Why does everyone pick on mnementh? I wonder who's won the most, anyway? ...probably mnementh!

When I first started lurking at woot, it seemed that mnementh won something every week.

mnementh actually keeps track of who has won the most prize money. Some time ago, he would claim that so-and-so had actually won more money, and that he had only won first prize once.

And we pick on mnementh because he is the source of all evil. (Namely recursive Hasselhoff pictures).

won second twice, why am i not on the list?

Wow, woot sent me money! Thanks a lot woot (Jason). Happy Holidays!

I just got my PayPal action as well. And that's for this past week's contest!

I've personally never had to complain about the $$ stuff. Maybe it's because I welcomed my woot overlords, or I'm incredibly lucky, i dunno.

Thanks for the quick turnaround JT and folk! Woot!

Yayy!!! I got my haiku moneys today! Yayy!!!


Now, where's one of those $50 Robosapiens?

Still don't have my De-Motivator money :(

Y'all got winnings from Dec. contests already? I'm jealous.

I won #46, sent an unread (if you believe the icon & page view numbers) PM to Jason Toon in November 14th with my PayPal address, then an unanswered email to Woot! in mid-December, and then last week, a second (as of now) unread PM.

Nothing yet.

I'm in the same boat, MMorgan, I've heard nothing from Woot since I won #45. :-(

Yep, I'm still waiting from contest #43. I figure there must be forces at work that I simply can't comprehend. Not wanting to be a rock in anyone's shoe (it seldom makes a person walk any faster) I'm just waiting.

Jason, please forgive the eleven or so PM's.

Happy New Year, Woot crew.

Got payment today for #46, also after a polite email. I'd imagine Jason Toon gets 3.6 billion PM's a day... perhaps Woot should consider setting up an email address specifically for contests.

Anyway, thanks Woot!, I appreciate it.

Ahem...

On the Way?

Soon?

How soon is "soon?"

Waiting for the 2nd monkey since Dec. 19, 'o5.

Didja award me the 2nd monkey, right before Christmas, knowing I'd never see either?

Cuz if you did... well... that's just plain wrong.

ARGH lives! I have worlds without number... I hope to visit with my friends living in this part of my boxen playground more often!

KT? I have been thought to be some of the best here, so, again, I am honoured!

Good to see you, ARGH.
Try not to take so much thorazine from now on.

Welcome back ARGH! We've missed ya!

Ah, the good old days.

I just loved this Title and thought it needed to be bumped up to the top of the contest posting heap.

A little Christmas cheer for those of us waiting for some news from Toon?

Or a little reminder that things have hit the fan recently?

Yay! I just PM'd you my paypal address: I'm due $70 from contest's 226 and 230.

I'm happy to hear that the contest will live on ... I finally got around to reinstalling my photoshop the other day, so I'm eager to get chopping again.

Bah, don't sweat it buddy. I'm interested to know what those guys are thinking of you comments four years ago.

I've been waiting since Jan 30th and Feb 9 for my Monkey Prizes.

Jan 30th and Feb 9 of 2005? Now that's a long time.

Unfortunately it would seem that Mr. Toon doesn't really care about the revolt he caused with not announcing winners for and not paying previous winners in the photoshop contests.

I for one have stopped purchasing anything from Woot until the contest situation is fully resolved. Woot is a business that started a contest. I would be shocked if it is not illegal for them to have a contest and honor their payouts in a timely fashion.

So, in the mean time, I will just pay a bit more elsewhere for the products. No sense in purchasing from a company that cannot honor their commitment to their most loyal customers/fans.

Bull pucky!

They really did substitute my monkey with a InFocus Projector!
You!
And it's signed, "Love you (and love yer monkey), Toonerz!"
Thanx!
I thought you all were ignoring we monkey prize winners.

Made you look!

Now, if we could have some long overdue winner's, that would be nice.

I Never got a monkey. I don't remember what contest it was, but it was a long time ago.

It is either KT or ARGH's sister. Can't think who else it would be.

Wait, what the hell is going on? This is an old thread.

If you're reading this, you may be an optimist.
