DebDoesWW can you message them? I noticed that peggster found us after signing up there. Or, leave them and see if they find us. I'm not going back over there. It's like a black hole and it might suck me back in!

linda72 I just don't understand why they sign up there instead of just following link here?! I also don't get why this one isn't popping up on Google. Hm.

Thanks linda72, we didn't do any of that for the other site though... very odd. |

Here is a link for getting your website to show on a Google search. It is actually a Google page so it's not some fly by night "help" page. Looks like the Webmaster must be the one to go through the hoops. Don't know if it will help, but thought I'd throw that out there. Lisa support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6259634?hl=en |

Thanks lisasche! That is the same one Linda linked to above  I appreciate the help guys, just don't understand why the old one is popping up since itsrad and I didn't do any of that and we know the old admin never did a thing. I just want people who go searching for "weight watchers message boards" to be able to find us is all. I know at New Years we used to get a ton of old regulars. |

Deb, can you ask the original owner to now delete that board entirely? Perhaps that will help get this one at the top of the search list?

surfgirl actually I think that would be worse, then there would be no way for people to find us that are looking for the old WWMB's.

We left several hundred people behind. Most of them weren't active, and may never go back, but the longer the old board stays up with the "moving' message, the more likely some folks are to find us.
You also need to remember that we have absolutely no clue what that admin is planning to do with the board. She wouldn't answer a direct question about it - she may delete it, change the subject, make it private, or just leave it there and cackle when she looks at it.

itsrad I thought it was interesting last month when you mentioned on the GDT board that we were moving and many of them were shocked there was another board for them to go.

itsrad I thought it was interesting last month when you mentioned on the GDT board that we were moving and many of them were shocked there was another board for them to go. Many of the folks on the GDT board were only on the GDT board. We didn't advertise the link to "our" new board over there because they had already created their new ProBoard. There is a also Canadian GDT board, a CAM board, a 200 to Lose board. Some are closed boards. I know some boards moved over to MFP. |

I'm very sorry for the drama, but am very grateful to Rad and Deb for what they have done for us. I'm back on track now and feel it's because I've made a comitment to check this board every single day. It's better than my meetings and is really my support group.
Thank you!
