Has pop.woot gone poof?

Nov 29, 2012 9:42 AM

I was looking forward to seeing what's next, but looks like it's offline for now.

As shown on pop.woot.com right now:
"nothing's popping right now
Sorry, deal fiend. Woot's not currently running a pop-up shop. But we're sure you can find something on one of our regularly scheduled sites to plug your bargain crave-hole.

When's the next Pop.Woot pop-up shop? You'll just have to keep an eye on our main site, our email newsletters, our Daily Digest emails, our Twitter feed, or our Facebook page to find out. Miss it at your peril!"

We knew ahead of time that it was a temporary sub-site. It might come back in the future so keep your eyes open for it.

@jsoko: I think in the original email about pop they said it would only be around for a week.

@cengland0 is correct. It was intended as a temporary site not unlike the seasonal stores that pop up in the mall this time of year. So this one is gone.

Stay tuned though.

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.
