Why do people post on ToTV???

For some reason I was locked out of this website. I was probably a bad boy and said something. This is not the point.

Since I was locked out for a few months, I got out of the groove of posting. Again, this is not the point.

But now, I'm slowly accelerating and starting to post more......getting closer to the point of this thread.

NOW THE POINT..............Why?? Why am I back posting?? I know no one cares, so the general question.......Why do people post on ToTV???

I think it has a lot to do with the original question or post. One can gain useful information/advice from others knowledge or experience. Then again, sometimes the post or reply is so asinine we just can’t help ourselves....

Perhaps a psychologist, psychiatrist or sociologist could answer your question?

To me TOTV is sort of like the iPhone is to teenagers - addictive.

Actually, I think it is an interesting question though. I was locked out once for a couple of weeks and I wasn't even a bad girl. I know some people who have gotten upset about something and just decided to quit posting. I thought about it too - maybe for 1 or 2 minutes - then there I was, back on here. Anyway, it will be interesting what others may have to say.

As far as no one caring about you being on here or not, I would beg to differ. I think we all enjoy your humor. In fact, that is one of the reasons I do like this forum is for the levity at times. Other times it has been very informative and has helped to answer a lot of questions that I've had over the years.

I have never been "locked out" but three or four years ago I got tired of some of what I saw as bad manners and trolling and basically quit the site. I came back this winter primarily because we decided to buy a villa in TV and like a lot of the information and opinions shared here. There is no place the equal of this site for getting advice about all things Villages and surrounding area. I get on about twice a day for 30 minutes or an hour while I'm watching tv and check in on posts that look like they might interest me. I find it a fun diversion for the most part.

I do not know why people post on this site. Howsomever, I missed YOUR posts when you were "locked out". We all know we cannot change another's views on things, but sometimes rants and wrong stuff just can't sit there unchallenged and the folks who are always aggravating somehow need to be uhhhh spoken to.

Rumors need to be quelled and negativity just for it's own sake needs to be turned around.

There is no one who is a frequent poster on this forum that has as much time ahead as that left behind and for me it is ten years less than when I began here. We have something to say, something stuck in our craw and something to share.

Glad you are on this forum Dewilson. I nearly exited this very day. I needed for you to say what you said.

Cause you're bored and the internet is addicting.

I post in the hope that I can be helpful to people with questions which I may be able to answer. I also occasionally try to correct people who post misinformation, but this is rarely successful.

[Two Bills]

I post on here because I like being ignored!

[KSSunshine]

I hope that people post on here to be sincerely helpful! We sit from a distance and follow this forum to learn about TV in order to be better informed on the nuances of TV. As we prepare for our retirement and move to TV, hearing all perspectives is important to develop a well-rounded view of TV. In addition, I enjoy your personalities that emerge! Along with my cup of coffee in the morning, it's better than the news!

[villagetinker]

OK, I, like CarlinTampa, try to help people, I will occasionally also try to 'correct' people when I know they are wrong or providing misinformation. I also find the site generally informative.
