I would avoid TUG.NET. Brian Rogers and the people who run his site(s) are extremely rude. If you have a question or comment Brian Rogers does not appreciate, he'll react inappropriately and unprofessionally. We paid for a membership, however, his site is not user-friendly and I personally do not care to support a site or person who is so rude and undeserving. I'd rather post my units for rent, gain knowledge and rent elsewhere.

I've not previously heard of anyone having a personal "beef" with Brian Rogers, the guy in Florida who owns and administers the Timeshare Users Group site. Moderators for the site's forum content are all unpaid volunteers. I have no idea what your particular experience may have been, but you are certainly entitled to harbor and express your opinion. I know of two people "booted off" TUG over the years; I believe that one of them now posts in these RedWeek forums.

There is a truly vast wealth of shared timeshare knowledge and experience to be found on the TUG site. There are also biases, personal opinions and subjective viewpoints often reflected in those forums as well. Personally, I'm grateful to be able to tap into such a vast wealth of knowledge; I can separate facts from personal opinions. More important, I am unaware of any better (or equal) source of timeshare information and knowledge and experience than TUG to be found anywhere on Planet Earth. If you are aware of any such other sources, please do share that information with us.

That said, I think RedWeek (this site) is a far superior site on which to rent timeshares, as either an owner or a renter. Quality of RedWeek's forum content however ........not so much.
