Strictly for the Readers...

PrintWith the Raptors' next game not until Friday night, Franchise takes a moment to get away from the Bosh rumours and Indiana fall-out to thank the readers for a great 2009.
The numbers are in.
One of the key reasons we here at the HQ made the jump to SB Nation back in the summer of 2009, was because we felt that the new template and format would give readers an even better forum for their thoughts on our beloved Raptors.
Well, with 2009 coming to a close recently, the SB Nation team shot out each blog in the network's numbers on various levels and we here at the HQ thought it would be interesting to share them with the readers, especially since many of the numbers are directly related to the things you do on the site each and every day. Our readers have always made the site what it is so again a big thanks for a great 2009. And with a quick glance at the following stats, we're sure that 2010 is going to be even bigger and better!
And here we go...

As well, it's that time of the month again.
The HQ is looking to attend one of the Raps final four home games of the season via press access and want your input as to which one we should attend. You can vote below in the poll, and fire away in the comments section with any particular queries you want us to lob at coaches or players.

Congrats on the stats boys – I remember when there were only 1 or 2 comments per post at your first site. It’s awesome to see the success of this blog.
Any idea of page views / traffic for the site – or is that a trade secret? ;)
Hopefully this site is able to provide a little extra income each month cause it is obvious you guys pour your hearts into it.
Props.
Props to Utes
For those who are newer readers, “Utes” ran the original blog network, fan.ca, that we were on back in 2005, and was the launch point for all of this – little did we know what we were getting into at the time eh?
As for stats, if you scroll all the way down on the home page, on the lower right corner there’s a “sitemeter” icon and it should have all our metrics!

Enjoy the site
I don’t post many comments, but I enjoy the Raptors coverage on this site and I appreciate reading the comments from people who take the time to make them. Keep up the good work Raptors HQ!
I voted for the Heat game. That has the most story lines to it (IMHO) and the last time I saw the Raptors and Heat play at the ACC, last season, Toronto kicked ass. Hoping for more of the same this time around.
Thanks!
I voted Heat too.
Like you, think it has the most storylines, especially because it’s very likely that this is the team that will be Toronto’s biggest foe in terms of playoff seeding…
…not to mention the continued Bosh-Wade playing together saga…

Pacers v. Suns
So, Pacers came back from 24 down to beat the Suns last night. To me that takes a little of the edge off the Monday debacle. Not much, but a little.
