Well - I tried to attach a link showing the 6 employees but it shows up in the posting as access denied - anyone know why?

That’s just how some things seem to get titled. The link works fine. Even though I suspect the nurse is an employee of the school not the website.

If you want to change what the link looks like just go into your post and edit the part of the url you want to change.

Hmmmm, interesting. Do you think that the advertisers on this site are able to get bad reviews removed?

Does any one have more information?
the bottom line here that no one has figured out is that it's sort of a shell game. all the links etc really lead to no information at all like they want it to. you won't find it, because WHOIS is a nothing and none of the people that live in TV with the exception of a small few know how to track them down, which is frankly not even worth your time.

The ones that I know are usually best at hiding themselves under layers of privacy are retired cops. Career survival techniques - Not good to spend a career chasing the mob or Mexican Mafia and then advertise who you are and where you live. Kinda like using PO Boxes, middle names, in-laws maiden names, etc.

Being that TOTV is privately owned, the owner (or a sale of the entity) doesn’t have to be publicly disclosed. Just wondering if the developer has quietly purchased TOTV as part of the ongoing effort to keep tight control of the Villages narrative, as evidenced by The Daily Sun and WVLG. The cost would be chump change for them, and that would explain why the threads discussing how Oren Miller got totally railroaded suddenly disappeared. In the past, threads only disappeared if they ventured into national politics, not local news that was relevant to Villagers?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm......I don't think so, many threads trashing the developer survive.

Start a nasty one and see how it goes.

Not a chance. There are plenty of negative posts about TV on this site.

I rarely post negatives, yet I am the recipient of multiple "vacations"...

The Oren Miller threads were waaay too political...

.I'd bet it's ALL reliant on advertising as is virtually EVERY website that isn't doing online sales since we pay nothing to use it and they don't have a retail or online store that sells Girl Scout Cookies, gas or drugs.

As was I.

Wow.....I thought I was the only one.

Which makes advertising on ToTV and "recommendations" worthless.
