My first time in the #1 spot!

Oct 3, 2012 5:39 PM

As your new President and general ruler of the world, I'd first like to thank the usual top 20 wooters for slacking up and allowing me my, sure to be brief, stint at the top.

Jeez. With lichme gone, they just let anyone into this club now huh? :-)

Congrats! And now you also get into the club of getting a downvote from me for making a non-question about the leaderboard!

While the post technically contains a question, I think what @kmeltzer is saying is you should have asked something like:
1. how long will I stay there?
2. what should I do next now that I've reached the top?

We are as always, here to help.

@inkycatz: Technically, if I put in "My first time in the #1 spot!" as a question, the system says: "WOULD YOU MIND PHRASING THAT AS A QUESTION?" So, it's not a question at all.

But, yes... actually making it a question as the "warning" asked would have at least been good :-)

Congratulations!

Your #1 Top Spot King of the World Kit will be arriving soon.

Contents will include:

1) Top Spot Medal (plastic actually, but go with it).

2) Full color poster of the leaderboard for that day. (A framed edition can be had $229.95)

3) a mandatory Top Spot Enrollment form which needs to be completed, and includes monthly club dues of $3.99 a month for being a Top Spot recipient (but this also includes a one-time $5.00 Jumbowoot anytime coupon - exclusions apply).

4) a signed photo of any member of the wOOt staff that you request.

Again, Congratulations.

In all honsety I think something went awry with the leaderboard. I am, somehow, in the #13 spot and I definitely contribute way less than most. Congratulations though.

haha Thanks guys.

And we can make any sentence into a question, so I really don't see the point in being picky about it. :-)

I just broke the top 1000. I think that's a first for me. Going for the number one spot? Who me? Hahahaha!

Congrats to you @firebirdude. That's pretty cool.

Don't forget your dues are due before the end of the month, the drinks are on you, and I hope you did what the rest of us did when we hit it: take a screen shot!

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.
