Good Sam link gone?

If your new post has any unusual characters in it, anywhere, it's rejected and gives us no error message. Something that other forums cured a couple decades ago. So, check for odd characters and remove them, then try again.

I keep trying to start a new thread and keep getting the same message "Site can't be reached". Yet, it let me post this message.

Over the years I've gone to the 'suggestions' thread here on RV.net many times and made suggestions with hopes that they'd actually fix something. This forum is like from the dark ages...and apparently always will be because they never did ANYTHING about all the annoying old time features this site has.

I mean, really, what other site in the entire world faults without giving an error message when you just use the 'percent' sign in a posting? Dumb.

I suspect that all this is a work in progress.

It seems things are back as normal - not working.

I've been trying to do a few posts over the evening, lets see if this one makes it through.

**EDIT** So this one went through, yet no other post will??? Sure is frustrating.

Same here, Rv.net had been performing badly. Lets see nope instant time out with a percent sign.

Why did Marcus delete goodsam from dns but leave Woodalls in the DNS and pointing to non existent goodsam now?

Yeah, I lost my woodalls link also. Woodalls is no more as a separate entity, gone the way of other camping guides. Who of you recalls Wheelers?
When Mr. Lemonis bought Affinity group, they were competing against themselves with TL & Woodalls camping guides. So he spun Woodalls off to AAA to replace their regional camping guides, with info copied from what was 60 account rep. teams, 30 for each, to 40 for GS that had smaller territories, but could serve them better. No more duplication, or rating 'opinion' that was prevalent in Woodalls inspection criteria.
Like all of you I will miss the woodalls green, but know from with meeting with Marcus' GS / rv.net team that it was a survival of the fittest. The leadership team is highly focued on value for you, the consumer, us the provider, and them for a fair profit.
Woodalls was an expense that called for fading away.

answer me 1 question then why did he do away with the east &west verison of the guides, so much easier to read depend which side of Miss river u are on. esp if CP trying to read on the move

The woodalls guides were sold/ copied into the AAA 7 regional campbooks. If you look at the campbooks from any year, you will see they were, are info taken from Woodalls, then TL . AAA did not inspect or rate camps, they just came to collect our money for the listing.
We 12 campowners in the '09 Good sam park advisory council argued against the one Big Book, were countered with the free to AAA member regionals, the trans Mississippi nature of rvers. The cost of producing a book for each 1/2 of the nation could not be recovered by a marginally lower price for each.
Personally, we use word of mouth, google earth, rvparkreviews.com after the books to find our best parks.
