What will happen is is that the list will be put up for adoption and someone else can volunteer to take over the lists. Or the current list admin can turn over the rains of the duties of this list to someone else.

Hi all, What Mr. Colby says is correct, Rootsweb does not close down mailing lists. I run 4 Rootsweb lists myself and I find that a lot of lists I am a member of(which are many) or I run are slow often, that does not mean they are not useful there are always times when things pick up some.
