Natalie, thank you so much for opening your forum to us and all our Cushpups. After all the help and support that you have given us through the years at cc.net, it feels really special to now be "logging in" here as part of your family.

Thank you especially for providing this venue and this opportunity as we await the return of cc.net!

Marianne - I hope cc.net returns without problems. When servers go down, it is NO FUN. Same for personal computers! - but with a forum like yours, it's just awful to lose it, even for a day.

Best of luck with getting cc.net back. And I add my thanks to Natalie, bacause although I don't have a cushpup, some of my very dear friends have.

P.S. You look hysterically funny to me as a "Junior Member" here! HAHAHA! (Comes from being away from home, I guess!)

Natalie,

As everyone has already said, thanks for letting cc.net borrow your forum. I hope the site is up and running again soon, I belong to another forum that was once shut down for six months, hope its not that long!

There must be lots of members that won't know to come here and must be wondering what to do especially if they need help at this time. Its a pity there can't be a link here from Google etc!

Thanks again,
Linda and Spicey

Here's a crazy idea:

Could we take out a Google add to redirect members here when they click on the CC.net link and get that screen? (I don't know how much Google adds cost though.)

I just want to chime in with everyone else and offer my "Thanks" too. Your kindness is truly appreciated.

Carol, don't worry -- with as big a "mouth" as I've got, I'll be advancing to Senior Member in no time!

ALISON!!!!! Let's check it out!!!! Also can we set up any types of web pages that could be found via google, msn, yahoo, and any other search engines? As you know, I am a techno idiot, but I will do all I can to help find folks.

So glad to see you again!

Big hugs,
Leslie and the girls

The reason I think that buying a Google Ad and putting up on the "old" CC.net site (and maybe Google itself too) could be good at this point is that it takes time for the Google spiders etc. to work their way through sites and also how far up Google places a site on its rankings (how close to the top of the first page) depends on how many hits the site has had - it would take a while for a new site to work it's way up from what I understand.

Buying a Google Ad would fast track things and, if the ad was put up on "old" site it would allow us to take advantage of the ranking of the old site in the short term. It will be around now that people will be clicking on the old website trying to get through.

Another idea: We could contact Kate Connick and ask if we can put up a link at her site sending people to K9D. It won't pick up our members necessarily but it will bring new people (who ordinarily would have found CC.net) here.
