Black Triangle, meet Black Square!

Oct 26, 2011 6:54 AM

I couldn't resist! My 100th purchase is the BuckyCubes! I don't know why but I feel like a million bucks :)

I feel so wooty! so wootalicious!

So the question is... What do I get for being in the Black Square Club? I already remember the triangle initiation! (SCARY)

@coolphilip04: yeah i thought about 4x something but i OVERanalyzed these triangles of ours. they wouldn't make good squares since they're not long enough on the bottom. even if you flip them and point 4 towards each other.

the triangle over a square does make a nice house with slight overlap of the top part over the base

I'll consider that strategy but I doubt @gatzby would go for it.

Also, grats @devexityspace! Forgot to mention that last post.

@inkycatz: Ask for a raise so you can afford to buy more stuff you don't need!

No big deal about being 50,000 ... it's done, it's past, and it's probably just a matter of time before The Binge hits 60,000, which IMHO, is going to be grander than even 50k. Besides, if I really cared, there's always Photoshop.

@w00tgurl: I thought it was 4 times the Black Triangle initiation. Since 4 triangles make a square.

If a moderator would be so kind as to answer:
So, what's the total tally? How much of the total woot population has achieved this accomplishment?

@narfcake: I'm just sad it went by so fast we couldn't screencap it.

Also, I am insufficent in my triangle and box colors and will endeavor to shop harder in the future.

Mine was actually pretty recently, I think the 72 glow sticks is what finally got me to 100. I think it's a fairly apt way for me to get my black box.

@underinsomnia: Discount code? Yeah right! Woot is probably thinking "This customer will buy anything - let's charge double!"

As in the other discussion, I'm nearing that mark myself. Knowing me, it'll probably be another shirt. Besides the two displays of shirt.woot nerditude, I was also the 50,000th sale of The Binge because I got tired of hitting F5 to see who was going to be the one to get it.

According to the account page on the dot woots, you now get into heaven, or at least your chances are better.

I feel the time where they restructure the color coding for squares again is coming soon.

Congrats! Perhaps the woot gods might celebrate with you on your achievement by giving you a discount code? One can only hope, right?

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.
