I'll swap you Santa for Old Man Snorer Sharron.

I'd noticed the boards have hardly moved this week but I am as much to blame as others who read but don't post much. Memo to self: Must do better

You off to Bethlehem then?

Talking of which. Santa is sleeping in my bed again this year.

When three of Mersey and Co's daily threads are on the front page you know there's not much doing. :-0 :-D

Time to hitch up the donkey

Then Fred up and died so I had nothing interesting to contribute.

I think it is certainly on it's last legs.

It might get some people back if GR were to offer free standard membership - even if only for one year - but I can't see that happening.

I think it was popular 10 to 15 years ago because there were always new records being released onto the internet so there was plenty for people to ask for look-ups about. Now it's all out there and there isn't much to get excited about.

I can well remember being really excited about each new census release and looking for everyone I could.

I look every day at the various threads which at times are very interesting but I don't often have the urge to contribute.

Having said that, I would be sorry to see them disappear.

dead as a dodo innit!!!

It's certainly close to it. Mind you, those of us without school age children do tend to go away Sept & the beginning of Oct when it's a bit cheaper. There are at least 2 people who used to start threads who have been missing for a number of months. Their threads may not have appealed to everyone, but at least they kept the chat boards moving.

This site has barely moved for two days now.

Has it finally died?
