Lately when I read this forum, it's sounding more and more like a place to gripe, groan and so on. Perhaps it's the growing population, perhaps it's something else but it's not the same.

Maybe we can have a separate section for "gripes of the day", then those who like to read such things for enjoyment or misery would have their own spot. The rest of us could read the helpful articles and suggestions etc. like we used to without having to guess by the title. After all we came and bought in the friendliest place around...and it still is...95% of the time if we just look closely enough.
That's very true. I find most Villagers friendly, nice and warm. We have been here since June 2005 and I always enjoy it immensely when returning from somewhere else like Palm Harbor or Washington, D.C.
