I'd like a black circle/white exclamation point logo shirt.

You should have to buy it with a Jumbowoot coupon.

No can do. No Woot-related designs for derby entries.

A few randoms ago, they did send out the ! logo on teal and pink shirts, though. I had to trade for my pink one, though. What can I say? - I like to be thorough.

I think one should have to stay at the Black Triangle for at least 2 weeks to 1 month, with no hiccups.

I have a coupon burning a hole in my pocket. Woot, can you whip these shirts up before my coupon expires on 12/31/11 (or 12/30/11 from what I've been reading)?

@wilcononomous: Similar has been done... I have a black shirt with a blue circle and black exclamation point.

No, but I would buy 3 if the triangle was green.

No, I wouldn't buy it for this reason: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_triangle_%28badge%29.

@mtrlgrl: That Wikipedia article was interesting. Thanks! I wonder if that infomation would have any impact on some Wooters wanting to achieve/maintain their black triangle status.

Would it turn purple in 2 days away from a computer?

Nope, because I can't get to purple, much less to black. :P

I love that idea! Too bad it's against the rules :(

@dutchpants: I like the idea of a color-changing one.
Maybe a mood triangle? Or change color to alert you to a BOC being posted?

@mtrlgrl: That triangle's the wrong direction compared to the Woot! triangle though...

@reemus: That is true. And the original meaning and reference is so old and obscure maybe people won't think of it. Ok, I am in for one shirt.

It makes me laugh at how important Reputation has become on deals.woot. When I first started checking this site I just came here to check everyday because I was literally adding some of the best deals and I was also buying some of the best deals that other people had placed on here. Now it seems like most people don't really care if its even a deal or not just as long as you think people will upvote it and less and less people are doing research to see if they have even found a good deal or not. I do love rep but I miss the good old days where people came here purely out of the love of deals.

No, but I would buy/wear a shirt with my username, my black woot square and my green deals woot triangle. (Small print on the chest)

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
