About CPS

Columbus Private Network:

Hello, and welcome to our private (network). We have been online for just over 4 years give or take and we don’t see any plans of closing down. The whole idea behind this site (network) is to allow people the freedom to express their own opinions, thoughts, theories, short stories, recopies, ideas, events, and even the wrong they know without being persecuted.

We strive on keeping people who provide (source) information private, and have heard some interesting things.  Share with the world… We currently run our Network on a private internet connection located here in Hammond Indiana. The reason we run our own server is so we don’t have to worry about people shutting down our website… we don’t do censorship well. 

In this site you will find emails that have been sent to us, information about Columbus Indiana and surrounding areas which could be about people, places, businesses, restaurants located around our great little city.  From time to time I get questions; before click on your question to read the answer.  

Who are we? – Wow this is the best question of all, we are now a group of individuals who have a common goal to help expose the wrong we see in our city.

Why do we have a site like this? -- Well from my experiences in life along with my people skills are that people are the same with minor differences who survive everyday with information they don’t like keeping bottled up. Some get angry and just tell the stuff people don’t want known, for example are you a drug dealer… don’t make people mad!

Opinion’s about anything, anyone or anything or anyplace, or maybe they just know something is wrong and should be addressed, but they don’t know how to do it.  So this site is a place for all the information people who would like to mention the wrong, but remaining anonymous. People who work at work business either it’s an office setting or a factory or even fast food or even a landlord know of things going on that people shouldn’t be told about. 

People talking about how the owner of a business is getting ready to close the doors and cheat people out of money… or a landlord is renting homes but refusing to fix any broken furnaces, toilets, windows, or trades drugs, sex, electronics for rent money.  You may know of a business that burnt down their building and it was covered up by an office official, or the city transit system neglects the passengers because they are low-income or even disabled. Those are just a few examples of things…

This site allows you to just talk without people knowing just who you are. As you can see by some of the stories listed here, we‘re not scared to list information about anyone who is doing wrong…

I want to write about someone, something, someplace, something, how can I?Make sure you read the legal definitions and usage policy before writing about anyone, if it’s true then write till your heart’s content. If you are telling false claims about someone to be mean or discredit their name for any reason then you are committing a crime. Always tell the truth…   If you choose to read information on this site feel free but if you want to write your own stuff you can get your story on the site several ways.

When my story is published, where will it go, who will see it? When you post an article on Columbus Private Network (columbuzz) then the article will stay here as its originated home but it will be distributed across the internet several ways. The best part about our site is; it uses RSS feeds. We have certain sites that directly link our content – our facebook site will link content for our friends online.

Google indexes this site everyday so when people search for specific or wide array of topics CPS will be shown as part of that search. You article title is crucial for being indexed into Google, if we don’t think it will be, your title will be altered. We have about 150 daily visitors ranging from local to across the world, so with the stories being indexed online we don’t know just how many people will see it.

I have been written about! What do I do…? I want my name removed!!!

If you have been written about then you need to email us or call and explain your side of the story to the inaccuracies and also provide proof it is a false claim or statement. You can contact us by using the information listed above. You have my image on your site, how do I get it removed? If an image on this site has you in it or it’s an image of you that goes with a story and you want it removed then you must provide proof the photo wasn’t published or uploaded on any public site and also you need to provide proof this photo is your property. (Prior to the posted story date)

How do I prove anything when I want a story or image removed?

I don’t know how you do this, but have a little faith… we are here for the right reasons!
