Has anyone else noticed that there hasn't been any new Quality Posts since the 27th? That's unusual right?

It's almost tracking number time.... Cmonnnnn pony

Not really. Woot hasn't started shipping out the Bunnies Ogling Carrots#39;s so there isn't anything to Spring Training.

I wonder how many of them were trying to score a Bag last week. Lots of players, few winners in the BOC hunt!

If there are only 98,993 registered Wooters, why is my user ID around 3.5 million?

There is more than 98,993 wooters for sure. Just looking at the amount of Oomas sold, I highly doubt that over 10% of wooters bought one.

Figuring 95% like to bash ooma and talk about how (Insert any other Voip device here) is way better and cheaper than ooma.

Also accourding to Alexa woot is the 151st most popular page in the USA. Alexa also states: site's audience tends to be disproportionately moderately educated.

Not sure how to take that..hmmm

How are you seeing your user id?

Waiting on a Barrel of Crops to ship. I just hope that mine doesn't come from warehouse #4,5, or 7. They don't exist on the Warehouse origins page. Unless they are super secret warehouses with the ultimate Boots of Carrots. Woot! Woot! Then bring it on.

Last offering my wife went out and purchased Zelda Skyrim to bide my time. Now what am I going to do?

Well, now I have to post a message with my original woot ID to see when I came on board. (I'm now CapnJB)

edit - 17666

Probably a good thing I changed it

Yeah, 297814 is higher, but better

What the difference between the warehouses? Do some hold better stuff than others?

I'll take anything from Warehouse 13.

What you really don't want is for it to ship from Warehouse 13.

Or at least Geeky ones.....

I was not lucky enough, despite many attempts, to land a Bunnies Ogling Carrots this time around so I am now eagerly awaiting the arrival of my 'mystery bag of mystery' from that other site. I even paid the up charge to supersize the contents.

I feel like I am playing in the NIT tournament though... Even if I win it all I am still not part of the big dance. I will report in with whatever they send me, and will eagerly await what Col Crap sends out to the fortunate few this round!

The numbers on deals.woot are only the people that are registered and have visited deals.woot.

This means there are at least 98,000 wooters. And according to Wikipedia, a Woot staff member said on April 1, 2011 there were over 7 million attempts to get the Bunnies Ogling Carrots I'm not sure how accurate this is and haven't looked in to it.

Mike,

How's the Total Gym / Journey to the Piecaken going? (I was re-living the insanity of the last Bag and saw this in the last few pages)

I didn't remember that you have to register separately to participate at deals.woot.

In any case, does 7 million attempts to get the Bag mean 7 million clicks on the "I Want One" button, with the ensuing request to go to the BUY page? If so, how many attempts does each Wooter generate? I know on days that I have a hard time getting through, at least with the old servers, I might generate 50-100 of those all by myself.

I am SO JEALOUS. I've never had a job that was more than just a way to put food on the table and pay bills (before my grad school stipend, anyway, but we'll see how I feel about that in a year...).

I'm going to keep asking questions, if that's okay. It's an unusual (from my perspective at least job, and I'm always excited to talk to someone who loves their job.

Did you have to move for the job? Or do you just log in somewhere and lounge around in your pajamas fighting trolls and spam? Or is there some sort of Looking Glass-esque immersion tank thing going on?

Oooh, books.

Such agony checking every morning (late-morning, mid afternoon, evening, late night ...) for that tracking number.

That is a good question, I wish they could get us some better numbers.

I think ThunderThighs must have fallen asleep.

And thanks for the link!

Mine is 1463257

Which is 1234567 rearranged..that has to mean something, just have to figure out what.

My UserID is 1895287, which is a prime number.

I guess I am better than all the rest of you.

I am hoping to have it built by this weekend. My wife is hoping all be done moving the rooms around by several weekends ago.

This means something! This is important!



Mine is 1323067

Which, if we take each number and turn it into its corresponding letter of the alphabet is ACBC0GH

Which conveniently spells...

BAG 0H CC
