I don't wish to criticise anyone running NMFHS.. they're all volunteers and probably leading busy lives. They've been immensely helpful in the past and I appreciate all they do and have done. It's the same I think with all such voluntary organisations. A few people do all the work, and the rest of us appear to complain!
It's just frustrating about the Forum. There were loads of very local people using that who know North Meols/Southport really well; many of them still living there.
Through that Forum I managed to identify someone that I met age 10 (50+ years ago!!) that my grandmother said was an 'aunt'.. she lived near my grandmother. I never knew her surname. But I knew roughly where she lived. Someone on the Forum knew who I was talking about because she was in his Tree! Stupidly, I lost the message thread.
So, as you say, it would be great if they would just archive it.
