Passing the torch

Hi all

It is with mixed emotions that I announce to my Deals.Woot friends that I am leaving Dyscern/Secondipity. While I haven't had much time recently to spend with you all (darn site launch) I won't be shy about saying that hanging out with this crowd has been one of my favorite parts of my job.

Fear not that you won't hear about amazing Secondipity deals. I leave you in the capable hands of my colleague Tristin, soon to be known to you as @TrisSecondipity. She will keep you informed of our best deals. I have advised her of the following:

1. NEVER upset @shrdlu before she has had a chance to drink her morning coffee
2. Treat @hobbit extra nice because she will notify you very quickly when someone is saying something about you (and not using @ tags)
3. @mtrgirl is not "mountain girl"
4. If @theflounder comes out, duck.
5. No matter how hard you try @sgoman5674 won't buy any bacon deals
6. @perkalicious11 has freaky knowledge of most items, follow her advice

Take care my friends! I will be back soon with a new and nondenominational login so I can hang out just for fun.

@erikadyscern: I'm sure that we're (I hesitate to say "all" because I'm sure that there's at least one weirdo who didn't appreciate your sound input and good deals) looking forward to seeing you on the other side - even if you're not the one touting the big deals :) Please do be sure to let us know when you're back up, socially, and not all business-like!

Hello my fellow Deals.Wooters! As sad as I am to see Erika leave Secondipity, I'm excited that she's passing the Deals.Woot torch onto me (and adhering to her advice so as not to get burned by it :). I'll be here with great daily deals, probably some questions, and (hopefully) some answers.

@erikadyscern: @hobbit's gone. You will probably NEVER see The Flounder again. Then again, when was the last time you saw @jabathewoot?

It's true that I need coffee to resemble anything human-like.

@erikadyscern: In addition, perhaps you could tattle to make your "sianara" tag into "sayonara" (which I'm guessing is what you meant).

@fgarriel: Sorry for the delayed response! Rather than tell you what Secondipity is, you should check it out for yourself (unless you want a short novella, then I'd be happy to write about it :). We have great products at great prices, plus we offer a deal of the day every day. I've linked today's deal below if you want to take a look and get a better feel for what to look forward to from here on out!

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

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.
