Re: So disappointed in RootsChat - What rubbish !!!!

[Bee]

Thank goodness that was a malicious rumour.
Rootschat is like a second home, so thankyou to Trystan & Sarah for setting it up in the first place.

Missed that post.

Another Troll?

The web is full of misguided idiots who for some reason like to wind others up.

I hope the individuals concerned have all their fingers and toes, then with a prevailing wind and plenty of effort then can at least count up to twenty.

Like others I read the post yesterday but mostly ignored it as my experience of RootsChat has only ever been positive.

Thank you so very much to Sarah and Trystan, I can't imagine how much work is involved in running a site like this, but I am so grateful!

I too missed that post, so have no idea what was said.

Regarding the fingers and toes of those who do such mischief, I would be looking for the devices to "tie" them together.

Just keep up the good work Sarah and Trystan

Glad to hear that this site is not closing.
Rootschat is part of my daily routine and rootschatters have helped me in various ways - by solving a couple of queries; advising on where to look for information; even with a bit of light-hearted relief.
So, thank you for all the work done behind the scenes in maintaining such a site. Long may it continue.

I don't think it was mischief; at least not by the person who started the now deleted thread. She panicked and misinterpreted things that appeared when RootsChat postings were viewed by herself and maybe a few others, but not everybody. The same "things" appeared to one user of Find A Grave a few weeks back. I don't know if or how it was resolved.

I hope you like my obfuscation. I'm currently reading local newspaper reports of WW2 bombings where details were likewise withheld.

I saw the post and mostly did not believe the insinuation that RootsChat is going to end. 
Sarah, I am so happy to read your confirming post that this is 'rubbish' and that you both have no plans to end this. I knew you would respond.
I thank you so much for all you both do to keep RootsChat going.  It almost goes without saying that this means such a lot to us all; it is so much more than a genealogy site - it feels like a community. 
I have been on here since 2016 and the only thing that disappoints me is that I didn't find out about it sooner.
Long may RootsChat continue!

I didn't see the post which caused consternation, but I want to add my thanks, and "positive strokes"   for Sarah and Trystan.
Roots Chat has been such a tremendous help to me in so many areas, and sometimes I even get the joy of giving back.
The community value of threads such as the the Diary, or the Photos, Tea and Chatter, is immense and the gift of time and breadth of knowledge shared so freely is immenser!!!
Long may this  marvellous resource continue.

Sarah and Trystan,

I heartily second all the above expressions of gratitude, support and encouragement. What you have created is unique, absolutely incomparable. It has helped me through some bleak times in the past.

Long, long may it last.

Justin
