It is believed that GR are looking at ways to 'manage the boards in the future'. There is certainly a lack of input from them lately ( understatement) . Even the announcement board is dormant, a couple of book club posts in May and June, the new community manager announcement and a 'photo of the month' in March. |

I originally joined the site years ago to get some help with a look up. Since then I enjoyed helping others as my knowledge grew and chatting to new found cyber friends. |

I would be happy to see it revert to what it was originally, All the boards (although there are more of those now), a free tree and the ability to update it and search trees, no records. And maybe the presence of a few staff who are really interested in the members. (As they used to be). |

The first sentence has been posted on face book and, I think, by the Community Manager. |

I won't answer until they address us on here. We pay to be on here how dare they put it to a free site first. We pay their wages by our subscriptions so they should take care of us first as if we all leave they'll be up the creak without a paddle. |

Pat they haven't asked on FB, they (GR) haven't asked at all, it was my question just based on a few comments here and there and on the obvious lack of any presence on the board and any resolution to the ongoing problems that have been reported, eg the advanced search not working for months on end. :-) |

namelessone, I am not certain whether the comment I saw about how to manage the boards was on Facebook or on here .... but if it is any consolation, other than the odd photo, GR staff don't seem to be doing anything on FB either :-D |

My personal opinion is the boards should go back to 2003/4 when Steve had the site. |

Joy,no they don't but as we pay the wages you would think they would actually come on the site and let us all have an inkling of what is going to happen. |
