It's true that when TOTV was new, the attendance at monthly TOTV meetings was huge, and it's been declining ever since.
Back in 2008 when there were only 2,000 members, a lot of us went in the Chat Room every night.
We got to know each other and socialized together. I still count some of the "oldies" as my dearest friends.
Now with The Villages growing and a huge TOTV membership, things have changed a lot.
People seem busier now with neighborhood gatherings, golf, lunch with friends, groups such as Parrotheads, etc.
I don't think it's a bad thing -- just a sign of the times.
