The below is a message I'm posting on behalf of Mike Schneider, CEO, Affinity
To all Open Roads Forum members:
I’d like to take a moment and express my deep appreciation for your participation on these forums. As an avid reader of these pages, I am constantly inspired by the depth and breadth of knowledge so many of you express here, and by the generous ways in which you share your insights. The commitment you show to the RV community encourages me, my staff, and our many fine moderators, to continue to invest time and effort towards making sure these forums are superior.
As you know, the RV marketplace has been faced with multiple challenges during the past year, some of which are ongoing. I want to clearly state that Affinity is committed as ever to responding to and overcoming these challenges. By listening, learning, focusing, and putting our members’ needs first, we know that we can continue to serve the RV community in the manner in which it deserves.
Affinity has proudly served the RV community for many, many years with the utmost in integrity and quality. Some of our products, in fact, have been around for decades, such as the Good Sam Club at 40+ years, Trailer Life at 60+ years and our granddaddy, Woodall’s, about to celebrate its 75th anniversary. During that time we’ve learned that we must constantly keep up with the changing marketplace and listen to you as we keep our offerings relevant and current.
As we strive to improve and innovate in the upcoming months you may have noticed and will continue to find some minor changes or additions to some of the portals of the forum. Please know that these upcoming changes are intended to both maximize the quality of content on the forums while balancing our need to cover our costs of operation. We endeavor to continue to provide you free access to these forums, and we are able to do so thanks to your patronage of the RV.net family of products and services such as Good Sam Club, Trailer Life Directory, Trailer Life Magazine, MotorHome Magazine, Camp Club USA, and Woodall's to name just a few.
Again, I personally thank you for your patronage of these fine brands. I am proud we are able to provide you with such forums to express your wisdom, wit, and passion for all things RV, and I anticipate a bright future for RVing.
Sounds like more advertising is coming. Which brings in the money needed to keep on going. Put the adds on the side bar or in between the post, OK.... Just, PLEASE,,,, don't use the popups that jump in front of everything and then you can't get them off.
ADMIN... would you please forward this letter to Mike.. many of the forum members would appreaciate it..
Hi Mike,
On behalf of the many, many forum members who military veterans ..
would you please consider a adding "Veteran's Section" like Escapees and ALL of the other RV forums have ?
There is so much vital and new information coming out every day that could benefit the RVing veterans who travel around America both part time and full time..
As you know, once a thread had been posted for a few hours or days, it is shuffled to the rear... way back on page 8 or page 20 where most of us don't bother looking because it's old news..
But with a Veteran's section, the latest information is right up front and the RVing Veterans will know that any information concerning them will be in that section...regardless of how old it is... it will be a thousand times easier to search for...
Please Mike... This RV forum is full of Veterans who would appreciate your help on this issue..
Thanks,
John

TWO CENTS WORTH
The story goes that a man died and was approached by the Devil who told him that he could buy his soul back for a dollar. The man searched his pockets and could only come up with 98 cent. While begging the Devil to forget the two cent he was short, an Angel happened by and hearing the Devil laughing, asked the man, "Would you mind if I put in my two cents ?" The Devil got so mad that he exploded in a puff of smoke and the man's soul was saved. The moral: Sometimes putting in your two cents worth makes a difference.
