So, one the more exciting things to do on woot, whether you've won a Bunch of Change or not, is to interact, wait, and watch the un-boxing of Bunch of Changes. It's obviously popular, as it appears to get to nearly 100 threads in just a short period of time.

This time however, it has suffered in lack of audience. This is partially due to the layout changes and the removal of it in the woots! history. The only place I have been able to access it is from my personal order history, because I happened to have won one. Even before though, you had to search around to find it.

Why not establish a front page link icon to the Bunch of Change discussion. Or possibly update it to an official "Talk Crap" page for the most current craps that have occurred. It's popular right now, but posting it on the main page somewhere where it can be accessed directly would be awesome.

Speaking for myself actually, it took me 3 years of just browsing woot.com every so often to figure out what a Bunch of Change actually was (I actually found out through reading a magazine). That sucked me in on another level, and since then I have attended the last 2 woot-offs and purchased 32 or 33 woots.

Now crunch those numbers and map out those projections with your super-awesome-data-skills. It benefits both you and the community.

With that said, I bring you "TALK CRAP!" - The portal for everything Bunch of Change-o-licious.

LOL! Great graphic! Love it! If I could suggest only one change, it would be that you make the area around the Bag (inside of the, er, urinal all black. That was the elusive Bag would stand out more.

And I LOVE the idea of a special area to discuss the Bouts of Consternation.

There's really nothing different with how it appears in the threads or order of the threads.

The easiest way to find it while the thread is active is to click on the Woots tab and choose Sort by last post right below the tabs. This will almost always pop the Bouts of Consternation thread to the first page for you.

TT, I love the new design of the website, but I have to agree.

Finding the product discussion threads for the products you have already purchased is not intuitive at all. I don't think we need a gigantic button just for this, I just think the website needs more focus on the product discussion thread. I really miss the "Blog" and "Discuss" options that were available with the previous design.

Even if you can just put a link that says "Click Here for the product discussion thread" after clicking Order Details, I would be happy.

I can see your point there. I think that is excellent feedback and I've passed it on myself. Please pass that on via the beta feedback. Trust me, they are reading it and I heard comments that the feedback has been tapering off.

I was thinking that in general, I always find the Bouts of Consternation thread the way I mentioned above. That way also works for those that didn't get to buy a Bouts of Consternation but want to watch the thread.

Isn't it Woots tab, then Community, then Sort by last post?
