In my earliest days on TOTV in 2009 I had yet to even visit The Villages which was just a place on a list of 55 and over communities I planned to visit in Florida. Somehow I stumbled upon this forum, posted some questions I had, received a number of helpful responses and made internet friends with a few folks who met me in person after I arrived on my first visit. It was a warm and welcoming experience overall. I also benefitted from reading through many threads prior to my first visit. TOTV continued to remain helpful to me in many ways as I returned a couple more times before finally moving. IMHO TOTV seems to have lost its warm, welcoming and helpful feel to a great degree yet some posters remain very helpful in many ways and I sincerely thank them for their thoughtfulness and time.
P.S. I love the "Ignore List" feature which helps me avoid seeing many snarky posts.
