If you want a better way to accurately split wooters into categories, you should use total spend as your metric.

That's the way the rest of the world does it, unfortunately.

Just saying, if you've never been lucky enough to get a Boggy Old Creature nor a sucker enough to buy 3 items worth 1 cent each, you may have helped woot out more by buying a $1,000 TV (more than I have, I'd bet).

It seems I'm at 35 regular woots, 29 shirt wotots, and 16 sellout woots. I'm only 20 away from regaining my black square.

Should come quickly....

174 woots not counting the other sites... I heart my black box and yes, I'M BETTER THAN YOU

ok, I counted. 19 shirts and 16 sellouts.

wow. Thought I'd be squarely in the green, but it turns out I'll be in the purple.

(not counting multiples)
21 Woots
28 Shirts
2 Sellouts
1 Wine
0 Kids (so far, but my guess this will grow fast)

52 total

Nooooo! Aw man...

When do we get Woot Achievements?

Well I'll still be the same color, roughly, so no disappointment here :D

what color is your qube-a-chute?

Back in black
I hit the sack
I've been too long I'm glad to be back

wouldn't one of his perks be that he gets a free copy of each shirt they print?

Hold your mouse over your name next to any of your posts. You'll see how many posts you (or anyone else has made). You're at 59... you've got a long way to go to catch up in that other meaningless scoring game...

I just wish I could be blue again.

I had just earned the coveted "stop impulse buying random scaffolding you moron" black qube too ... It appears I'll have to make 75 more extremely suspect decisions at 1am est now. Let's start with charger and batteries for a system I barely play.

Just checking which echelon I've fallen into.

I supposed we'll always have the good ol' days.
Or you can click this instead. (It's only temporary.)
(I had to edit the link for the new code, neat!)

I'm glad to have a color again and bonus that it matches woot's new colors. I like matching.

LMAO!!! You just made my morning!

I'm kind of glad now that I hadn't made it to black yet. To have it taken away would just be too painful.

ive only bought a woot item once. Shirts though....i have plenty.

Status check...

At my current pace I should be able to re-acquire my black qube by the end of the year...assuming there are woots worth wooting at any of the woots within Woot!
...and cash in my bank account as well...

For now it's lavender along with .61% of y'all!!! It is isn't it?!?

Hey, at least you're not in damn SLOW rural dialup country like some of us.

So, will us .1 percenters get a buncha respect, or just become targets for every new gunslinger in town? ;)

Yep. Like I tell friends and family, I order stuff online rather than walk into the warehouse because it's cheaper than interrupting staff to help me. (although really it's just more fun to be a customer) 100+ wooter here (looked like ~150-ish)

By the way for those checking - the new system hasn't dropped in yet - that's sometime later this week.

Edit - actually I should have checked - it either launched since then or was launched when I typed the above.

Alas, I'm stuck in the vast desert that is the brown square...

31 Woots to go in order to keep being better than everyone else. But some royal purple won't be so bad in the interim.

I protest! Your color-coding scheme is nothing but discrimination, pure and simple!

Color-coding is an affront to each and every Colorblind American and Colorblinds of all nationalities! It's just another attempt by the unthinking, unfeeling colorsighted majority trying to keep the colorblind man down!

And now I'm replying to my own post because I just looked at it and you know what? I can't tell what *%$!ing color my own little square is! So &^%$ you, Woot! $%^* you all to hell! I'm never coming back here again! Well, unless of course you have something I really need, or like, or want, that I can afford.

Whatever happened to the ROYGBIV color scale? I can't believe I remember that... 8th grade science was a looooooooong time ago...

yikes, I'm purple. I hope my wife doesn't find out!

I'm still elite. How sad is this?

I still think it would have been cool to break out the woots to their own color cube as a four square. So if you had 25+ on each woot, the square would be totally black.

Especially since we now have 4 woots to follow ..... woot, wine.woot, shirt.woot, & sellout.woot ..... scaffolding, now we have kids.woot? dagnabit!


Nevermind .....

what color am I?

4 more 'til purple. that'll prob change tonight.

I'm on the cusp. One more purchase and my qube will change.

My quality posts > my woots :P

Just six more until I can get into pretty purple and out of grotty green.

Sorry. Never mind.

I miss my blue qube.
