Hi sorr1996,
You are so right about the valuable information to be found on this site. We have not bought yet, but when I began to get more serious about looking at TV, I knew there had to be more information out there than just what was on TV's website and in their advertising.
TOTV can show up on a Google search, but when we were there in 2007, I saw some TOTV advertising somewhere. I cannot remember if it was in "The Daily Sun" or if I picked up a little card from one of the shops or what it was. But now that is no more.
The Villages will not accept advertising from TOTV through any of their own sources. No ads in "The Daily Sun." No info on counters. Nada. (And I understand that from the marketing point of view from TV's angle. Unfair? Some may think so. I just think it is TV's control of their marketing machine. And that's OK. They own it and they have the right to do that. It is nothing more than a fact. Not much point in debating the issue.)
But obviously 10,000 members and who knows how many lurkers have managed to find their way here. And there is an absolute wealth of information in these archives. The "search" function is not always the easiest to use though. If you put quotation marks around a phrase you think might take you somewhere, that can help sometimes.
Once in a while, I start feeling like some kind of librarian, and I get the urge to just gather up all that real estate info in here and shelve it neatly in one place under its proper Dewey Decimal System number so that people can find the info easily. (But then I get up from the computer and go on with my real life and get over it.) But wow. There is a lot of useful stuff on here.
So anyway, have fun looking around and welcome.
