A lot of TOTV members don't live in The Villages yet. Plus there are a lot of newbies seeking information on the best place to buy a golf cart, blinds, landscapers, etc. I personally like to read TOTV when I'm in Canada for six months during the summer. It's an excellent way to keep current and find out about new stores and restaurants opening, etc.

Then there are a lot of frogs that use TOTV as amusement, to find out the latest gossip, to post on a restaurant meal, complain about something that's bothering them, or to comment on the latest controversial subject. Some members recently used TOTV as a way to communicate their conversations with police about the recent robberies. TOTV is a good website and an effective way to communicate information and opinions.
I agree with Bare. Some people watch the soaps every day; I watch the forum. It all depends on what floats your boat, and I object to being criticized for spending time on TOTV.

If people think we frequent posters don't have a life otherwise, I'd invite them to come spend a day with us.
