Are you as alarmed as I am by the lack of a Woot-Off?

But... But there was a newsletter! D:

They don't always start at midnight Monday. Could still happen tomorrow, but I doubt it.

Woot typically has a Woot-Off once a month. They had one 11/8 to 11/9, so it's no surprise they aren't doing one now.

I think that they are toying with us as a test of loyalty...

Naw. The Woot-off starts tomorrow. As a special treat, anyone who buys anything also gets two-for-Tuesday Buckets of Corn.

Remember, you heard it here first.

ALARMED. You have to be kidding. I am alarmed at the way the government is is running (or not), the poverty and unemployment in this country, the world economy, but a woot-off? What planet are you on?

How many times has woot had two woot-offs in one month? It is still November and we already had one this month.

Not alarmed, but kinda bummed. Was hoping there would be one today since it's the last week I'd feel safe that Smartpost would get my stuff here in time.

@klozitshoper I typically save posts about those for government.woot, poverty.woot, unemployment.woot, and world.economy.woot.

@nortonsark and @ichigodiafuku, you're right of course. But I had high hopes because I can't remember ever getting a newsletter without it being followed by a Woot-Off, and I had such high hopes with yesterday being Cyber Monday and all. :)

Part of the fun of a woot-off is the pleasent surprise and sudden rush when you check woot as normal and you see those flashing yellow lights. If you expect it then you miss that. Unless somehow your livelihood or health is tied to a woot-off alarmed is probably not the right word.

@apocello42 @klozitshoper Okay, okay, I retract my use of "alarmed" and would like to instead substitute "disappointed" and "unpleasantly surprised." :)

Then again, @dmaz has a good point--I could probably do without obsessively watching Woot. For that matter, my wallet could probably do without a Woot-Off as well. XD

I remember going a few months without one back in 07 or 08. Talk about not having happy wooters, but it does suck having them all the time.

Alarmed, no. Rested, yes.

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.
