I just checked their site and read that they were down for the most part yesterday and they think it was people behind Idol who shut them down. WTF? Seriously now…Here’s their post:

As many people have noticed, VFTW was down for a good portion of the day yesterday. The site started having problems Tuesday due to an increased flow of traffic, but then Wednesday the site went down because of an attack. Someone was obviously threatened enough by the site’s freedom of speech that they wanted to try to shut us down. Of course it didn’t work, and we’re back for now. Who would have done such a thing? Could it have been the people behind Idol? We’re not sure, but anything is possible. Remember, even if the site is down, keep voting for Sanjaya every week, because we’re doing an awesome job and we saved him AGAIN this week. We’re like the little engine that could! Also, you can text VFTW to 27563 to get cell phone updates in case of situations like these as well.

Now their post about Sanjaya:

TMZ.com is reporting that a source close to Sanjaya’s family says that those of us at Votefortheworst.com are “jerks” and their message to VFTW is: “Thanks guys, but he doesn’t need your votes.” On the contrary, we think this report is fishy. First of all, a source “close to the family” means it’s not actually his family. We think Sanjaya is smart enough to know any press is good press. And secondly, Sanjaya has been embracing his VFTW-ness recently with fun performances, crazier hairstyles, and more sass. We think Sanjaya’s in on the fun. So to the Malakar family: feel free to contact us, we love Sanjaya and we would love to see him win. The true haters are the people out there who bash him and say he sucks. Wrong. Sanjaya is the best thing to happen to American Idol in years, and we’d love to chat with the Malakars because we love them so much! Shyamali, Momjaya, and anyone else, you can contact us here.

I think all the attention he’s getting from Howard Stern (who obviously is much bigger than VTW) is what is helping Sanjaya’s votes along with all the Crying Ashleys…heh heh. Poor Starving My Space girl..like I said before…she’s going to end up like Nicole Richie.
