For those that use rootsweb apparently 200 of the boards have new administrators due to lack of use on some??!!.

I got a digest saying that the TIREE board were particularly upset with their administrator being sacked and a new administrator appointed.

Someone said that there was a notice at the end of a couple of messages which most contributors hadn't seen it and this man applied and was given the board.

Are these the same as the message boards on ancestry, Julie?

That might explain the message I got from the admin of one of the county boards the other day; I bet s/he was new to the job and a bit over-eager.

Yes I think they're trying to drum up trade so that their boards look busy.
