How should deals.woot fill in the gray area below the other woot deals (if at all)?

How about a few links to deals.woot deals...perhaps some rotating categories such as: coupons, computers, clothing, jewelry, sporting goods with would link to the deals in those categories.

@wootvan below the deals where? I never seen any blank space below deals.

@wootvan: You must have a giant monitor. Mine isn't all that big so all I see are similar questions and similar deals. I like the idea, but I also think that adding too much might make the page too busy and too confusing.

ack! this comment was caused because I got a cloud error and was convinced that my comment above hadn't been entered. Plus it has a zero vote. What happened?

@wootvan:I don't think of it as empty space. I think of it as less stuff in the page load. I'm at the end of fiber, and I suspect that your connection is decent as well, but we want Deals to be successful, not to make it so difficult to load that we lose audience share to more light weight web sites.

@hobbit: I agree with you. there are some sites that are so cluttered that I can't navigate around them very well. One of the things that I have come to like about the woot! sites are their simplicity.

@wootvan: I agree with the others, I like it as is and never really noticed it until you mentioned it. I'm sure I'll go back to not noticing it very soon.

Minimalist FTW!

The only thing that I have seen which is a problem is the compactappliance.com site not working when I click on the ad.

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.
