I have never seen traffic on this site so slow!
You can go two pages deep and find posts last commented on at 8:30 AM and that includes numerous classifieds. Just interesting to me, not trying to make any big point.

A whole lot of Fun, Controversial people have turned off their accounts for one reason or another. It is a shame in my opinion. People at advanced ages don't take well to spankings. I guess I'm in the minority on that count.
Makes you wonder if they just stop posting or if they got their Eternal member Designation but we don't know it. 97% of the people here on TOTV'S are fine 3% are Exceptional! The 3% are the ones who stir the Pot and keep things active. Capiche? |

I have noticed the same thing. I know I will get jumped on for stating this, but i think many people are looking for threads that give them useful information about the goings on in the Villages. I think many people are getting really tired of logging into TOV and seeing "The Thread about Nothing" and "Three Word Sentences" over and over each time they check out the website. I know I don't have to open and read the threads, which I don't, but some new content would be most welcome. Just an opinion for what it's worth.

Too many things for sale also. I thought there was a separate classified section for items for sale.

I have started several new threads, some that have gotten little traffic, and some that have gotten a fair amount of traffic. What I don't understand is how the moderators seem to cancel many new threads that are very interesting within a a matter of days, and other threads that are way less interesting seem to go on forever. The longevity of some threads, as well as the fact that the same few people seem to visit them multiple times per day, amount to the huge number of hits on said threads. I would expect that the threads are allowed to go on forever so that the owners of TOV can use the traffic on these threads as a selling point for advertisement space? Go figure, if I was a potential advertiser, I would not be buying advertisement space based on the traffic generated from "The Thread About Nothing"?

The focus should be on quality. I find very good replies to honest questions from everyone. The people here (I find) are good.
What I don’t understand is the thread about nothing. Like the household items for sale, I will not reply to that posting... It’s just me and nay honest reply to the OP. Thanks for this forum. Last edited by Tom C; 12-08-2018 at 12:39 AM. |

As stated earlier, you don't need to click on anything that doesn't interest you. If scrolling past the "Thread About Nothing" is that much of an inconvenience for you I really don't know what to say.

No inconvenience whatsoever, I scroll past the thread all the time with no problem. If you go back and read the beginning of this thread, I was simply suggesting a theory as to why the traffic on TOV appears to be rather slow lately. My theory was in response to the OP of this thread, who made the observation about slow traffic lately. My theory is that most people come to TOV for relevant information on what is going on in the Villages and may be growing tired of consistently seeing threads that are about nothing.

But as far as people coming here for relevant information, yes and no. In my opinion some people come here as a form of daily communication and entertainment. This is where they socialize. They like to keep in contact with others even if it isn't relevant. Some are here to be helpful. I haven't seen many questions of relevance go unanswered. If someone knows the answer they will reply. At times even if no one knows the answer they will reply with a guess. Some threads get so hijacked away from their intended topic that they become irrelevant. All of these things can contribute to the perceived decrease in forum participation. There is no one right answer.

Maybe it's the Christmas Season and there is less complaining.
Maybe, just maybe. |
