It depends on how much you pay for your subscription on here Barbra. I have been a member since 2003 with automatic renewal turned on so I only pay £8.96p a year so it's worth it to me even if I only come on now and again. In the old days I used to be on the boards from early morning until at least teatime when hubby came home from work. He's retired now so I don't have as much time and am not really doing any research for myself anymore but at the subscription I pay I don't think I will be leaving unless they up the charges more than a bit. |

There is nothing in the way of community boards on Ay. There is quite a lot of messaging between people with shared private trees for the most part tightly focussed on f.h. and local / military history. I have met some great people that way. |

My subs are still low and I have no intention of leaving. I still find lovely people to chat to and interesting subjects as well, occasionally people 'call' in who are members and who don't post and it is like meeting old friends, like Joan I would really miss it, even though I catch up with some on Facebook. |

I joined in 2003 and still have cheap membership. I also have ancestry and FMP but while GR is cheap I'll stay a member. I've still made more connections via GR than any other site but not for some time now. |

But you said people said they were leaving because of slow threads, Barbra. I wondered which people. |

I joined in 2005 and think it is really value for money and will be forever grateful for the hot matches I got in the early years which got me back on the maternal side to the late 17th century.which is pretty hard on maternal side with surname changes. |

Agree with the Ancestry comments...the trouble is as the adverts suggest they give you so many hints and suggestions but people take them as gospel .... I gave up explaining to one woman that her facts about my immediate family were wrong, she kept saying but Ancestry tell me it's this.....it's a good site if you're ready to double check everything. |
