I think for a lot of us it is information sharing, reading about local happenings, helping newbies with their questions about The Villages, and more. For some people it is also a form of socialization. I prefer to socialize with people face to face, but it is understandable that some people are unable to get out of the house for various reasons, whether it is poor health or looking after loved ones, and online forums such as TOTV serve as a substitute means of having contact with others. And the monthly get-togethers at Crispers probably help reinforce those online friendships.
