If one doesn't know what OY means, it is Over Yonder. A term used to describe another timeshare forum that had much more traffic than it had recently. I won't necessarily name it, but those that know will know what I am referring to.

I tried to go there just now and it seems to redirect to a suspended page link and nothing loads. The last time I looked, there was like zero activity happening. It seems that it has finally died?

It’s been inactive for a long time, I think because it was getting expensive to run. There is a Facebook page with the same name that isn’t very active, but gets posts once in awhile.

Most of timeshare forums activity, aka oy, is on facebook. The website has been slowly going extinct with many members just getting too old or passing on. It was a really fine group of people and a site that I like.

Many online groups that I had enjoyed have disappeared. Tug is the longest running online site I belong to but will face challenges as the members age.

I doubt that very much.

I did wonder why your name popped up many times through out the years. I always said you were OK in my book to those that had complaints. I'm saying the same for those oy. They are good people what ever your beef is.

A number of long-term, reputable Tuggers told me about this so your doubt is wrong.
