Oh facebook is great for keeping in touch with family and friends who live away from us. I don't play games on there and sometimes the language is offensive to me on some posts, but I can skim over what I don't like. |

They are paying to advertise on Mumsnet so I don't think they'd be doing that if closure was imminent. |

13 million? |

That would be 13 million registrations Inky, not individual members. I reckon a third at least could be knocked off that figure |

If they had 14 million paying members then there wouldn't be any talk of the site closing. As it is there is probably very little to refund and a discount for FMP membership (or extension for existing members of FMP) would be more likely than a refund.. |

Most of the members are actually Free members .............. GR began as a free site on which to build your family tree. There weren't even any Boards at the very beginning. |
