First discovered last night that freepages at Rootsweb all revert to Ancestry.com.

Just now that county sites still hosted on Rootsweb, also revert to Ancestry.com

Reminds me of the 'gift' from a week before Christmas 2017.

I guess several folks contacted Rootsweb - and it came back shortly after I initially posted this.
