The REAL 64,000 question
Sun, 11/15/2009 - 21:21 — VF21
Just how does one go about getting 64,000 posts on a message board?
That's the question I hear - and have heard - for quite a while. So, as the odometer turns over to the magical 64,000, I thought I'd take this occasion to - what else - make a few comments.
First of all, I want to make it clear. I do not look upon this as a great achievement or proof in any way of anything other than that I apparently have a lot to say and lots of time within which to say it. And thanks to Jeremy, our board owner, I have an opportunity to do so.
The Sacramento Kings are my passion. The game of basketball has fascinated me since the 60s. Not having a local team to root for, I was a fan for a very long time of the Boston Celtics. The day it was announced, however, that the Kings would be coming to Sacramento my life changed forever.
I've been a Kings fan from day one. I've loved this team when they've been horrid and I've watched as they took my breath away when they were good, very, very, good. I've agonized when they were mediocre, as I personally think that's the worst fate of all. Throughout it all, one fact has remained constant - I am a Kings fan.
Our current assemblage of players is at the beginning of their journey, and they're letting us come along for the ride. And if the early games are any indication, this is gonna be a ride we'll enjoy every step of the way.
Almost as much the Kings, I love Kingsfans.com I love the variety of members who come here to post, and I love the spirited debate on everything from the future of a particular player to which shoe is best...and all the great stuff we find to talk about during TDOS. This is, in fact, an Internet community of the very best kind.
One of the things I like most about this board is it keeps me on my toes, or sometimes stumbling over them. There are all kinds of fans here - passionate fans, analytical fans, critical fans, gushing fans, occasional fans, diehard fans, old fans, new fans, fans who stop by once in a while and those who are here just about every single day. We may agree - or not - but it's the discussion and the interaction that keeps most people returning. This is a very special place for Kings fans.
Another thing that really warms my heart is the family tradition a lot of us have about being Kings fans. There are a good number of our members whose children are also Kings fans. It's that kind of devotion that makes being a fan of the Sacramento Kings so special.
This is a good time to be a Kings fan. And I thank each and every one of you for helping to contribute to the betterment of the board and allowing me to continue to talk about the team I love.
Once, now and forever - I LOVE THIS TEAM!

Go ahead. Try it for three games in a row. I'll be waiting to see how you do.

Just setting the record straight...

Congrats VF21, at one point didn't everybody's post count get reset because of a crash as well? Even more impressive.
