YT Dying Out?? I know that this is gonna generate a whole bunch of negative responses, but doesn't it seem that YT is in it's death throes?? So many of the old timers have jumped ship - it's sad! I miss all the old timers who were so experienced with Yorkies and had great advice for everyone. I understand that with a lot of other social sites, myspace, facebook, etc people have moved on but........ Seems like it's not the same site anymore |
I have not been around as long as you (joined in December 2008). But I agree. I think it's been in a rut lately. |
Interesting- I find it to be the most active dog site I have ever been on- most other sites, I could go days without going on and there might be a new page or 2 of posts- here when I just go 8-10 hours during the day without getting on there are too many pages of new posts for me to even read them all. Obviously, there are always time when people are more busy with there real lives and can't get on as much- but if someone has an emergency there is always someone here to answer them immediately. |
Ditto. I come on, read and leave, it is just not the same any more. What can we do, as a group to make things around here better? I can honestly say that I miss the "old" YT, I've been here awhile now and have seen many "friends" go, but why? |

I remember leaving for 6 hours and coming back to a ton of new stuff. Now I can go on vacation for days, come back, and it barely takes me time to catch up. But I think every community, forum, etc, goes through things like this. Different cycles and stuff. I'm sure it will pick up again. |

I admit a lot of the people I used to talk to when I first joined are gone, but I still enjoy the site. Hey...you all are still here! Who do you miss? Maybe you could contact them and encourage them to come back! :) |
I know that for some time a while back - there was a lot of "bashing" as to people's opinions and that may have turned some people off about posting their true feelings, but that seems to have cooled off a little - so can't really explain why some older members have drifted off - but it's sad and I miss them and their extensive experience with raising Yorkies. |
I haven't seen a slow down in posts. We average ~1,000 a day. But the past 2 days we've been above average with 1567 Friday and 1348 so far today. It is summer in the US so that does tend to slow the pace down a bit, but right now there are still 170 people online viewing. Members come and go, but YT's been around almost 8 years now I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon. :) |
I agree with all of you and in some ways it's actually better because of the lack of "cliqueishness" ( is that a word - LOL!!) But I really enjoy all of you and your new ideas. |
I was just wondering if summer and vacations had anything to do with it. I remember the bashing...made me avoid anything controversial. And, at times I was afraid to make a comment on an innocent thread for fear of having people jump down your throat. I'm glad it is not as bad, but still makes you wary to post at times. |
Maybe it'll be a kinder, gentler YT - we can only hope -LOL! This is still the FIRST site I come to when I'm worried about Sadie and a new symptom she might have!! |
I haven't posted in awhile because it seems like there are more off topic subjects now. I joined this forum to learn more about Yorkies. Anything else that is posted here that doesn't regard yorkies I'm not interested in. |
A lot of people I talked to when I joined in 2009 aren't active anymore, but there seem to be so many new people every day. I am on YT a lot more than I will be when school starts, I have to go back to work. I think it is a great place and lots of nice people. I do notice that people join but never have post on their profile page they just post in threads. Couldn't live without Yorkie Talk. |
