Just as I was getting interested in pursuing SFX as an alternate exchange company, I notice the 'Ask SFX' Sticky at the top is gone. At least I thought there used to be a forum there, or am I mistaken?

They have it on a different website. I don't think there has ever been one here.

SFX participates at http://www.timeshareforums.com/

Is it OK Brian to post that here? Otherwise OP won't know where to look.

I was always surprised SFX pick that over TUG. Perhaps TUG would yield too many requests and there is less volume over at the other forum.

I could have sworn there was a 'Craig' who used to answer questions. Guess I got my wires crossed on SFX being here.

Thanks, Sandy. I didn't realize TS4Ms was still around! Sheesh! I used to pay a membership and pop in once in awhile, but just ran out of time.

doesnt bother me at all if you post that here, unlike other sites we are more than happy to allow folks to be linked anywhere that actually helps them.

although it does not appear there are any recent posts in the ASKSFX forum there, with the last reply coming in october of 2016, with the last one before that in 2013.

Actually it's in 2017.

Mark @ SFX posted the latest sell off list in March 2017
and there was a question about Maui trades answered by Mark in January of 2017.

Although the traffic has been light to say the least.

Mark will usually answer within a day or two.

Maybe I'll ping him and see if he'd consider moving or adding the TUG site for forums. We get enough SFX questions in the HGVC forums to warrant it, IMO.

Didn't a Craig (Urbine) used to answer questions years ago (perhaps even on the old TUG forums) for Interval International?

SFX was more than welcome to participate with their own representative on TUG, they declined...but the offer still stands if it would be a benefit to owners.

as for II, we do have a special dedicated email address for TUG users to submit any questions directly to (its a sticky in the exchanging forum) that II provided to us...its proven quite useful to plenty of owners (me included).

while II doesnt have an official representative on the forums to answer questions, many of their employees certainly read the forums behind the scenes!

This is why I am not a fan of too many stickies. I skip right over the stickies every time and go straight for the meat of the forum. I figure I have already read the stickies, so why do I need to look at them.

Bingo! You are right, and I thought about that last night but didn't get back to this thread.
And I have heard folks mention Mark, so it must have been a reference to 'over there.'
