Yd - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Brittie123 · 08-10-2004, 11:46 PM

Hi everyone!
I'm Brittie1234567 on YD, Mia's mom, and I've been working all
night because I decided we need to take matters into our own hands. I know
there are some great forums out there to use, including this one, but I know we all like the
format of YD and its hard to teach us new tricks! :-) Well I'm crazy so I made one! Its similar, not exactly the
same, its more like spoiledmaltese.com. Its got PM's and everything, it
doesn't have an album section but I'm working on it to get one! Hope you
like it, let me know what you think! I can always shut it down if no one
uses it, but I thought I'd give it a shot! ;-) Take a look:

It doesn't seem very appropriate to be trying to get (steal?) users from here to join your forum. The owners here have been very nice to all the displaced people from YD, even welcoming them with open arms (even when most of them just want to talk about YD being down). I've been to a few other Yorkie forums, and they don't even seem to be very nice, I even recall a message on an MSN one bashing this forum!

I'm not quite sure what the moderators think, but this just doesn't sit to well with me, to be promoting your own competing site on this site which is already successful, with quite a few active members. While it may not have as many members as YD, I enjoy hearing about everyone's Yorkies here and I like the atmosphere. And I've seen lots of questions being answered for new members. Plus, this site doesn't seem to have many problems keeping the site up. Just my two cents...

Brittie123 · 08-11-2004, 12:51 AM

I didn't mean to offend anyone, and my intention was never to steal anyone away, this is a very nice forum. I enjoy reading your comments very much. I am not trying to compete, please accept my apology if it came off that way.

Hi Honey, boy we have some very talented people on YD, creating forums, starting their own business. I 'm always amazed at what can be accomplished with determination. I signed up a few minutes ago, it looked great. I know I'm new here but I guess I'm a huge fans of forums and the more the merrier for me. Take care :-)

Luvmypupster · 08-11-2004, 05:24 AM

Oops, forgot...My little Mia say's hi to your Mia :-)

Gypsy Rose · 08-11-2004, 05:50 AM

I'm one of the "displaced people" from YD and I have been very glad to be here - I'm sure none of us meant to upset you! Ana

red98vett · 08-11-2004, 06:03 AM

Personally - I LIKE having a few forums to jump around to - If I have seen all the posts on one.....I can try another...

I can see people who I know, and meet new yorkie people too ! but the BEST THING IS.....

I GET TO POST LOTS OF PICTURES TO NEW VICTIMS !!!

& I get to look at Yorkie babies from all over the world !

YD was my main picture posting forum cause it was so easy and you could BLAST everyone with multiple pics - but I have posted quite a few here and there - and enjoy all of them - !

Brittany - There can never be too many Yorkie places to go ! I liked your new forum - they all have something unique and there is room for everyone !

Chanel & Cherish send Kisses to EVERYONE !

When YD went down the first time and came back I decided to stick with both YD and YT..I like both and pop into YS also..but perfer this one.

Luvmypupster · 08-11-2004, 01:44 PM

I like both too..I guess I spend more time here and at YD than others but I still will pop in from time to time.

Chelsie1978 · 08-11-2004, 03:10 PM

Hey silvi..I dont think brittie is stealing any members from here..how many members were there before us YD memebers came along..like 4?

Luvmypupster · 08-11-2004, 04:48 PM

Brittie little site is very nice and user friendly. I'm an avid forum poster so I think it's great that she took the time to develop one.. It makes me want to try my hand at it!!!!! All the good names are taken , what would I call it?

Umm, there was well over 1900 posts before YD went down and some new users came on board. We had at least 150 members as well.

Also, I'm quite disappointed you badmouth us on other forums. I feel the community here has always been helpful and open towards new users. There's never been any restrictions of any sort and all talk is welcome.

Luvmypupster · 08-12-2004, 02:40 PM

I do enjoy posting on all of the forums. Each one is a little different than the other and has it's own personality. :-)

max's mom · 08-12-2004, 07:41 PM

I am a very polite person....but I have been itching to get online all day. I have an opinion about the bad mouthing of this board on other forums.

This is a great relaxing slower paced forum for Yorkie owners. We have a good comraderie and support system. There is no competition or exclusivity. We are just people linked together by our love for our little guys and girls.

It has always been receptive, warm, friendly, welcoming and willing to share ideas and opinions.

YD members were warmly received. There were many postings about your frustrations concerning the demise or troubles keeping YD online. Silvi was not the only one trying to be patient as you decided if you wanted to stay or not. YT was used as a sounding board for your members and as a way to commuicate with each other. I stepped back for awhile to see if we could return to real interaction and exchange outside your interests in
YD. So for goodness sake, if this forum is not for you then feel free to go where your needs are being met.

I personally like many forums, many websites and many yorkie sites. However I have the courtesy to enjoy each one individually for what they have to offer. I certainly would not critique any of them on another's forum.

My favorite one is Yorkie Talk. It is full of kind and considerate people. I like the pace and the personal feel. So thanks, Yorkie Talk, for months of relaxing hours spent with each of you. You are the best!!!!!!

I quite agree that all forums are different and I have enjoyed being here. As you say , all have something different to offer and above all there is the true love we have for our yorkies and sharing in other yorkie stories etc and getting to know each other. I hope we are still welcome here now?
