I guess it is a good opportunity to remind everyone that the genealogy
society may be linked to but may not be the main page of your county
sites.

If a county web page meets all the other requirements spelled out in the
USGenWeb Bylaws and CC guidelines, I don't see why it may not also be
the main page of a genealogical society which may possibly work to
support OHGenWeb and has its members working to support it.
I don't recall there ever being an OHGenWeb discussion and vote on such
an issue. Who made up this rule?

You mentioned this issue previously after your election, but it is also
not a requirement that ever had a discussion and vote on by OHGenWeb
CCs. In 1998 we had a discussion and vote on additional page
requirements beyond what is in the USGenWeb Bylaws and CC guidelines, so
there is past precedent in having OHGenWeb CCs participate in decisions
on additional page requirements rather than having sole decisions made
by the SC.
If displaying the current year is an actual requirement (and one on
which you might consider delinking someone who does not comply), it
ought to go through a vote and be formally recorded as an actual page
requirement which can be found on the OHGenWeb state website.
