I think the so-called RRer is not a single person - maybe some people just got a tad sick of some comments etc

Some of the people mentioned have actually been gone a loooong time - some of them for good reason.

A site such as this is, of course, going to diminish in popularity - look what it is up against.

Hi Barbra,

I don't post like I used to when I first joined, first it got a bit horrible with a troll, then the RRer, I used to enjoy the banter but now stick to just a couple of threads.

I have just renewed so maybe will pop in a bit more while doing the tree

I'm not on FB either, my two said they would not be my "face book friend" Little do they know that by being "friends" with my real friends I still get to find things out :-D :-D :-D :-D

Off now to rustle up some pancakes from the nice shiny wrapper they are in ;-)

Thanks for your concern everybody.

I am alive and well and trying to get around all the upheaval of a new kitchen as well as solar panels and storage heaters with a new hot water system that fills my bathroom taps with bits of solder every time I have a bath.

The freezers have finally gone from the front room but I do still have a book- shelf and filing cabinet in the bathroom (as you do!).

Threads like this have been going up regularly for quite a long time, so members must have been 'leaving'

Personally, I just lost interest. I don't think the GR team treat members very well either.

High view counts with low or no posts must put some people off from starting new threads. It certainly put me off.

I keep my membership going because of the community boards.

I like the chat with all you lovely people <3

It's been a looooong time since I've made contact with anyone about family tree.

:-D

I stay because it would be stupid of me to let my membership lapse. I nearly did a couple of years ago and I would have missed the community.

Claire welcome back ;-)

I do hope Sharron is okay, I filter in and out these days that often I don´t realise what is going on.
I agree that a lot are on FB but that isn´t the same as here. The community here is different, I have to say the RR person has a lot to answer for the walk outs which is a shame because it gives them a grin :-S

Hold in there folks GR will be like fashion it will be back "in" someday
:-D :-D <3 :-P

It's like everything else Barbra sometimes I get fed up
and bored doing the same old same old every day.
So I start doing something else and just pop in for a
chat.
Winter is my worst time as I don't get out much and cabin fever strikes.
