There was a number of people who were the life blood of this site and they seem to be disappearing. It is a great shame. Dont forget that GR team are also members, so one of them could be the person who objects to anything. I used to so look forward to coming on here as soon as I got up in the morning to see the funny threads or replies to my queries but now...................

Hi All couldn't have said it better myself, totally agree with all the above comments, i know where most of the old members have gone who used to do loads of look ups, but lately its getting much worse. shame really. but i have the best of both worlds, LOL. :-)

I replied to GR's answer to me about why my humorous thread was deleted and am awaiting a reply. I am not bothered that it was removed because it wasn't an genealogical tip, but I am bothered that a) they didn't tell me they were going to remove it and b) that it was removed because 'a member' complained. So what they are saying is that you can post anything you like, it will only be removed if 'a member' bothers to e-mail them. So it is just down to 'a member' rather than the GR team as to what is or is not allowed. I said this was extremely arbitrary and that my post about this 'Hacked off' had 42 replies - I think it is now over 60, which shows that there's a point to it. After all if I put a thread up which was completely irrelevant, no one would reply and it would just drop off the board. The boards are here for everybody. I am concerned that people are too scared to post anything now, and that lots of threads which have info in the responses are disappearing and the information is being lost. nell

I had to put in the word 'genealogical' so this isnt whipped off immediately. Isnt it sad! I am so grateful to all the regulars who helped me SO much when I first joined. Now there is hardly anyone on here to help people. The site is going down the pan and its really up to the GR management to sort it.
