We would like to donate towards the server, and will, if we are told how we can do so without the extras.
That being said.. ever watch dance moms? house wives, etc, etc? have to weed though that same stuff here. should be a "yorkie moms" tv show....that would get a new server for sure. There are about 20 people here who ruin it for everyone. you know who im talking about.
This website is invaluable to those of us who need advice...no doubt. just wish the moderators would start moderating the old bitties who have nothing else to do but spend their entire day critiquing every word out of every new users mouth.
Some of us have to go to work everyday, and do not have 24 hours a day to educate ourselves. We come here to seek advice, guidance, and information. Many of us are ignorant, new and uninformed. I would imagine we would need 10 times the server space were it not for the "regulars" who run most of us off. I also imagine that you would not need to ask, or hold raffles to earn money were it not for the these people.
Think about it. Do you have any idea how many people have yorkies in their lives that dont join? I know 5 here in my neighborhood that dont even know this site exists; and ive been embarrassed to tell them about it, for fear they might say the wrong thing here and get scorned. Those of us who dont know everything, just get attacked if we use the wrong nomenclature or simply do not understand.
Something needs to change around here.
id love to donate, so send me a pm on how i can do so without becoming a part of the yorkietalk elite.
appreciate so many here. So many loving people, that have given us so much wonderful advice.
Let me know how i can help. This site has helped us too many times to recall.

You are welcome to donate and only participate in the parts of YT you prefer, that's your prerogative. Also, when you donate - you can always PM me, JMueDog, or Admin and ask us to disable anything that you don't want as a result of being a donating member. For example, you get a bigger avatar etc - it's fine if you don't want that.
I'm glad to hear you've noticed how many loving/caring people are here, and especially that you've learned here and gotten wonderful advice. Of course, I'm also sorry to hear your disappointment in some of the members. Please always remember that the GOOD
far outweighs any bad here. I know that fact doesn't
always make it easier, but it helps with keeping things in perspective; and it helps with avoiding giving all of your emotions over to what you see as negative.
We try our best, admin/mods
and the members, to make YT a great place. Like in real life, there is a
huge variety of human beings here and of communication styles. We all have to try to tolerate the differences in each other, even when they make us feel like banging our heads against a brick wall. Every single one of us here encounters other members who don't do things the way we'd prefer. So, none of us have a pass on that feeling.
Also, feel free to report any posts that you think are breaking the rules that YT has in place. Those rules do strive to maintain some boundaries in the treatment of all members. I hope you post more so we can get to know you better. Even though some of your words were a bit harsh and a little out of line (which I thought you didn't like to see, in others), I still respect and appreciate your very honest opinion :).
