| No, being able to enter the gift exchange is one of the benefits of becoming a donating member. We have a post limit/length of membership requirement so that new members have time to get to know what YT is about and so that fellow GE participants can get to know one another as well.

| I am a new member and just started reading the guidelines of the GE and frankly I am surprised they are able to take the time to organize it. It sure seems like a lot of work, they gather the info, make the match, pass out all the info, make sure everyone follows the rules, they make sure the gifts are sent out, follow up if stuff seems to be lost and from what I gather even try to compensate if a gift is not sent, and LOL I am sure I missed a few thing. They also monitor the follow up, they make sure eveyone that gets a gift sends an appropriate thank you. You can get in the GE with just a $25.00 donation which helps the site remain current anyway. So in answer to your question, no donation; no GE. But the good news is if you like the site just donate a few bucks (at least 25) and then make some more posts and you will be able to be part of a GE very soon. I plan on doing my first one in May, so I hope you can join in then

I was in the last GE, and my buddy had PM'd me on the 8th that she got her box and would be sending pictures that night. She was logged on, on the 9th and the 10th and Nothing. Not even a quick Thank You on my page. This is day 15 and no action has been taken. | |

7. Receiving a Gift - Your buddy has put a lot of thought, effort, money and time into your gift. We believe that the least you can do is thank them. Please start a thread in the YT Gift Exchange Forum after you have received your gift so that your Gift Giver knows that you have received the goodies. It shows your buddy that you appreciate it and also lets us know that you received your gift so we know who or who did not receive their gifts. This is a requirement of participating in the Gift Exchange. We also require members to post at least three pictures in the Thank You thread as well, as members like to see the gifts being received, as some say that's the best part of our Gift Exchanges.

Administrator | In the Rules of the Gift Exchange, there is no set time period that a person must respond, thus we do give every member a chance to respond after we contact them, in case there was an emergency or if they were out of town or something. If we still do not hear back from the member, there will be action taken, from suspensions to bans to not being able to participate in any future YT GEs, depending on the severity of the problem. |
