This reminds me of a comic joke:

@cengland0: We're talking about crap here...shouldn't it be the "fecal" position? :)

@jsimsace: I see what you did there.

As for me, I can't get Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me out of my head. (Now you know, and you've probably got it stuck in your head too.)

Well you beat me to it, but with some errors...first off its from 10:40CT to 11:40 CT...not 8:40...

Should have also mentioned that you email POC@woot.com with "Touch me, I'm Crap" in the subject line...

@cengland0: I've posted the past 4 or so and all have been with at least 30 minutes of time left...

@studerc: Ah, but by the time I click refresh to see the new deals, there's zero time left. Yes, it's my fault but this time I was finally able to submit that email within the time window.

Not that this means anything. The chances of me winning is very slim but at least there is now some hope. All the other times I had absolutely no hope of winning because my entry didn't count.

@cengland0: No worries, I've gone 9 for 9 with these things and we still have the exact same chance of winning in the end.

POC#9 Sent an email out to lucky # 1876 out of 2544 entries!:

I didn't get an email so I'm one of the unlucky people. Too bad, lost hope again. In a short bit, I'm going to curl up in the corner of my office in the fetal position for a few moments while I cry.

@studerc: funny thing is I cut and pasted from the posting over on World Of Woot (main page version) for the times and by this time I figured everyone interested knew about how to enter...but yes I could have/should have included that info, my guess is I copied a typo and they corrected after I posted

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.
