| Fakes? Do any of you suspect that just maybe there are some fakes on here? Maybe some of these people are posting things just to get attention? Do any of you people actually "know" one another or are you all responding to posts from fictitious people? All anyone has to do is: 1) get a free email account; 2) register here; 3) start posting! For example, Benji'sbuddy, I believe that he was a fake with too much time on his hands. Do you really believe that someone would deprive their puppy of nutrition just because he couldn't fight good enough? Or hold him out the window of their van while they drive down the road? I think he was a fake with a sick sense of humor! What do you guys think? I think we should all have to pay some sort of fee to be a member of this site, maybe that would curtail trolls from coming here and toying with people's emotions. What do you guys think? I am willing to do whatever it takes. |

| I think the Administrator (s) with Yorkitalk do an EXCELLENT job monitoring threads and keeping those who have difficulty posting the proper threads/posts. I personally enjoy those who I have been communicating too on a regular basis over their stories, devotions, and questions regarding their loved Yorkies. I have never once questioned their motives on Yorkietalk EVER!! It is possibly a shame to not have the ability to "trust" others and perceive everybody as possibly a "fake"....Life is too short in this world to be so suspicious... Again, this is an awesome site and I hope it is always around for many to enjoy!!!!!!

| I agree I think the admin. on Yorkie talk monitot this website very well. They kicked Benji'sbuddy off real quick. I also agree on the fact that we all talk and I love hearing the stories and Pictures(of course). I believe that they are telling the truth. Keep up the good work, admin. of YorkieTalk.

| Interesting message. While I love Yorkie Talk and would gladly donate money if it was needed - I really think if it was something people had to pay for it wouldn't be as popular. Anytime you chat on the internet, you run the risk of encountering "fakes" - it happens, it's sad - but we move on. As far as the incident that occured here - it was bad, but the admin dealt with it as soon as it was brought to their attention and I don't believe we can ask for anything more than that. This is a great bunch of people and I believe whenever we have something like this happen, we will band together and get through it. JMO.

| I agree with schatzie, we have to also be able to trust people. Maybe there is fake people on the internet, but i don;t believe that they would take the time to everyday post pictures, add their opinions and talk about their pets if it wasn;t really true. Maybe they just want to mess around and say some dumb things to makes us mad, but we have good administrator to act when needed. |

| Just to prove how good the administrators are - I tend to check on here quite a few times a day and I completely missed the Benji'sbuddy situation because they corrected the situation so fast. I agree that if there was a charge it might deter more people from joining. I've been here for almost 3 months and haven't really given this much thought, but that's just me, maybe I've oblivious to anybody out there that's faking.

| Good point....... Yes, I agree there are fakes on here, but they're everywhere. I know if I had to pay to use this site, I wouldn't be here. I can think of better ways to spend my $$. We live on a very very very (did I say very) tight budget, and I'm very lucky to have internet right now. I do love this site, and beleive we have some very true yorkie owners on here. I do beleive that adm is doing a great job here. I've seen worse. lol It's nice meeting alot of you. |

| Ditto!!! Our admin stays on top of things better than any I have seen!! Like bld2751 ... I check several times a day and I missed the "troll kook" too!! I think they do it for the "shock" reaction! We do have a great group here ... well ... there is Mary Ellen [Higgin's Mom] ... but as long as she doesn't forget her "medication" .... Seriously ... Mary Ellen is the only person on here that I have actually met [we were friends before Yorkies!!]! Like I said .... we have a great group here!!

| A Message For Puppylove Here is what I think--- I am furious and I think you puppylove should be kicked off!!!! How dare you tell me that you hope my little Dexter was a good baby while he was here! " it's just his soul I'm concerned about at this point. I hope the coals of hell aren't raining down on your poor little Dexter right now. NOT all dogs go to heaven!" You are the fake! I guarentee it! I read you sad sad story about your dog and I saw you take the opportunity to receive one of the caring members soon to be born puppies. My advise to other members is watch out for this member. Don't offer anything to them. Especially a sweet puppy that needs love. And to you puppylove- I took excellent care of Dexter. Your words only show that some people don't have good hearts. And just to let YOU know-- I feel no concern for your soul. I know the coals of hell WILL be raining down on you. NOT ALL HUMANS GO TO HEAVEN EITHER!!!!! To the editors: Thank you for deleting Puppylove's inconsiderate message to me. This has been such a bad week for me and it is nice to know some people still care! |

| I totally agree with you, Dexter's Mom. After she read that I was furious she had no right to say that I don't care who she is. I looked at here messages and I read the one about her puppy and I thought it sounded fake as well. Doesn't it seem kinda odd that she posted this topic, Fakes?. I was curious about that too and I was wondering if anyone else thought that as well, and ovious there is. BTW, I am very happy te hear that it worked out and you got a new puppy, I know it will not replace the one you had, but it helps a little. You are in my prayers. Good luck to you with your new arrival.

| Thank you. I know that she is the real fake! Her sad sad story does sound FAKE! She should be thrown off. This forum is for those of us who love our babies. And I know not one of us could ever say those words to someone who has lost the beloved baby! One day, she will relise she was wrong! |

| Dexter's Mom - I missed that comment by puppylove, but that sure does sound rude. I'm so sorry. I guess since the administrator already deleted it, it just goes to show how good they really are at this site!

| I don't even know why she said that, nobody saws that to someone in your situation. I can't even believe somebody would be so innconsiderate. I think that something needs to be done, as well. Nobody was that mean to her when she told us about her puppy. I am guessing it is fake. I wonder if anyone else feels the same way.

| Dexter's Mom. I am so saddened that you saw that message today. We were hoping that it was deleted prior to you seeing it. Bless you heart for all you have been through this week and then to be "slapped in the face" by an inconciderate human being. Just remember, what goes around comes around and they will have their day! We all know how much you love Dexter and you have nothing to prove to the true member's of Yorkietalk. Also, we are also happy that you and you have another puppy, Dexter 2 to love. Don't give that person anymore energy, you are the kind one, we know that! Rest your heart!
