I used to visit RV.net and the Snowbirds forum more often. The reason for my reduced visits is likely due to finding my favorite park and signing up for 4+/- months every winter. I haven't found a reason to search out a new winter home for our RV. I have also tried to share information that might be helpful, but my knowledge of other parks (in Florida for me) is limited.
I also cringe when I see someone reply "do a search" on whatever topic someone is asking about. It's not appropriate for me to correct the poster about his/her comment. That's something a moderator might address when or if necessary. I have used the search feature on occasion, but a newbie really wants honest, helpful replies to their question(s).
I'm still a desk top or lap top user. No smart phone for me thank you. More and more people are using social media to get their information. There are a lot of snowbirds these days, but many of the former forum members are getting older (yeah, I said it) and just aren't snowbirding anymore. Thus, they aren't here.
Also, I know that in Florida snowbird parks are being bought up by large corporations. Not many mom & pop operations anymore. The park where we spend our winters, Rock Crusher in Crystal River, was purchased by Sun Corp. about 3 years ago. They've also purchased other private parks around central Florida. Not sure if this consolidation is good for the snowbird consumer.
