That isn't a bad trade off though. I mean, we used to display "Hosted by Rootsweb" graphics or say thank you to them for the webspace. The banner eliminates the need to do that.

Call it sour grapes if you want, but I don't like people hacking my pages and placing ads on the pages without my permission. We are offered the Rootsweb space without a contract and without signing away the site rights for them to display ads. I did use a "Hosted by Rootsweb" image at the bottom of each page. Again, Rootsweb has always been a good organization, but they do what Ancestry wants them to do with their ads. I pprefer not to have a banner on my pages unless I place it there. I have already moved my site to "theusgenweb.org" and the Rootsweb site will disappear at the end of June, 2014. I also requested that the URL to the site be changed on the state page, but have not received a response yet.

Bryant, The link to Nobles County was updated the day you informed us of the move. I apologize for not letting you know that had been done.
