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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm not positive on this

But the issues the site was having earlier today might have something to do with this.

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

by wallywagon11 on Feb 8, 2012 11:48 AM PST up reply actions  

Site issues could have been the issue.

Things are back up now, so feel free to let them know they can try again.

by Tom Ziller on Feb 8, 2012 12:31 PM PST up reply actions  

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 :)

Just want to say

I had a tough time voting. I enjoyed reading every one of the entries.

Never forget, I'm a complete idiot.

Same here

I’m down to 4 choices, but it was hard getting to this point.

Lot of good choices.

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!

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.

by ina_118 on Feb 8, 2012 4:47 PM PST reply actions  

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)

Made my new account

It is called Webber of lies, pretty much just a pun combined with my favorite basketball player ever.

The thing about camping is... Its intense.

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!!!!!!
