Yep. Just look at all the threads this OP has started. They're all just to get attention.

You can't make this stuff up. If you ask a simple question based on something you heard which did not sound logical you open yourself up to the group that are challenged when it comes to the ability to understand and comprehend subjects that go beyond a 1970 comic book. A number of residents will not use this great communication instrument because as they say there are a set of "bullies" who pride themselves in their actions to make fun of the users . You know who they are! They are the ones who keep watch on the material in TOTV and strike at users to discredit them and their questions. The unfortunate part of this is that some good questions or advice go unasked to avoid that group. Maybe if on the first clear attempts to disrupt participation in TOTV results in that person being denied access. It would be greater to have less participation in the posts and more positive participants than more bully participants and less meaningful interchanges of ideas and questions. We have used TOTV for many years and this has
been getting worse as times go on and the bullies grow as a larger group of the total. Since there are no controls for this group and no consequences their interference and behavior will continue to grow out of proportion to the total positive users.

I still don’t understand how people can feel bullied or angry in a site full of strangers and can’t figure out people having fun with some of these posts and you must remember the old saying, Ask a silly question , You get a silly answer . Lighten up it’s all fun or just turn on the tv and watch reality shows

And for those that have felt bullied in there life, how would you like to be a barely 16 year old American as a new replacement in 1954 to the first foreign parachute battalion of the French Foreign Legion in Vietnam full of violent people from all over the world and including many Germans with the SS bolts tattoo cut out of there arm because the SS were about the only people the legion-wouldn’t take at least on paper and your looking at almost 6 years to go I can tell you a lot about real bullying lol

I don't want to cause problems, but I heard from a friend in Tampa whose friend lives in TV that if you are new to TV in 2022 they were waiving all fees for the entire year and giving an extra pass for any friends that live within driving distance of TV. Unfortunately, those extra passes expire in 2029, so can't count on those being good forever.

Unless your friend is also your hairdresser, rumors on ToTV are not valid.

Not true.

question. Does anyone know if buying passes is true?

Direct from Guest ID guidelines.

“ A resident who has a son, daughter, grandchild or great grandchild (and their spouses) who reside in Lake, Marion or Sumter counties may apply for an in-area guest ID card.)”

It is $80 a year. I know someone who has one, but I don’t think they are supposed to use the sports pool.

Limit the gossip! If you want an answer, call the source. Call the District gov recreation office. There's nothing like putting on a band aid on something that after the gossip will be that someone ended up in ICU for a scratch.

Good Suggestion, but some posters love to create rumors, spread rumors, stir the pot.

This person knows what they speak of! Also Colony Cottage checks ID’s for the volleyball players at the sports pool. I don’t know if they do it all the time but I have seen them going back to their car/cart to get the ID before they were allowed entry.
