I am not given credit for my reasearch and the fact that some ancestors Are just guesswork and not yet proven are also not acknowlegded. I will never put my tree on ancestry due to my research is available through me for free. If they are going to take rootsweb down for good, I hope they have the courtesy to also remove my tree from ancestry due to I never authorized it to be on there anyway.

It's nice that today, at least, they've told us it was hardware failure. Seems to me that this could have been communicated from the get-go. With the past few days seeing any number of genealogy venues awash in all kinds of theories of what was happening, a simple note that the hardware had failed and they were working on it and would get us an ECD for restoration when they had it would have stopped a lot of that. Though I doubt it would have stopped ALL of it... ;) I'm just glad to finally know what's going on. In the meantime, I've moved my site to another server.
