It would be wonderful if we had a crystal ball and knew if we liked or didn't like a post before reading it. Unfortunately, no one has that power.

At times it is fun to kid around and poke fun at each other but i don't think this forum is the proper place to
do that.
I am grateful to you for watching out for us, however the administrator handles this wonderfully does a great job babysitting a old folks !

But Warren, in my humble opinion, TOTV is meant to be a chat site. Yes, exchange of information is the basis. But I think it's also a place to chat, have fun, express opinions, make jokes, and get side tracked. I have personally grown very fond of some posters on TOTV. Some I've met and I'm lucky to call them friends. Some I've never met, but I respect their opinions and I know I'd like them a lot if I ever get to meet them.

Sorry Warren, I guess my post is a perfect example of what you dislike.
:agree:

Maybe if some people would lighten up, they would have more friends. :smiley:

One is the values of this site, is that you make friends who will go out of their way to help you. To me, it's a value that no amount of money can be placed on.

I hope to meet you someday Bare. :smiley:

What a dry piece of toast this forum would be without some of the neighborly fluff we see here. I do agree with you Warren, that some of the ill-natured bantering detracts and upsets, but as for me and my house, bring on the butter and honey!

Sometimes it feels like family..comfort. .happy..sad...and hugs

Personally, I love the banter. We're in PA (snowing AGAIN!), settle on TV house 2/12, and can't officially move there for 2 or 3 years. I feel like I'm getting to know people through the knowledge they share, but also the banter. I can't banter, but feel more like a part of the group we're looking forward to becoming a part of in the future.

The only difference between a chat and a forum is the number of folks chatting. And, oh...that privacy thingie.

Ditto!

Personally, as someone new to The Villages, I have come to really look forward to TOTV. I enjoy the informality of it because it makes me feel so much more welcome to participate occasionally. I think of a forum as so formal, a place for debates, but the very name TALK of the Villages encourages conversation with each other.

I agree with you. It's more informal than a "forum" like you would find at a symposium, conference, or something like that.

And what I like about a forum over a chat room is that people are not on commenting all at the same time. I can't follow a chat room. It just goes down the screen in a line. On the forum, it's divided into subjects, and the posts come one at a time. In a chat room, they're all thrown together.
