The GR boards have been sliding down the pan for years. |

Talking about the number of views versus the number of posts, It did occur to me that a lot of the viewers not posting could be paid members who venture away from their usual boards - Military, find ancestors etc. |

I have only ever used this board apart from about two ventures on to other boards. |

I questioned GR about something over on FB a few weeks ago, and was told that they were "doing a study as to where GR should be going" |

Luckily other GR members explained my problem for me although it still remains until support sort it out. |

Genes certainly started losing members and going slower right back when facebook first came on the scene. I do feel there is a place for both though. I use facebook as it keeps me in touch with family. However some people are not comfortable with it and sometimes I get aggravated with it too when all you see are photos, 'feel good' posters and quizzes. I will stay on Genes to keep in contact with those who have no wish to go on facebook. :-) :-) |

I wouldn't single anyone out as a 'character' Young Master Piers ;-) it's horses for courses really and I believe everyone has value. |

The boards should be free - GRU are mistaken in requiring a sub. to post. Although old fashioned the board msg format is very much alive and kicking eg pistonheads most of whose members are not crinklies. |

Same here Ann. I have friends on here who I have been in contact with from the start of me joining. I am afraid I have no time whatsoever for FB for personal reasons. |

It would help if the view count was only of full members, the way it is done we don't know how many of the views are by people who can't reply. I think it is done so they can say 'look at us we get lots of people reading the threads'. But I shall continue to come on here as long as it survives because I have people here who I consider friends. :-) :-) |
