Has anybody else noticed flawed Join dates?

Jul 25, 2011 5:33 PM

I just noticed a strange one. @patentdude's mouseover says he joined today, which he obviously didn't, as he has deals from months ago.

Anybody know where the problem is on this one?
If it's my system, any idea how to fix it?
If it's Woot, I figured I should let you know.

My join date also shows as today's date. Just going through the first page of fresh I see @loubriccant & @duckcake also joined today

My date is correct at the moment. Wonder if it's going to be one of those rolling errors like the temporary disenfranchisement bug.

@shawnmiller: Medic!!

Our Friendly Neighborhood Wootbot has also lost his staff badge and some comments are hidden, both of which happen when the bug rears it's ugly little head again.

I did it! I'm a time traveler! I'm now exactly 1 year and 18 days younger (in woot years) than I was yesterday!

Now the trick is to memorize lottery numbers and figure out a way to go back...or make mental notes of when previous BoCs show up./priorities

Welcome all new Woot!-ers. Refreshments will be served, to include bacon, and crab. Time travelers welcome.

@klozitshoper: Only if the pizza has bacon on it.
Okay, in it would be acceptable, too.

My join date is still accurate (12/2006) - but I haven't been on in months.

I've seen quite a few futuristic join dates before.

At first I thought it was a time zone thing.. Some of 'em may have been, but if I remember right, there were some that were days out of whack..

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.
