| I see so many positive nice comments just from the people posting on this page. As long as there are others who mean well, and are kind, patient, understanding and forgiving I believe YT will thrive and continue to be a positive, helpful, and definitely fun place. Now that I'm newly addicted to the GEs, what in the world would I do without them?! I think if more people were encouraged to, and did, take place in the GEs the atmosphere would be even better. Our "village" would grow closer.

| I guess I'm considered an oldie. Most days I still check in a couple times-I may or may not post. Yes, a lot of the older member do not post as much as before but you will occasionally see them post. I think some times life just gets in the way. And sometimes new members join and learn what they need to know and go on from there (just like any other web site you search). Yes, we all have opinions and may sometimes get in someone's face but all in all it is generally because of our love for animals and a need to protect.

| I rarely post, yes you could call me a lurker, i think i am one of the oldest posters on this post. I have become friends with many people on here although it may be in private. I have seen some of the best of the best come and go and will dearly miss all of the knowledge that these people have been so willing to share. I have learned so much from them and through them and YT have had the chance to meet some very well known show/breeders and some very nice pet people. YT has given me the oppertunity to learn and reach people i never would have met otherwise. YT (and my mentor) has given me the oppertunity to have my dream come true of having my first show dog in the ring this year, took me 7yrs but the wait has been so worth it, i am so very proud of my boy. Sure there is and will always be drama in such a large varity of people, but that is life in general, only you have the choice of either ignoring it or joining in on it. I can not thank admin enough for allowing us to be a part of this forum and all that it provides to people all over the world. Thank you Admin!!!

| Yt goes through different types of periods. There may be a particular group that does alot of the posting on here then gradually that group thins out and the forum goes through a slow period then a new group will develop and on and on. We are in a slow period now

| I have no idea how it was but I can tell you I see more new people almost everyday. The breed is so popular and there are so many that need help with new puppies and learning how to buy a puppy that I hope those who are more experienced will stay around to help those starting out and will stand up for the breed that they love so much. |

| I'm pretty much a newbie, but love YT. I can not tell you how much I have learned and how much better you have made Cali's life from the changes I have made listen to you folks. I pretty much got "slammed" early on with a question I asked, but it didn't ruin my life and many came through and answered my question. Frankly, I like that people have convictions and are not afraid to be true to their defense of dogs and especially Yorkies. In general I find your folks to be very smart and nice And I appreciate your generous sharing of what you have learned about Yorkies - If it weren't for that Cali would still be itching and not come to love being brushed because of her new shampoos and conditioners

Sure, there will always be people who are missed - but there are always new/more people to embrace. Sometimes, when the board slows a bit (ie, certain seasons) - it seems to encourage less frequent posters to post more, and I love that ! It shows me what I've been missing when they posted less. Sometimes people go through spurts in terms of posting too. For example, sometimes I'm in ER/Health/Diet a ton...and other times, I just need a break from those 2 sections. My fave section, hands down, is the Animal Welfare section - but it can be tough emotionally in there - so sometimes I take little breaks there too. Just depends. So, I do think people take breaks for varying reasons. From time to time, we hear something like "it used to be so different" / "there were never disagreements like today" / "everyone used to get along". Simply not true. Everything that happens here today (good or bad or indifferent), has happened here since the beginning.

| I read the rules and regulations and got so confused. I have 4 so it would be hard to choose only 1 dog. I am still thinking about it.

| I've thought about that, too. I wonder if anyone has considered having two different spending levels to the GE...one for the "Yorkie Shopping Addict", and one for those who just want to exchange one appreciated item or so?

| I too, love it all! And, it's my choice what threads I opt to read or not, that works for me.

| It evolves. Will always be some disagreements, and heated exchanges, but that is how life is. I think it is still just as good, if not better. My favorite poster will soon be back after all the TX shows. I like the Off Topic myself, but also General, Health, Training and Rescue. Now, anyone else into Hog Hunting? |
