General Chat

I wont be leaving. There are many wonderful people on this site, who try to help others without gain. I know that I have found these people a great source of information. I am so very grateful to those people. I have also discovered much more about my family history since joining about 2 months ago, than I had since starting my family tree about 2 years ago. Pat

I have not yet heard what has gone on yet, but whatever it is I am staying put.

Genes have removed a member that has done a lot of good work on this site because he set up a rival site a few months ago (the other side!!!) This member came on the board yesterday to thank people for good wishes as he has just become a grandad. Also he wanted to send his love to a member who is not too well at the moment and Genes deleted his messages upsetting a good friend of ours that was not well. Genes dont seem to want us to debate honestly. A few people have said they are leaving, including myself in the heat of the moment as I was getting annoyed by the whole situation and Genes not replying to e mails. I just wondered how many people would be leaving and if there would be a site left. I wouldnt want to loose all my friends. I just feel very dissapointed with genes at the moment due to not getting what I feel is a proper answer as to why they are deleting threads with no explaination. I hope that this matter soon ends and we can get on with how things were before. I am not going to say any more on the matter I think I have said enough.

Gillian, Why what has happened? What other side? how can you leave a site with so many helpful people on it, I would not of got where I am with my rellies if it hadn't been for all the helpful people on this site, can't name them as there is too many, but they know who they are.. Sue

Hi Lisa, Reckon if we include all the threads that have been deleted, its more like 24 hours :O) even my girls dont argue for that long and thats saying something Sheila

this debate has been goimg on for about 6hrs .should be in the record books!

Hi Lisa, Reckon we can put this down as a really good arguement :O)) just hope GR considers what we say, and does re-instate him. Sheila

yeah you know what us women are like we always like a good argument!

Hi Lisa, That would be the logical thing for GR to do, the point has now been made an as a gesture of goodwill, i think it would be appreciated by the other members if they did this. Sheila hopefully stop the bickering, till the next time :O))

can't they reinstate colin? would save on all this bickering from us all.including me

Well Im not leaving either,,so who is? Iv not seen anyone mention they were leaving, I think Colin's site is great,,

it's a debate board people with views and ernest gave a view with something he didn't like so we have all replyed to him.you did ask what it was about and i told you.

I think Ernest must have been deleted too! Joy

I thought this was a family history web-site not a slagging match site.

how would you feel brian though.if you haven't done anything wrong.it could happen to us and i would like my g.c members to stand by me aswell

It all sounds a bit childish to me !

Excuse me, but what exactly has been going on? I hav'nt a clue, honest. Can someone explain please? Jo.

we are just stating that ernest put athread on the site complaining to g.c that colin had been unfairly treated because g.c thought that he was plugging another chat site and he was struck off and all his threads were aswell.didn't have any say or was able to fight his corner so ernest complain that colin was upset about being treated like this and ernests thread disappeared because he complained and g.c didn't like it.

Have a look at WHERE HAS ERNESTS THREAD GONE Where has ernests open message to Genes gone? Joy

Pardon my ignorance, but what has gone on, and what's the other side, and who's Ernest?
