Just in case anyone else is having problems viewing the FanPosts
(for whatever reason they are not loading on the right side of my page)
Click the FanPost tab at the front of the page, and when the list comes up, click “Recently Posted.” The list will populate to show you all of the recent posts. There’s a whole lot of
panderinggreat fans going on!section214 - February 8, 2012
Is it just me or is at the SB sites been really buggy lately with loading up slow, and having to manually refresh them alot
Widowwolf - February 8, 2012
It's Tyreke's fault
section214 - February 8, 2012
I routinely get errors
about the page not loading because the server didn’t send a response. hammering refresh will usually get past it after a few tries.

Yes, yes and yes

Suffered some DDOS attacks last week
That’s caused some residual issues, but our tech team is top-notch and things should be getting back to normal soon.

Anonymous didn't care for your Petrie bashing!

Word
DDoS been messing with my worklife. I was pretty surprised at the intelligence of this last attack, just a variety of packet types and address lists and TCP connections. The majority based in China, but it seemed like they had a strong botnet throughout the states coordinating on attack vectors. Pretty crazy, they’d open up on one IP and start going after the whole subnet.

Hey Ziller
by chance SBNation looking for an extra someone on their team?
iashwash - February 8, 2012
They are hiring a few positions

Early returns suggest
that “herewestayandrise” has a helluva superpac.
section214 - February 8, 2012
I don't mean to sound like brat or anything right now.....
I’m hearing from people that I know that are voting for me and they said that they have voted already and my numbers aren’t changing. This is weird.
baykine - February 8, 2012
I'm not positive on this
But the issues the site was having earlier today might have something to do with this.
Aykis16 - February 8, 2012
I saw my vote kick in
wallywagon11 - February 8, 2012
if you know their usernames
click on their username profile and unless they have been super duper active today it should still show up on their timeline
wallywagon11 - February 8, 2012
Site issues could have been the issue.
Things are back up now, so feel free to let them know they can try again.
Tom Ziller - February 8, 2012
I'm surprised I've gotten votes
I thought this was going to be one of those things that regulars excelled at.
Thanks for giving a bump to the lurker :)
Schneezel - February 8, 2012
Heck, this seems like a great time to stop being a lurker and become a regular!
lead_pipe - February 8, 2012
Just want to say
I had a tough time voting. I enjoyed reading every one of the entries.
Exhibit G - February 8, 2012
Same here
I’m down to 4 choices, but it was hard getting to this point.
SharkKings49 - February 8, 2012
Agreed
Lot of good choices.
Aykis16 - February 8, 2012
Lot's of great choices. Well done everyone.
SPTSJUNKIE - February 8, 2012
Great job everyone
Really tough to pick one
edm7 - February 8, 2012
As much as I want to go to this game and win this contest.......
It seems like I’m not going to win. Had a good time typing up the FanPost but it seems the earlier problems might have done me in. I don’t know if I would have had the almost 100 votes that herewestayandrise has to stay in but no matter what I don’t want to come up with any excuses. If I had problems in the beginning then all of the contestants had problems in the beginning so it’s not much of an excuse either way. Congrats to who ever wins and have fun at the game. Who ever wins truly deserves it.
GO KINGS!
baykine - February 8, 2012
This is harder than I thought it would be!
I’ve honestly been sitting here for the past fifteen minutes re-reading the posts and trying to make a decision.
ina_118 - February 8, 2012
Well it looks like I'm taking home the bronze.
I’m pretty happy with the outcome, I guess. I really wanted to go to this game and do my little part to help the Kings stay, but I know that whether its Ash_Ketchup or herewestayandrise we’ll have a great fan at Power Balance Pavilion on Thursday.
I received generally positive feedback with my fanshot, and now I think I’ll be more regular here, although I may make a new account to start “fresh”. I have another fanshot in mind that isn’t necessarily Kings related, but it involves me meeting and practicing with an NBA squad that was preparing to face the Kings. (Hint it wasn’t the Lakers)
Schneezel - February 8, 2012
Made my new account
It is called Webber of lies, pretty much just a pun combined with my favorite basketball player ever.
Schneezel - February 8, 2012
Welcome aboard, looking forward to more posts from you in the future.
Aykis16 - February 8, 2012
Congrats ASH_KETCHUP!!!
Congrats on the win!!! Represent us loud and proud. All of the entries were great and I wish we all could go! Let the HEREWESTAY movement keep on rolling along!!!!!!
