General Chat

But that was my entire point. If the site is closed there won't be any other areas to look at, subs or no subs

Ah I see Allan :-) I think it's very likely that GR will fold eventually, I'm surprised it hasn't happened already really, even the FB page is neglected, all the staff that do exist seem to be FMP staff (as far as one can tell they just slide across to the GR side of the office when there is need to) and the concentration is there, where the money is made.

I think when FMP get around to making trees public, and have some matching and search system as here then GR will go.

Rose (welcome back, by the way) I am a subscriber to FMP.

If GR suddenly closes before my subscription expires, will the outstanding amount be deducted from my FMP subs? :-D :-D

I know the answer to that one ;-)

Probably not Allan ;-) but saying that they might do if you have a full membership here for records and stuff ?

Unfortunately not, Rose, just a basic membership that allows me to post etc :-)

I wonder when they fold whether they'd at least leave the trees on line for reference.

Allan, but. Personally I don't care if GR folds but while it is still in existence I shall stump up my low cost sub as it permits me to contact other members rather than leave then have to pay a lot more in the unlikely event a new tree interest should arise.
When it's gone, it's gone. There are other avenues.

I feel for those who seem to rely on chat for daily contact but again, there are other places to chat - for free.

bottom line is - is all this angst worth it? GR don't care so why are we making a money spinner for them? Perhaps I should help them on their way?

Probably, at a cost :-| :-D :-D :-D

Not that it matters but in the last few mins common sense has prevailed.

just seen your post Caroline. I highly doubt GR would leave tree on line if/when they fold the site. I moved mine offline elsewhere years ago.
I think (hope!) they would give notice to enable members to export their work.

You'd hope but I wouldn't hold your breath.

As a slow typist, I'm pleased that my efforts haven't been whooshed along with the thread, :-D

Take as long as you need...keeps the spelling correct!

Common sense is not so common :-D :-D

alas no.

For the record, the thread was about dear NS stating she and only she could run the entire country and would form a coalition Government.

I know a Rugby Song about a fish known as a Sturgeon :-0

I'm sure you do Allan :-D

Well if we look at the leaders of the SNP,
one was a Salmond and now we have a Sturgeon,
something fishy going on there.

Excuse me folks my attempt at a joke, not funny I know.

Attempts at humour will not be tolerated.
