Tell me about it.
Dear Ry Jones,

Just over four years ago you witnessed the launch of woot.com and were one of our first 5,000 buyers. Since that time over 1 million Woot members have joined, many through your word of mouth assistance. Today and/or through next week I invite you to check back in at Woot for a virtual reunion of Charter Members on our blog.

As a token of further appreciation for your Charter Member actions and participation in this reunion, I have prepared a $10 gift coupon code that will be assigned to Charter Members who participate in the reunion forum thread by making at least 1 comment. The code can be used without any minimum required on any woot site such as a free daily shirt.woot (unless you're in Texas, then you'll have to cough up 82 cents tax) or any other single offering through the end of the year.

I think it started going downhill when they added all the different categories.

I remember spending lots of time (and money) refreshing the site during woot offs and ending the day with a lot of cool stuff for good prices. I saw one a few weeks ago and it was all just junk.

It was cool.

They'd have one closeout item for sale each day starting at midnight.  $5 shipping.

Sometimes it was a 60" LCD tv, sometimes it was some remote controlled toy helicopters.

They used to have something called the "Bag of Crap" that would have random goodies in it for 5 bucks.

Amazon bought them and it turned into a big clusterfuck.

I still find a deal every now and then.

I got a new patio umbrella for $50, then I saw the exact same thing at Costco for $160.
