Rootschat

Post by mezentia »

Rootschat has been offline now for a long time. As it's one of the top forums for genealogists and family history researchers (and one that I use on a regularly, along with some 300,000 others), I would have thought that it's disappearance would have created more noise. Does anyone here have any idea at all what has happened to it?

Hi, Like you I have used rootschat for years and it's current "not available" is a great shame and loss. What has surprised me is that I have become a member of 2 other family history forums, that whist offering very similar facilities to rootschat appear to be used very little and most posts are years old. Your own post did not have a response for 3/4 days as an example.

A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
