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.
Mike Schneider,
CEO, Affinity

Thanks Mike,
I certainly enjoy the Forum and have benefited greatly from it.
Having been an administrator of a large company, I fully appreciate the challenges it presents.
I think it is noteworthy that you monitor this board regularly and reach out to its members and the customers of Camping World.
(oh and by the way, identical multiple posts are not permitted here on the forum)...lol

I too took a big breath, as I was sure this was the Swan Song. I am aware of all the problems besetting Affinity, but to keep on track and re-dedicating the corporation to the interest of RVers is commendable to say the least. You get my help.

Wow,
Some of you think RV.NET is going away, and some of you think Affinity Group is going to start charging an access fee. 
Naive me, I just thought it was a very nice letter.
No wonder there is that rule against multiple posts!

Nice to see the CEO pops in from time to time. I like the board here but do wish the email notification when a reply is posted system worked.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was going to blame you.
The things that come to those that wait will be the scraggly crappy junk left by those that got there first.
