Can you believe Deals.Woot has 100,000 deals?
It was a little tricky to figure out who posted the 100,000 deal. Every time we counted them one of the moderators sniffed out a duplicate or a spam post or something to delete... and we really got tired of singing the "99,999 deals on the site" song over and over.
So, we replayed a bunch of scenarios using our search engine and some database queries and settled on this deal posted by @heymo.
Congrats to @heymo! I think @jumbowoot is going to drop by this thread to talk about some fabulous prizes.
It took us about 475 days to reach 100,000 deals. Any guesses on how long it will take to reach the next 100,000?

Dibs on 237.5!
I'm gonna say 326. Things are moving faster these days, yknow! Congrats @Heymo !
I wonder what kind of magical crap you'll be receiving...
Can you believe it also has a thousand bugs?
Never mind. I see that the second question was answered within the body of the post. Congratulations to @heymo, indeed!
Congrats, heymo.
How long will it take to post another 100,000? Well (I know it is a deep subject), that depends upon the leader board and if it is broken or telling everyone to add deals to increase their reputation. :)
Congratulations @heymo. I bet your prize will be a black triangle.
(Don't worry, lavender is the new black in my opinion.)
To get to 200,000? 234 + pi
@xarous: It would appear he has kept his Triangle of Darkness during the Great Purple Onslaught of '11
@abramokids: That lucky bas...I mean very awesome and active member of this wonderful community. And by community, I mean forced social-societal experiment, in which the rules are constantly changing, yet we as participants are rarely informed.
You like me! You really, really like me! I'd like to thank the Academy, the director, the producers, all of my wonderful castmates and colleagues... Oh, wait. Wrong speech.
/me Looks around.
What the... What happened to all of you? Did you spill wine on your triangles? Think I'll have a beer instead.
So, yeah, anyhow, congrats Woot!!
congrats @heymo you deserve it.
@heymo: Congratulations, I love that you (and others) were posting deals related to 100,000! I hope @jumbowoot has something wonderful for you. :)
Congrats @heymo AND deals.Woot!
I've bought plenty of crap from both of your guy's posts :)
...31 pages of ADDED deals - impressive. You've put a loottaa hours in finding deals for the rest of us fellow deals.Wooters.
You've earned whatever sweeet prize ends up at your doorstep.
(ed. I'm with @xarous, you'll probably get home one day with a 100,000 gram black triangle at your door heh)
@drchops: 31 pages??!? Good God, someone needs a hobby!
... Actually, it's not as bad as it sounds. Comes out to roughly one a day.
100,000 deals. Wow.
Let's see, I'd roughly estimate that to include about 25,000 bacon-related posts, 10,000 zombie deals, and about 20,000 threads for lingerie.
Oh, and good on ya', @heymo.
Did the 100,000th deal poster get a free BOC or anything?
@anotherhiggins: You forgot the crabs.
did @jumbowoot ever stop by or @heymo did you ever get the fabulous prize that was hinted at. Just curious. Though we know @jumbowoot has been busy sending out prizes to folks already
@djbowman: I got a giganimous bag of crap. See http://deals.woot.com/questions/details/1c9e20cd-ec8e-4a17-a994-e8bc5377907e/whats-the-unifying-theme-or-deal-100k-redux#10 for the list.
