We put up a great fight, but just couldn’t compete with a blog that gets 85% more traffic!! Thank you all for your support guys, I really appreciate what you all did for me!!

One good thing that has come out of this is all of the new visitors: As I am writing this, my FeedBurner plugin is reporting that there were 83 readers of my RSS feed - That’s a new record for this site!! 
Stick around guys, there are some great Windows tips and hacks coming from myself, Derek and the AngryNetworker!
Not to brag, but I want to update you all on some site stats:
- Unique Visits for March: 49,105
- Technorati rank: 24,925
- Alexa rank: 162,593
- PageRank: 3
All of the stats are steadily increasing - except for my PageRank! Help a brother out and link to some articles that you like!! 
Really well done for getting so far!
you definitely put up a good fight! i was rooting for you!!
Thanks Danielle, I really appreciate all of the support!
Great Effort Saman! You know you’ll take them easy next year!
You are so funny; you realize you lost by 25 votes out of a small pool. Anyways, new reader, hate the Disney Previews, like the honesty in your site. Smile! –Clau
Thanks Clau! Stick around, there is a lot of goodness coming your way!
dude, I like the little icons you get about the commentator, country, windows, etc, how did you get that?
For the MyBLogLog images, read this post. For the commentator’s stats, you need the Firestats plugin.
Damn. Well you win some you lose some.
Good run. When I voted for you it was 28 You, 29 Kineda. Thought you may have done a bit better :(.
I feel your pain man (after all you’re the one that caused it
). Just kidding. Good luck with your newfound traffic, and keep up the good work.
We put up a good fight!
There are still other arenas to conquer!
If only the let me vote more than once
I didn’t like the other site as it was tagged as port by our proxy. I am sure someone will be in to ask why I was looking at porn at work!
Does this mean we’ll get more of the Japanese video clips again?
More screencasts!
Yehey!
Yep, there is a ton of content coming so stay tuned!
That’s a shame Saman.
Oh, by the way…I think the reason why your Page Rank isn’t moving is because it’s only updated quarterly. Expect it to go up at the end of April!
ahh…I didn’t know that it was updated quarterly…that is good to know…I was getting worried on how my other ranks were increasing and my page rank was not…haha..
Sorry to hear that you are out of the tournament, but good job in the previous rounds!! I have been so busy in school I haven’t been able to keep track of what is going on in the blogging world over the last few weeks!!
Also, good job on the increased rankings!! always and inspiration to other growing blogs!!
Well who could beat a Porn site anyway?
Your site was the better one, whether it was voted that way or not. I’m not sure I would even qualify the other site as a true blogging site.
And just think … you can always take a little bit of pleasure from the fact that Kineda is getting spanked in the next round (while being somewhat thankful that it’s not you … after all, if Gizmodo posts to vote for them, it’s going to be a landslide).
They have been! I think they had almost 200 votes in the last round!
I knew I would loose to a bigger site eventually - I just wanted to go farther!
Well of course you did. But don’t worry, sit back, grab the popcorn, and watch Kineda get destroyed in this round.
Yep, I think Gizmodo is going to take this!
Congratulations! I’ve seen your face in the Chow comments enough to remember you for a while. haha
