It was nice to find a link to the old site though, I do recall when our magazine took it's glossy form from its original matt form, I objected to the change then, so maybe it's just me. > > I'm a bit of a Dinosaurs Rex - big - sharp teeth - small brain and likely to become extinct soon. > > BTW Is it not possible that we could move our forum from antiquated public Rootsweb, and move it to our already up and running private Google plus community > Whilst this forum is not perfect it does provide a good mode of sharing, information and discussion for members. It also enables non members to read the discussion points via the archives and perhaps join us. Effectively this forum is our shop window. A Google+ Community is a good idea, There is already a private Guild Community https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105192164788119705673 There is also an open to all, Guild owned Surnames Community https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/115248071390369725970 Not everyone uses or understands the promise of Google+ and personally I feel a closed forum is a bit like a shop window that entices people to enter only to find that the door is locked. Wherever the discussion is, this forum or the community via Google the value of those arenas is as good as the conversations taking place. As individuals we only get out what we put in.
