Every dang time I got stuck trying to get the big gold button up. How the heck does everyone else get through and I only get server errors? Congrats to everyone who some how gets in.
It puts the crap inside the bag or it gets the hose again.

Scored a Santa's Sack of Crap after a half hour of refreshing. Now I can't wait to open my last Bag of Coal that is sitting patiently under the Christmas tree calling my name.
Buy the ticket, take the ride

holy carp been on here since 06 and no sacks for me. This year I finally get one. Last few years I would miss christmas sack by a few minutes because of wrapping gifts etc... I missed april fool crap and the rest. Forget about wootoffs if I was not at work I would never get order in.
This year I was ready. At computer at 1 am and caught the link in description and got server error right away gave up about 5 minutes later figured I missed another. Checked out my fantasy football teams fopr about 20 minutes and for slaps and giggles tried woot page loaded right away and link took me right to the sack and I got one.

The least they can do is move the actual order pages to new servers. Let the main want one page get busy, but if you're ready to submit, the damn servers shoulnt crach.
Needless to say, im a little pissed. Merry freakin Christmas!
I used to feel the same way. Then I thought about it. If the purchase pages were elsewhere, somebody would develop a script or a program to automate their ordering process. So, instead of fighting via the "Refresh" button for a half an hour to have a chance at getting a Blessing Of Commerce, you and I would both be shut out in the first sixty seconds by those who are running the scripts, macros, or other software.
No, thanks. I'm glad to let them keep things just the way they are. At least this way gives us all a chance.

Computers were refreshing, left clicking with the mouse.
Some wooters were saddened by the smell of no crap,
But those wooters should read, instead of glancing at their woot app.
And although it took about a half hour or so,
Woot proved to be true under an amazon CEO.
So for those who read carefully, and clicked oh just right,
It's a merry christmas to all and to all a goodnight.
merry christmas!
well played sir! Merry Christmas indeed

My wife swears I'm keeping Woot! in business all by myself. I think she may be onto something.
