Sadly, many of YT's long standing, very experienced members have chosen not to post here any longer because they didn't experience the "agree to disagree" respectfully YorkieTalk tradition.
I am reaching out to some of the "oldies but goodies" who are MIA in hopes that they will "come home" and start posting and participating in some of the fun activities life Gift Exchanges and the off topic games. |
I am sorry, but I disagree with this comment. No one has ever been treated unfairly on this forum. They didn't agree to disagree...it had nothing to do with not "experiencing" it. It was all in their acceptance of rules. Many of them wanted to make this forum what they wanted and they simply could not succeed so they grabbed their marbles and left. The others...well Facebook has taken the place of online forums.
Some left after the ME mess....we all remember her and the havoc she wreaked. Many followed that hateful woman and went to other "nice" forums that all failed. Why? Because they really were not "nice" to all...they all had their little agendas. YT has always been one of the more balanced forums. We ALL have had our little issues here....I have been suspended for things that I felt were unfair...but, at the end of the day I had to learn to follow the rules. I don't make them.
Good luck with bringing folks back....most of them have chosen to stay on Facebook...it is a trend thing more than anything. They all have "excuses" but at the end of the day that is ALL it is...excuses. I have seen some come back and leave again...heck I even do it. I get busy and don't post for a while and suddenly feel badly about it and come back.
I don't know who your "oldies but goodies" are....I think that new and old are all "goodies". Everyone who chooses to post here is a "goodie" .... we may not all agree with one another, but we all have one common love...that of the yorkie breed.
It certainly cannot hurt to reach out to people and try to bring them back, but, not with an "agenda". YT is not going to change to suit any of us. It is what it is....and I believe it is a very well run forum. We are very lucky that Admin, Jenny, and Ann have stuck it out even during the slow years.... and the absolutely insane ones.
