Over the past weekend, many of us were unable to access RW resources.
I
for one, wanted historical information on Ohio for some new surnames I am
researching -- timeframes for counties and townships -- simply not
available elsewhere -- and happy to have the information this afternoon.
This information is supplied by volunteers who believe in making
information freely available to the genealogical community.
For my part a thank you.
Jeff supplied some statistics for RW performanace

Subject: Hard work
Rootsweb has retained an overall 99+% "up time" for the past five years.
sporadic failures of one server or another has placed one small portion
down periodiacally, and one instance of Trunk failure took rootsweb down
for several hours once. Rootsweb however, through exceptional response
by the volunteer staff, has a reputation of being one of the most
reliable subscription (free) services on the internet.
Even Rootsweb however must sometimes "shake out the dust" and do a
system wide maintenance, in this case it was a significant effort.
Considering the schedule extended into the weekend, we all should be
thankful it was accomplished with few visible defects, as it had to be a
very complex operation.
My hat is off to the Staff, and employees who did the "hard work" and put
in the hours.
Rootsweb is still the best genealogical value on the internet.
