With the recent influx of traffic/posts on the Wyndham forum, we reached out to HitchHiker71 and he has graciously accepted the role of moderator on the wyndham forum!

Please make a point to thank them for volunteering to help keep things running smoothly, and please make a point to help ease them into the role by not making life extra difficult while they learn the ropes =)

Thanks very much for reaching out @TUGBrian!

I look forward to the opportunity to be of added service as a moderator here on TUG moving forward. To the many Wyndhamites here on the Wyndham forum - please don’t hesitate to reach out with suggestions on how we can improve the user experience here on the Wyndham forum.

For my part, I want to take a fresh look at the Wyndham forum stickies and ensure we have the right content easily accessible for both new and old TUGGERs alike. Any suggestions along this line, or along any other line, would be most appreciated.

Great to know that there are still people who will volunteer to moderate an internet forum. I always appreciate their efforts and I always neglect to express my appreciation for their work to keep this forum more helpful than hurtful! Thanks guys.

Thank you for all you were already doing. You and @Richelle have been a tremendous benefit to Wyndham owners through your efforts to improve the Wyndham website. All the mods on TUG do a great job and you will fit right in. I can’t wait to see what you come up with to improve the Wyndham forum.

I gotta get a new mouse - my current wireless mouse is starting to have issues with the buttons. I deleted the duplicate post.

@HitchHiker71 Good luck!

Count your blessings. It could have been worse as you could have been made moderator of the COVID-19 forum.

Thanks much!

And thanks but no thanks on the COVID-19 forum. I already have a full time job!

Thanks for your reply. If you have any ideas on how we can make the Wyndham forum user experience better, I’m all ears so to speak.

My forum handle “HitchHiker” is what I’ve used since forums came to be in the mid 1990s when the internet started really maturing. I probably have had memberships on a hundred forums since that time across a broad range of topics from education to relationships to cars to timeshares. The moniker is somewhat representative of how my interests shift over time. I had also read a series of books by Neil Howe and William Strauss on generational history that classifies generations into four archetypes: prophets, nomads, heroes and artists. Gen X - my generation - is a nomadic generation - so HitchHiker also fit well as an emblem of my generational archetype. Here’s a list of how the generations match up to the archetypes:

I’m not associated with the Lifecourse website in any way but this was the website that popped up on my Google search when looking for this info just now.
