I noticed it this morning and I will be moving my site as soon as possible. It is the same nickel and dime effort to generate more revenue that they used when ancestry took over Rootsweb the first time. Rootsweb is a good organization, but they do belong to ancestry and will do what they are told to do.

It now contains a search box for ancestry. Personally I think this will hurt as there are many people who don’t like ancestry.com, they charge too much, etc. It was one thing we acknowledge they give us free hosting, it’s another where we now are a portal for their site. This search box heading is not on my other rootsweb sites (yet), just Minnesota. At this time a disclaimer on outside links on our websites is a recommendation, maybe with this blatant search box that should change.

If I'm not mistaken, when the banners first appeared a few years ago, there was a way to code your page so that the banner would not show. Perhaps someone here remembers that scenario?
