If you are unfamiliar with the UBOT, here is the previous/completed 2021 Version:
TLDR: This is a BOC-style box that is NOT sponsored by Woot - just some forum participants who want to share/pass along a big-ol-mystery box of fun to others.
So the pleading and arm twisting worked, and Taz has once again agreed to be our Leader!
As official record keeper, I’m starting this new thread, so I can edit the top post of names.
So what is the UBOT??
Contrary to the name, we really do NOT want to spend a lot of time and money just shipping actual garbage, so please be considerate of that, when adding your contributions to the box.
Only active Wooters will be considered for participation, we will look at your post history!
Final decisions will be made by @RebelTaz .
By asking to join, you are agreeing to the following rules:
- SHIPPING IS EXPENSIVE! If you do not think you can afford to ship a large 20lb+ box across the country, do not ask to join this list. Things happen. If your financial circumstances change, and you need to hold off on participating after agreeing, just let myself or Taz know and we can bump you down the list or remove you until next time.
- If, when your turn comes close, you know that you will not be able to get the box mailed back out within one weeks time (you have a vacation or busy time planned), ASK TO BE BUMPED LOWER ON THE LIST, so we avoid long delays. Folks who do not do this, will be banned from future participation.
- When you receive a box, let the group know the box has arrived.
- Privately contact the person below you on the list, to get their shipping info. If you do not get a timely response from that person, it is your responsibility to report that to the group, so management can make a decision on skipping ahead down the list.
- “The Reveal” - Take photo(s) of ONLY what you are keeping. Post the photo(s) to the group, along with an itemized list of what is in the picture(s).
- Use a highlighter to cross off in the book what you are keeping.
- Start a new page in the book, head it with your screen name, and then list all of the NEW items you are adding.
- Put the book and highlighter back in the box, pack the box up with the left over items you are not keeping, and new items (which should be equal to or better than what you kept), and ship it off to the next person.
- Send the next person a tracking number PRIVATELY, and post to the GROUP that you have actually shipped the box to the next person.
Drop your interest down below, so we can start to assemble the list of victims participants.
To make it fair, the names will be randomly put in order, once the final count has been reached.
We are limiting the number of participants this go around, so post below ASAP, to be considered for inclusion.
If you want to be considered for this chaos:
Being social on the forums, and not just the freebie/giveaway threads, is a good way to make friends and earn trust. We are selective to try to include only folks known to the community forums, to hopefully avoid the box being stolen and not passed along (commonly referred to in some circles, as “the monkghi & SkeletonQueen08 incidents”)
We will review your community participation, for consideration in joining the list.
