Some tree had to die first. The accepted slogan is REDUCE, reuse, recycle.

Don’t know what the OP is talking about. We moved to TV nearly 5 years ago and every time we go back up north or on vacation I send an e-mail to circulation.dailysun@thevillagesmedia.com (per their web page) with the the date to start suspension and the date to resume deliveries. In less than 5 minutes a get an e-mail confirmation that my request was processed!! Never failed for the many times I’ve done so in nearly 5 years!!!

Shows how spoiled we have become. Nothing wrong with slowing down or working a little harder.

OMG I know how you feel
I also spent the longest 2 minutes of my life renewing my newspaper and I feel your pain having to buy my movie ticket from a live person who could use the job , I envy some people who have such busy lives that even minutes count |

I wish that the worst problem in my life was having to verbally give my credit card number to the Daily Sun for a subscription. There are people that you could give them a check for $1,000 and they would complain that it wasn't enough, took too long to get it, why didn't they get it a long time ago, why couldn't it have been in cash instead of a check, why wasn't it deposited directly to their checking/savings account because now they have to make a trip to the bank, why did they have to to to the mail station to get the check because it should have been hand delivered to their house, and on and on.

are so old it’s hysterical. I don’t know what the Sun charges for their advertising but I shouldn’t have to pay to find out what to do here. Instead of putting everything on an updated platform they pay for constant fix of bugs in the code and updates and revisions. |

While it certainly isn't the worst thing it certainly IS one of the most INSECURE ways of protecting your credit card. Lots of credit card numbers are on sale on the web. While the odds of losing your money even if someone steals your credit card number are negligible I can tell you from personal experience it is a real PAIN IN THE AZZ recovering a stolen identity.

The Tee Time online system may be a little rustic, but it works. Why spend the money (lots of money) to fix something that is adequately doing the job? Not only expensive, but you'd have to deal with all the potential bugs a new system could have. If anything, they should just do away with the Tee Time phone system, which is really cumbersome.
I worked for TV Sales Department for 8 years and, when I left several years ago, they were just transitioning from a mainframe based system to a PC/Server based system. It took a lot of talking to get them to make that move (not sure if it is complete yet), so I wouldn't expect them to be upgrading any of the other systems very soon. Also, other than having a sweetheart deal with Comcast, I still can't figure out why they don't provide a Villages wide wireless internet system. They certainly have the infrastructure to do it. |

Spouse has the villages.net to make tee times and still has the newspaper delivered. I never even look in the paper any more.

Hmmm, I guess I am old school. One of the many things I like about the Villages is that you don’t have to go online to do everything, and you are not constantly being pestered to download a bunch of apps. Whenever I call the Daily Sun, someone knowledgeable always picks up the phone instead of reaching an automated answering system, and they speak perfect English. How good is that : ) And I absolutely love reading a printed newspaper rather than staring at a computer screen.
