We had visited the villages a few times and while doing an internet search it led us to TOTV. Glad we found it, learned a lot and made many friends.

We found the forum after hearing about it during a visit to TV. It was a kinder, gentler, more informative site back then. It seems to have gone very political and dominated by 12 to 15 people who have something to say on every subject posted. Never the less, I still sign on daily to see what new restaurants, rants, and rentals might be popping up.

I was trying to find some information on whether or not any of the bad, imported dywall had been used in TV. Googled my question, and some posts of the subject came up. Been looking in regularly since then.

Searching for info on TV I would click on any link I could find and somewhere along the line I ran across TOTV. Not sure where it was but I am glad I found it.

Smile Looking for more info on TV

As I recall, my wife and I had visited TV for a few hours in January 2008. The place looked interesting and I started researching information on TV. At that time TOTV was not very high in Google's rankings but I kept going down the Google list of links looking for more info until I found TOTV.

Smile My son suggested

that there might be a chat room or forum that I could ask questions about life in the villages. So I use bing (new name for windows live search) as I was testing the beta version anyway. Typed in "the villages fla chat" and up you came. So I joined the party.

Searching the internet while researching TV prior to visiting. The info that I got from here was very valuable when I came to look for (and ultimately buy) a home last year.

My sister lives in Naples and loves Florida. Her friend lives in The Villages and researched all over the world and found The Villages to be the best! He absolutely loves it. I sent away for the dvd and met wonderful people here on TOTV and I was hooked!!
