"BAD NEWS: The more popular RootsWeb becomes, the more costly it is to
simply stay alive and online. Expenses continue to exceed revenue. We ran up
a truly scary loss last year. Without outside help, it's not clear how long
we'd be able to go on like this."
Above is a quote from the article on the "merger" (ie, buyout) of Rootsweb
found at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/merge.html
To me it seems like
Ancestry.com is being made the hero by saving Rootsweb
from disastrous losses. Because they understand the importance of the
community that Rootsweb developed. Uh-hu, this coming from a web site that
charges people to look at census indexes and other things that are here for
FREE. Wonder how long it'll take before a tiny itty bitty change here and
there begins.
So do I have to take my "sponsered by Rootsweb" .jpg down now?
