OP, You ask an interesting question and one that the Moderators/Owners of this site likely ask themselves from time to time. I still find TOTV interesting and sometimes even entertaining. For example I find information regarding the expansion south of 44 very interesting. That said, I know there is a “search engine” but I find it difficult to get certain information we might want quickly and for it to be current. There are other so called “Neighborhood Sites” that my wife is on and she seems to be able to get the name and phone number of a good Plumber, Electrician, Carpenter or Mechanic faster than I can search or ask for one on TOTV. Sometimes there are many more negative comments than positive when a new Thread is started. Posters are quick to shoot the Messenger if they don’t agree and in subtle ways offend the OP. IMHO it is not “funny” to belittle someone just because you disagree with their comment. Overall we can do better - whether we are “new”or “old” to TOTV. Overall, I think the Moderators do a good job on this site.
