And why would they get involved ? Someone already having a site, paying for his own site, won't spend time to help someone to copy from his site... I spend 10 years of my life to build my database. I sure won't give my work for free to wannabees that knows about nothing to genealogy. Visit wikitree and you will see almost no knowledge. Only copy.
