Anybody still a black triangle?
5Visited good old deals.woot this morning to check up on my leaderboard status, and I have finally dropped below 90%.
I'm still sitting at 86.42% with no activity within the last year (or maybe longer). My 'activity' meter is still maxed out though. Hm.
Does anyone stay active over yonder?

Yep. Sad.
Huh?
I have a red triangle and I doubt I've posted more that 5 deals. Don't trust the triangles.
I love purple.
Yep. I am at #11 with 99.74%. I still go there several times a day looking for conversations and I post a deal every couple of weeks, but there's not much there.
Yes, I am still at 94%, and haven't posted in over a year. I do check things out every few days, though.
I'm inexplicably still at 91%. I was never very active and only made it into the black because everyone else was leaving. Looks like my last activity was 11 months ago so maybe I'll be purple in another month.
@Subbota I love purple.
I'm at 98% and haven't had any activity for several months.
I'm at uh... at a level where I could not possibly care less about deals.woot anymore.
@Cinoclav Thank you for using the correct "care less" phrase. Give yourself a star.
@Pamtha One of my personal pet peeves... Along with "a matter of life and death." There's no gray area in there, it's "life OR death" damnit!
@Cinoclav Around here people like to say "Same difference". It took me a long time to warm to it, for a long time I would tell people it didn't make sese. But there are contexts in which it does.
@moondrake I've used that myself. To me it falls into the same thought as, "six of one - half a dozen of the other."
I love purple.
@Cinoclav "I could care less" is perfectly acceptable sarcasm. No need to be hating on it.
@Barney Impressive catch.
@editorkid No. Just no.
@Cinoclav
@editorkid No. Sarcasm is not a suitable substitute for proper wording of the phrase. Don't make us hunt you down and tear that 'editor' from your name.
@Cinoclav You're usually right. Not here! This is the proper wording for a sarcastic use of the phrase.
@editorkid Thank you for the compliment, it's very much appreciated. However, I still have an issue with the phrase primarily as it was not written as sarcasm. It was very much a literal expression stating that I truly could not care less about deals.woot. I honestly do not believe I've ever used that particular phrase, be it written or spoken, with any sarcastic intent. Which is saying a lot for me, as I'm one sarcastic bastard.
@Cinoclav
@editorkid I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy.
Yep..... Im still at 95.67%
Weird, looks like last activity was approx 8 months ago. I still visit woot daily, but not too much in the deals section.
I was never a black triangle, but I did spend a week once as a plaid dodecahedron. What can I say, I was young and foolish.
@parodymandotcom I have a book for you: http://smile.amazon.com/Dot-Line-Romance-Lower-Mathematics/dp/1587170663/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 Or maybe you would prefer the movie:
@parodymandotcom plaid? That's ludicrus
@Headly Only when I speed.
98.64%, no new questions and only 1 deal posted in the past 16 months.
Yep. It's ridiculous, since I might participate there a couple times a year.
Wait so deals.woot is a slickdeals clone?
White triangle, since 2008. Thaaaaaaanks.
I love purple.
I was the original black triangle.
@JerseyFrank true story
Were there ever prizes or bonuses for being a black triangle, or was it just a status symbol?
@dashcloud Yes. Like two years ago they had a series of prizes based off a wide variety of things, one was based on the color of triangle.
@dashcloud There was also the /q/ section for black-triangles with some beta features as well as some special deals that were for the /q/ crowd only. Of course, that stuff hasn't been updated in YEARS.
@dashcloud There was a running joke that there was a secret clubhouse and a private jet. Back when there was a running anything over there.
I'm still a black triangle. Things have gotten bad over there...made a comment on a possible exchange thread...immediately ostracized. Granted there was some snark, but people just became assholes. It's like a little click of pissed off people with nothing better to do. No humor, no fun, just shit now. Glad I left...
I am about as close to being a black triangle without being a black triangle as possible (89.77%). Right now I am a barney-coloured triangle.
Purple.
I'm in 212th place at 94.59%
Yep 93% weirdly and I know I haven't posted on deals in well over a year at the very least.
98.72% Ranked 51.
I am no longer the 1%.
Fun stats.
Last 3 times I added a deal

Last 3 times I voted against something.

@caffeine_dude I liked your facts so much I decided to add my own...Last deal added...one year ago (Deal Hunter Competition)--lost all incentive after that. Last deal comment and deal up vote...6 months ago (First Meh Product Posting). Last down vote...10 months ago. Fun times like 2 years ago...now its just a sad husk of a place filled with the shades of past success.
Sitting at #23 with a 99.44%. Have not be active on a daily basis for quite a while. I stop by every week or so to check out the forums.
I should note they are the last ones that were not deleted.
Fucking admins deleting shit for no reason.

I was a late arrival over there and actively posted a fair number of deals during the past year. However, I've ignored it for over a month due to:
1) Spam Spam Spam.
2) The almost complete (intentional?) neglect over quality control.
3) Nasty trolls. (Everybody has a bad day but some folks there were stuck on that day.)
At 97.28%, I guess that's a black triangle. It was very easy to pop into the top 3-5 by simply posting a question. I occasionally scan the daily email, but no longer go to the site.
@moondrake, you are a bright shiny spot over there and peeled the trolls off me more than once! (My ID over there is a very close variation of this one - I don't like linking web stuff together too transparently.)
@RedOak Thanks for the kind words, you just made my day. :)
@moondrake I don't do 'fluff' - your friendly, constructive manner is a win for any site where you post.
