Wow! So this is what it feels like to be a minority I'm one of only two white guys in here.

4 years of woot buying resistance. nice.

[shakes fist]

Oh, Woot gods, what color dost thou bestoweth on me??

edit: Wow, that's ridiculous.

hmmm....I wonder what color I am...5...4...3...2...1

Brown...ack! I have got some more shopping to do!!!

How can you be a member of woot since 2005 and have NO woots, wow, just... wow....

checking my color now...

EDIT: Green, yay!

I'm not sure whether to be happy I have a black box or very, very sad that I've spent so much money here.

It was better not knowing!

NOW, what's my color?

-purple.

DO SELLOUTs COUNT?

Color Check

I was black. What am I now?

Green? GREEN? I hate green! Guess I'm just gonna have to get busy and buy some scaffolding!

Just want to make sure my color is right. We'll see.

this old schooler would also have liked to see a charter member icon...

[gazes misty-eyed into the distance and ponders the old days when mystery speaker sets were all the rage...]

Sweet! I like colors ;-)

Oh man, I just earned the black box for 25, guess I have to keep shopping...

Does this count Shirt.Woot and any others as well, or are they separate? (I guess I'll find out in a second...)

I've only made 7 regular Woots since 2006, but I've practically replaced my entire wardrobe with Woot shirts. OTZ


Edit: So it does count! Cool beans. Also, I have a quality post?! Wish I knew what that was, hahaha. I've rarely posted here.

Really?
But I don't buy anything! Honest! I don't know where those woot boxes and envelopes come from.

Hubby only has 34. Of course, he doesn't even know he has an account, other than when the charge shows up on his charge card.

Hee hee! You sound like a fun person--I have the same problem.

...now am trying to get a house ready to sell, but extra room is so full of Woot! boxes that I don't know where to put. I often click "I want 3" because it's a better deal, which causes me to have bigger boxes. There are so many things I've never opened (phones,digital photo frames, slingbox, vornado fans, dvd burner, wireless things, mp3 players, other things in the back of the room--who knows what is in all of those boxes on the treadmill?). Is there a support group for people with this problem? I need to have another garage sale. People loved all of the new items last year. I really want 3 of those Curious George toys on kids.woot today, but I would only need one as a gift. The other two might come in handy some day...

Sounds like you already have your christmas shopping done.

Yes!! You people just make me sick!!!

By the way, what is a quality post and how much do I have to pay to get one? (I am kidding about having to pay, but I am really asking about the quality post.)

EDIT: Or at least what is considered to be quality.

Yep. Posting to see my new color too. Thanks for playing...

Hmm... only 25-49 woots since 2004? I'm a slacker.

YALQCCn - you figure it out!

Oh, and SlimeDog: 12/24/04? Newbie!

Damn. I liked being better than everyone else. I'm back to being a nobody again.

But I envy your purple square. Takes me back to the old days of purple.

Mmm, yes yes, very good. Keeping all the poor riff-raff out of the black qube club. A tip of the hat to woot!

Yay, new icons! :D

Whirlygig.

Okay, green ain't bad, purple would make me thing I was spending way too much money on Woot, and black would make me wonder why I complain about only beng able to afford to eat ramen noodles.

are these, technically speaking, icons?

So how do you like your new color?

Well, actually, it's not the color so much as what it stands for, now, is it? Purple's okay. I rather like the sliding scale, where it changes quickly at the lower levels, and more slowly as more woots are accumulated. Still, I suspect I won't be purple all that long.

Are you baffled and amazed that anybody cares about this stuff?

Actually, nothing surprises me any more. What amazes me most is this:

1 shirt.woot
2 kids.woot
11 wine.woot
62 woots

Sixty-two!?!? Really, how many leakfrogs does anyone need?

colour-chk

[Crosses fingers] ...purple, purple, purple!!

seems odd to me that everyone has to post a comment to see what color their qube is. I would think I could just log in (is there a button for that or do I just have to attempt to post or buy which forces a login?) and then check my account. (and again I don't see a simple way to do that?) so what color is my trifling qube?

sorry but your plan backfired woot. i remember racing to get that black square at 25 and was content. since then i thought i was hovering around that number. i was shocked to see i had a purple square! i have seen the light. i can admit now that i have a problem. i am gonna remove u from my bookmark. plus whats worse is i don't even know what i bought! i don't have anything! well...i got this computer from you guys and that still works, but everything else died!! well, my phones and roomba still works but nothing else! oh my electronic pig still oinks when i walk past it in the kitchen. i used it as a munchies deterrent but that's besides the point. Sayonara.....W00T!
