Hey all,

Does anyone here know what happened to RDN?

Whenever I try to look for a bookmarked thread, I get a database error.

I know there are some members here who are members of both, figured someone might know.

Thanks, eh?

Yeah....I have been trying for a while to access it and get the database error. I'm assuming that it's gone which is a shame. I've been a member there since 2000. :eek:
I've been a long time member there also, known as Obelix .Sad the site is gone but I hope to meet some of the members here too.:confused:I believe that since the old grumpy bear left Rottweiler Central (agaist his will )some of the old time members left too.Seems since they lost their friend, their commitment with the site left also with him .

I know a lot of people also left because of that grumpy old bear too. I wonder if people will end up coming here eventually. I hope so... :)
I left RDN and came here years ago. It became too much to handle. I was MarthaG. Then I was here for awhile under Marthagier.

I am hoping quite a few of the RDN members will find their way over here if it is gone for good! Good to see some familiar names starting to show up! Rusty was raised on all the good info from that forum :)

Glad to see you back, Martha :)
I am stale, and have always been stale. :) I was part of RDN since 2002 or so, and still view it as the most complete set of information sources for dog owners I've ever encountered, anywhere.

It's a pity the site is down, but since Roscoe died, it looks like nobody was on top of paying the bills.

I wonder if any of the cross-members have copies of the stickied posts, things like training "watch me", the lists of who makes which brands of dog food, how to vet your vets and breeders - you know, important information?

They seem to be missing here, and there are no other large sites I've found that house that information either.

It never occurred to me that I'd need a separate copy, since an online resource need never disappear.

later, eh?

Another cross-member here, but spent the majority of my time on RDN (member there since 2004, mjfish on both sites). I'm sad to see it go, if it is truly down for good. :( I agree stale, the most complete set of information sources to be had was there! I have not saved any stickies or any posts really...I had links saved which of course no longer work. I hope more members migrate over here!
I was a member of RDN for many years as well under the name Dottie Boo Boo. I felt the information was wonderful despite the difficulties with the webmaster.

The only problem I seem to have with this forum is my inability to use it from my iPad does anybody have any ideas on that I can not post any replies or new threads off of my iPad

Glad to see you here,, Laura! How is Miss Schatzi?
Glad to see some members from rott.net here . We have been trying to get things going again...not sure if it will be a forum? or just the threads to be able to read as an educational blog? The bills were paid...the problem was after Roscoe died, the forums were handed to Major. Major got seriously ill in the early Spring. He was still able to keep things going, and then there was a big problem and the forums went down....with no one else to take over...things have stayed down. I'm friends with some of the members on Facebook...and we are trying.

Thanks for letting us know what happened. I'm really sorry to hear that Major had been seriously ill...I hope he's going to be okay.

A blog would be a great idea. And what about bringing the wonderful info here and telling people to come here instead of trying to rebuild the old forum? That may be the easiest solution for those who are tying to get things back up.

I agree completely. I do hope Major will be ok. If the information could be brought here that would be wonderful!!

Yes, it would be great to have access to all that information again. It was so helpful when Rusty was a puppy and I still learned things from those "stickies" with our big grown-up dogs :)

I do not want to hijack the post but little Miss Schazti is so awesome!!! Love her to pieces <3
I too was a member of both forums, I thought it was a problem with my server or something, when it kept blocking me out. sad to see its gone, the good thing is Rottweilers online is still going strong.
