Online Petition to Save the "Old" Ancestry (General)

Further to the above thread, I see that Ancestry have indeed, unsurprisingly in my view, decided that they "know what's best" for their users and subscribers, and their website WILL ONLY offer the "new improved" (where have you heard that before) "experience" to all users after 15th December 2015.

Speaking for myself I'm thoroughly depressed about this, and have told them so. I've also chosen not to renew my subscription. Altho' I doubt it will make any difference, please join me and spend a few moments signing this online petition against the changes. I suspect this is just one of several such actions being taken by disaffected users worldwide, I'll continue to try and search them out and add my voice to them all, but in the meantime please sign this petition, even if you're not an Ancestry user. Don't forget, you don't have to be a subscriber to use their site, at the very least it's a good way to build and display your family trees, all free-of-charge.
Or at least it WAS....

Many thanks, Jeff.

PS It's makes us even more thankful there are still excellent, user-friendly, FH websites like this Forest of Dean one; please consider donating towards it's upkeep this Christmas, thanks.

I'll also be adding to this, altho it seems clear that only favourable comments are actually welcome.

UPDATE;
I'm pleased to add that a few hours after signing the petition, I've been sent a poll by Ancestry, which has given me another formal way to comment on their new format. I didn't score it very highly...
