....is there a plan in place to drive traffic back to the site when it comes up?[/b]

The #1 priority right now is trying to actually get the site back up and running, and they&#39;re trying to do so without losing any data so that everyone doesn&#39;t have to start over again at ground zero.....I&#39;m sure when the site does get back up and running there will be an announcement here (which is why it&#39;s a good thing to check here often so that you&#39;ll know when the site is back up)......I agree that 12 days is an eternity in cyberspace time.....Right now all we can do is continue to be patient and keep our fingers crossed that the system will be able to get back up within the next couple of days.....In the meantime, let&#39;s just try to enjoy what we have here and make the best of it.....

I understand that is the #1 priority....I&#39;m just saying unless they do some "demand creation" for the original site once it is up and running, the site will be weak for sometime....

Maybe ck1942 & the boys could apply for some stimulus package funds?

Well, we&#39;re expecting to have a much stronger ASPD when we get it back up with better features and functions (at least that&#39;s what we&#39;re gearing towards and that&#39;s what I&#39;ve been told).....The extensive downtime is primarily due to the new security software (designed to make it harder for someone to hack the system again) and also it&#39;s a helluva task to try to recover the data so that it doesn&#39;t get lost into cyberspace.....If we can&#39;t recover the lost data, then everyone will be starting over at ground zero......Just not certain when but we&#39;re still expecting a complete recovery and a stronger ASPD when it does.....

And any stimulus package funds has got to include something for good ole BIG C or it&#39;s not a valid package
