Does "active" mean that you buy a lot of deals.woot, that you post a lot of deals.woot, or that you comment on a lot of deals.woot?
I've bought like two things, but my counter hasn't gone up. *shrug*
Click the leaderboard link on deals.woot. It'll tell you what you have to do to get your rep up. Apparently I need to start tattling on expired deals more, but I've never been much of a tattler.
43 woots, 36 from woot, 4 from kids.woot, 3 from sellout.woot, 16 Bunnies Ogling Carrots

I've been trying to get one for a while now...got to the order page this time, but then my order was denied.... 
How about get a faster Internet connection? Or get the Wootalyzer.
Honestly they are 99% crap. My last one I won't even use any of it. I got a crappy little reusable bag (can't even use for grocery shopping), two cheap plastic wrist watches, a animal science kit for 4-5 year old (don't have kids), and a men's ugly orange 2XL polo shirt (Way too big for my husband or I).
I don't know why people get so upset over missing the Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia You will not be winning a television. They did that years ago, but not anymore. The highest priced item I have seen from the past year was a $60 set of headphones. Not exactly worth getting upset about.
Signatures are harshing my mellow.

I saw some folks wondering about preferential treatment regarding the highly coveted and always crap-filled Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia. I just checked my account, and this is my 8th time scoring one over the last four years. My last one was two woot-offs ago, where I got some kid stuff.
I've never used bots, never used any backdoor routes, and I've missed out on plenty of Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia. And I'm in Oregon, so there's no geographical advantage there.
I think we can chalk this one up to better servers. Last time I got one, it took about an hour of trying. This time, I soared right through.
I don't think Woot has ever played favorites on this (I don't even see how they can), despite the many conspiracy theories which always abound when folks don't score.
Don't look at me, I'm hideous!
Eleven bags of crap and counting.

Missed the Bountiful Overflowing Cornucopia by two minutes. Work always seems to get in the way of these things.

Yay! What a great day! I got notification that my son won a photo contest this morning, and then I get a Bootylicious Octopus Cookie on top of it all!

Its luck of the draw. I've found that a light-handed approach is much better than rapid-fire F5ing. *click* "I want one" wait...wait...wait... enter password, *click* "Info is correct" wait....wait....wait....wait....wait.....*click* "Buy It" wait....wait....wait....wait..... success.
I never F5 unless the waiting times out, then I hit F5 ONCE, and wait....wait....wait....
