When did woot change the name from Random Crap to Bag of Crap?

I finally secured another BOC, I'm just wondering when Woot changed the name from Random Crap to Bag of Crap.

Christmas of 2010

Well, then I feel like now, calling it a Bag of Crap is not as pleasureful as it previously was. Perhaps we should call it Bag of Carp instead, to keep the spirit of pre-Christmas 2010 alive...

They waited until you weren't looking. They just wanted to see how long until you noticed.

My dad does that sometimes. He'll buy a random item, place it in plain sight, and see how long until my mom notices. (usually weeks)

@dirtydave0221: I am soooo envious! I kept an eye on the site all day, happened to be online exactly as the BOC came up, and then couldn't get into the server in time. [dramatic sigh] My life is ruined.

I got through but forgot to enter my security code so it sold out after I entered it.

@magic cave: I missed out on about the last 6 because I hadn't made a recent purchase and was therefore not logged in (hence why I haven't noticed the name change) I'm not keeping my hopes up, I know it's called a Bag of Crap for a reason.

I hope it's a good one @dirtydave0221. I got to confirm my credit card information but could not get the next page to load. Maybe next time.

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.
