I have noticed recently that quite a few posts have been moved to other forums because they do not pertain to the "nuts and bolts" of DVC. I can understand this since the description of this forum reads as follows:
Join our ever growing list of DVC members as they share information and tips on the Disney Vacation Club timeshare.
But sometimes posts are made with opinions, questions, and comments that do not pertain to DVC "nuts and bolts," yet the poster is asking specifically for the opinions of DVCers and not the DIS board community at large. DVCers are a unique bunch and sometimes you want to compare notes on some things that do not involve point-mania.
For example, I was recently curious as to how many DVCers home school. DVC provides perfect opportunity to go to Disney often and during low season when public school is in session and i wanted to know if many DVC folks do this. I even asked in the body of the post "please don't move this".....WHAM! moved to the Family board.
Someone else had questions about public parking and their post was moved to the transportation board. They reposted saying that they were specifically interested in DVCers opinions on the matter and the repost was also moved to the transportation board.
Now I DO NOT blame the moderators for this. Most of the moved posts are moved appropriately and the poster gets their question answered more thoroughly and accurately because it was moved. And it is GREAT how these new boards let you follow the moved post right from the DVC board.
But sometimes you want to just converse with DVCers about an issue and you don't want the topic opened up to the DIS community at large. Since this board is about the actual workings of the club, these posts really dont belong here. In fact, they have no home.
My solution? Wouldn't it be great to have a DVC community board? A new board that would allow DVCers to converse with one another about any topic that they want to. Politics, the weather, families, jobs, whatever. Kind of like a community hall for DVCers only. Gee, we just joined DVC and i want to be exclusive already
Oh, and Pete, if you are reading this....I volunteer to be a moderator for it
One last thing...PLEASE DON'T MOVE THIS POST TO THE DEBATE BOARD!!!!!!
