We've been a lurker on both sites since mid to late summer of 2010. At the time I was interested in what people had to say about pods, good or bad, as we found out how much a tent trailer did not fill our needs. My wife was unable to assist much in setting up and take down, not that she didn't try.
I do have to say both sites really made deciding buying our pod a easy and informed purchase. When our dealer received his shipment of 2011 models, we we're there the next day. We looked at the models to see which one we liked best, and basically bought it that day.
When we got home, we signed up to both RPod-Owners and the other one. Next day our account here was activated, how ever the other site still has not activated our account there

. It has been about 2 1/2 weeks so far, and I tried to send a email to the admin a couple of days ago. If that is how they treat new people, I think that this site will catch up and pass them soon enough.
If I come to run into fellow podders, if they are not members of this site already, I will be letting them know about RPod-owners. If enough members did this on their travels, we could pass them fairly quickly. Also may I suggest to the forum modiators that maybe having a email address or two to send a message to if their account isn't activated in say 5 days, they can send a message to someone to activate it for them.
