When will Woot! add its one millionth member?

Joyner joined us (out of lurker mode) a week or two ago. Where’ve you been? :tongue:

[QUOTE=darthv8r, post:20, topic:100610]
Joyner, so you are a lurker too! Well thanks for coming out, it’s fun having old/new people to talk to.

edit: what do you mean by public?

I believe he means, when will they offer stocks - an IPO?

Ahh! Woot stocks, no refurbs please…

[QUOTE=mphdavid, post:19, topic:100610]
Back when Joyner and I joined, we were 11 days apart which means members may have been joining at a rate of 333 members per day. What a difference! Another contest would be to guess when woot! will go public.

Wow you sound like me. You have been a woot member almost forever, you have bought a lot of woots, you don’t have many posts, and now all of a sudden you started posting! So did you decide that after 30 years at work they aren’t going to fire you for a little wooting or what is your excuse?

thanks v8r

I teach so I usually don’t have time for posting anything during school and I go to bed after the new Woot! is presented. I happen to be off this week and wanted to see if anyone else thought about number one million. never have done much blogging/posting before today.

Hate to do a poof/d’name/daj/ace (whoever is the comma policewoamn) on you, but that isn’t what you said.

Oh, welcome mphdavid to whoreville. Please stay awhile even though the forums are a little screwy now.

What did I say, d’nam…er selli?

You said:

“Joyner, so you are a lurker too! Well thanks for coming out,”

I ain’t no grammar expert or nothing, but to me, that sounds like you are addressing Joyner, realizing that she is a lurker and then thanking her for coming out.

No?

Fall break? Teach math, probability?

Woot started in July '04. Look how many joined before I did.

Are you the oldest (by woot-birthday, not real age - not trying to insult anyone :)) of the regular PWAs?

Ahh I see! What I meant was Joyner? (dramatic pause)…so you are a lurker also (like joyner was)

My bad

No bad. I was just confused and that’s not hard to do.

whispers Do you think we scared mph off?

I think so, guess he’s not use to all this whoring action. Mathematically he has posted more in the past hour then he ever has!

I doubt Woot will go public. At this point, unless they need a major cash infusion, it would be a stupid move.

whispers You didn’t scare me off. I’d say he’s made of sterner stuff. He’s been around a long time.
