Honestly. Why are you all complaining that this is the worst Woot Off! Ever? There’s been worse, way worse.
In the Beginning the servers would go down every few minutes, syntax errors left and right. Most of you haven’t been around for that long or have even bought that much. I haven’t bought a WHOLE lot, but I’ve bought enough and been around long enough to know how things work.
The Woot! Staff have had their hands pretty full with their newest additions (Sellout! and Shirt.Woot.com ). They’re working hard to bring you guys new stuff to keep the site fresh and that takes a lot of time and effort. So please, stop whining if you don’t think this was even worth the time – it might not have been. Please just move on with your life and I’m sure you’ll still be checking the site at Woot!-O’clock seven days a week.
The servers would most likely be more stable if you guys would use a tracker/checker. There’s TONs of them out there these days. I’m a part of TrackWoot so of course I recommend that one, check my sig for the link. Also to the people that DO run trackers, there’s a wiki for a reason, please stop spamming the forums so much. It’s gotten so bad I just skip the very fi-rst page of posts and start the conversation on page two.
As a fellow Woot!er I ask that you guys give them a little bit of a break – running this site has to be hard work, and I think they do a good job. They’re one of the pioneers of this business model, so they’re their own guinea pigs in this. They have a few servers issues to work out, but I assure that I’ll be around until and when they do.
To Woot!, keep on doing what you’re doing. You are doing an amazing job and I salute you.
P.S. Please put the RSS feed back on Sellout.woot.com so our sellout tracker will work again, thanks
Oh, and yes I know I signed up in 2006, took me a while before I actually had enough money to buy something. College sucks.
Very well said my friend!! as someone who has been through many woot offs as well, and I remember the server crashes. I have to commend woot for all of the hard work and dedication to keeping the product and site fresh. Now, if we could only do something about all of the noobs.
"DON"T TASE ME BRO!!!
Yahoo does not own any or part of Woot! at all. So this makes no sense. Woot! is still running the normal Woot! deals and Woot!Offs how they want to. Your argument holds no grouds, please read before you open your mouth.
Who do you work for Yahoo or Woot? Yahoo and Woot made a deal …I never said that either one owned the other. You should think before you open your trap!!

I’m sorry if I interpreted your post wrong, but I inferred that you said Yahoo was influencing how this Woot!Off was ran. Which would not be the case.
I apologize if I mis-understood what you read, but that is how it appeared to me.
And I work for a graphic design and print shop, so neither Woot or Yahoo

Anyone that bought wine cellars I’ll buy them from you for whatever you paid and pay shipping to me if you dont want them…
Amazing that the ones who whine about BOCs can’t recognize them when they see them.

Congrats! Instead of pounding the servers with your F5 button of doom, I suggest you use a tracker! It’ll refresh the page for you. www.trackwoot.com is one that I’ve been a part of, and we feel it’s the best
ooohh! ill do that!

Well the dogs are barking…and I need to feed the pigs. Wife said the washing maching was vibrating and about to fall off the porch…so I guess I had better go…See Yall at the next woot off
Now that things have settled down again, I’ll post to see if anyone might have a suggestion.
I bought one set of 10 bags, and my order seemd to go through fine. I never received email confirmation from Woot. (At least not yet) I do however, have an email from Paypal saying that I’ve paid.
Just wondering if there is a log jam of confirmation emails in cyberspace or what.
thats something that only woot can answer.
Done already? Woot, where’s the Slingbox??!!!

I would say wait a little bit. Give the servers the rest of the night to breathe and catch up. Check your account to see if the order went through. If things haven’t moved anymore by morning, Shoot and an email to Woot! and I’m sure they’ll take care of it on Monday and make things right.
