| Why? I am very confused I tried to sign up for ge and was told I have to of signed on to yorkie talk as of the first of july and you need 300 posts then I went into the rules and it says one month before as well as 100 posts so which Is it also why do you need a certain amount of posts it says so others can get to know you but I find I learn more from someone profile page then by there little blips of best wishes or prayer sent out anyway I guess we just don't join anything but it's sad that this confusion might stop others from joining as well as donating to yorkistalk in order to partisipate |

| Last I knew it's only 100 posts unless that has changed. And I imagine they require that to protect those involved in the GE from getting a buddy who has just been on only a few times and doesn't wind up sending a gift. If they didn't do that, then someone could sign on 1 day, join the GE and never send a gift and that would be a shame. Of course, sometimes that happens too with people who have more than 100 posts but I think it would happen less. You really aren't far off though so you could always get posting! |

| They posted new rules and that is what it says. Icopied this from the current signup thread. Apparently they changed it for this one. Sorry, it is 250, not 300. Oops! Please note in order to participate: - You are a Donating Member of YorkieTalk. - You have 250 or more posts here at YorkieTalk (before you sign up in this thread). - You joined YorkieTalk before July 1, 2009. - Please do NOT send your Secret Buddy any USED toys or clothes. Re-gifting a new item you may have received is fine, but any USED items are not allowed.

| I understand your disappointment. I was so sad that I didn't qualify for the last time.

It's really quite easy to get your post count up; not only by telling fun stories about you and your yorkie(s), but by going to the "Off Topics" forum and posting in the game threads, or by welcoming other new YT members in their introduction threads. Start a thread asking any yorkie question that comes to mind and reply to the replies that you get. You'll have your post count up in no time. Good luck to you and since you can't do it in time for this GE, I hope to see you join us in the next one.

| I was really excited and hoping to be able to do this GE, too, but I can't because I've only been on YT since July 14 not July 1!!! I guess I'll have to wait until next year since that's when it will be. |

| Like others have said, there are lots of way to get your post count up. If you're not comfortable answering questions, don't worry about it. Post pics or videos. Do some polls and give your opinion, welcome newbies, ask questions, review products in the product review section, play in the games section in off topic, post a treat recipe, or post a thread in off topic about something very random (lol). Anyway, it's it does help to get to know you. Otherwise somebody would be sending a gift to and receiving a gift from somebody that they have never heard of before. Besides, addresses are exchanged and it's nice to be able to get comfortable with your buddy before that happens. Now if you go through this thread and quote all of us that answered you indivually and respond to us, you will have 10 posts today.

| I think it is cool, it kinda gives ya something to look forward too!! I plan to be a donating member as soon as I get the money saved up to do so!! I also think that it gives me more time to look around at different things too. Also I kinda wanna know... WHO would give a USED toy as a gift... EWE is all that comes to mind!!' Also is this suposted to be from my baby to another members baby, or is it the Mama's and Papa's that exchange gifts?!?
