Three Cheers For Our New Moderator!

[WalnutBaron]

Boy, the HGVC BBS neighborhood is looking trim and shiny, thanks to our peerless new moderator, Gary (GT75)!

The poll on satisfaction of ownership sticky was interesting, but particularly helpful is the extensive info on the new sticky with maps and room number locations for each of the HGVC properties. Fantastico!

Thanks so much, Gary, for your hard work and diligence. I vote we double your salary!

 

[GregT]

I agree, love the new information -- thanks Gary!!

 

[GT75]

I vote we double your salary!

Thank you for the kind words. With my new raise and $5, I should be able to get some coffee now at Starbucks.

 

[WalnutBaron]

Okay, then let's get generous...let's triple your salary! Anyway, thanks for your diligence and selflessness. We're all in good hands.

 

[Panina]

Maps and room location info, all in one place, is 10+. Love it, thank you Gary.

I agree great job!! its getting much easier to find information about the resorts.

 

[Helios]

He should probably expect a big fat performance bonus next year...

I agree, having all the resort specific info in one thread is so much easier. I am constantly doing searches and trying to go back and find info. I will go through what is posted and see if there is anything I can contribute for some of the other Hawaii resorts. I will look at other towers at HHV and the other Waikoloa resorts.

 

[GT75]

Thanks again, but it is easy to work in our forum because of all of the great contributors we have. I am glad that the resort sticky is beneficial. I am able to add those resorts that I know something about but I will need help with those that I really don't know anything about. So if I could have anyone familiar with any of the following resorts, please add to the sticky:

• All Orlando resorts
• All Las Vegas resorts (someone already added Elara)
• All Hawaii resorts except Kohala Suites
• New York
• Washington DC
• Miami

If you have any additional information to any resort already added, please post. I will add the link to the index list.

That should get us in pretty good shape.
Thanks
Gary

Great, this actually is my goal with the stickys. I have noticed the same thing. I have noticed that we (which mainly means "you all") answer the same basic questions over and over. It would be nice if we have those repetitive informational request answered in the stickys. We could then just point to the answer.

As the moderator, I assume you can go back and add info to posts. As the author I have 3 days, but then the edit button goes away.

I think I have another link to add to Lagoon tower, and my edit has gone away. I am assuming you can do this? Correct.

I will keep any changes or additions and send the to you together. They are at most a link to a few more existing threads.

Correct.

I think it is 48 hours, but it may be 3 days.

Yes, I can add them together. You can either post it to the sticky (I will then link the index to the post as additional information) to send it to me and I will add to what is already posted. Either way works for me.

I did speak to the Elite desk and they did say they had a project underway to improve and update the floorplans and other resort info on the HGVC website. I'm sure our info will be more detailed, but it is nice to see them put back on the website floorplans and other info that they used to have there, but took away in the migration to the new site.

Yeah, I had to go elsewhere to find the Elara floor plans (I think it was on the hilton hotels sub-site that takes you to Elara's site).

And yes, GT75 is doing awesome!

That is another thing which was on the old Web site. I am trying to pick them back up if I can find them.

I want to express my thanks to our moderator GT75. I wanted to find out about individual unit layouts at Valdoro and was about to post a query. Instead I found this great sticky:

Sticky HGVC Detailed Resort & Affiliated Information

You saved me a ton of time. Thanks for your hard work to keep this forum useful and relevant.

 

[GT75]

You saved me a ton of time.

Thank you. I am glad because that was exactly the purpose. We have now been going to Valdoro for several years now, both during winter ski season and summertime to get out of the Tennessee heat. We just love Valdoro and the town of Breckenridge.
