5. Congratulations/ Thank yous/ Happy birthdays/ Get well Prayers, etc. etc.
6. For sales and wanted adds.
7. Club/Event information.
8. Experts on line to help us with our questions about so many topics.
9. Church information and Help or support group updates.
These are just a few of the many reasons that thousands of people use TOTV as their daily calendar and sometimes just a friend to talk to.
My point is, that if one of the forums is deleted for the benefit of the rest, then in MY OPINION, it is a wise and kind thing to do for so many Villagers at the expense of only a hand full of those that would for lack of a better term, become so passionate about one topic, that they :::::: ah ah ah , well I think you get the message. Please stay with us and this is the friendliest home town in America.

I believe that this has been one of the best business decisions that TOTV has made. I would bet that it will provide great benefits to the owner(s) and the members. I have started passing on the word that TOTV is now a friendlier forum with a mentally healthier environment. I see the membership not only increasing, but also old friends returning. Give it a little time. The nasty ones will find a new place to torment.
Someone (probably Gracie) asked a while back, where all of the old posters had gone. I can personally name a few more than a dozen of them who quit visiting TOTV just because of the disrespectful, bull-headed, uncompromising postings of others. This was especially prevalent and concentrated in the Political Thread.
If you go way back to when the Political Thread was made "members only" you'll find BTK and some of the others making the same arguments. It worked out then (for a while) and doing away with it entirely will work out now. The membership and the owners will come away the winners.
To Admin - nice job.
