The Reckoner hath spoke, and yay, all shall heed the call. Six shirts fall before his axe, never to rise. Let ye you dared not speak out now take this time to make thine amends. Purchase, brethren, lest their memories fade like so much over-washed t-shirt ink!

If a shirt falls in the reckoning, and numbers aren't around to calculate DSR, does it still rate a statistic?

If they can't get a bot to post in the correct thread, will they ever give us numbers?

It seems the updates now warrant their own thread, complete with a link to it in the parent thread. I don't see how this is more efficient, but then I'm not a wootbot. :p

Unfortunately, those of us who like nice t-shirts we can wear out that don't have ridiculous baby-like cartoons (laughable artwork) on them will never win out. It's sad to see that some t-shirts ("Koi", "Blossoms", etc.) are gone forever - & unfortunately before I even knew Woot existed. Sort of says a lot about current mentality - lol!!!

I know why you say what you mean, and I sympathize with your issue of being 'late to the party' as it were. But really this has been hashed to death: if you like designs like that, vote for them, find your firends who like them and get them to vote for them. Buy them, find your friends who like them and get them to buy them. We'll see more 'artsy' shirts in the next 2 weeks or so, if the pattern holds. This would have been an artsy week, but the current derby is disappoint.

It does seem like an all around mess with the new wreckoning. Information, if available, spread out instead of nicely grouped. I do hope they get the wrinkles worked out soon. Or is this the new tradition?

This is SOP for a Backend Change with a new Script Language Front end that didn't do sufficent testing. I don't like the opacity of the process, but I won't actually be worried it's permanent, or semi-permenant, until we're at teh 30 day more.

The thing is, I know they didn't THINK about it, because they have pretty pictures for the things they kept, but not our Numbers, which means who ever was really behind the design didn't think our Numbers mattered. They thought First Wooter was a bigger deal than "what have I made?" It shows that end of the day Shirt Woot isn't in consideration, but being one of seven ( or more) sites in the tree, and probably not the most profitable, again I'm not surprised.
