Banned Info

BANNED FROM TY SITE

HEY, READ THIS NOTE THAT I RECEIVED WHEN I TRIED TO POST ON THE TY SITE :

Userid Denied...Your userid has been denied access to our system. This is due to one or more users acting inappropriately in the Beanie Connection under your account.

BECAUSE THE FOLLOWING WAS POSTED :

TY says BBs cost $5...now CLUBBY is 5.99 + shipping + tax + 10 for KIT!!..Mail order now??...When do they arrive? Next year like his beanie shipments?...Certificates not had after 2 months!!...The saga continues...

Has anybody noticed that that new CLUBBY only costs $5.99?? TY states IN WRITING on HIS site that Beanies should cost only $5?? Then they add shipping, taxes, and you already shelled out at least $10 for the KIT!! MAIL ORDER now?? If it's anything like his shipping schedules it might take 2 years to arrive! People are already waiting over 2 months for their CLUB certificate!! So the saga continues....

I really find it difficult to believe that a nice person like Father Ty would do this on purpose. A little critique never hurt anybody, and maybe it might even help to better his organizational skills! It is just probably another of his sites technical glitches.

It won't show my email even if I mark the box and most the time it says "Document Contains No Data". No wonder it takes so long to receive anything from Ty, they spend so much time in areas trying to control things that are none of their "business". I'm sorry you were banned, but I agree with what you said. Take care, Ramona>>

No kidding!! He couldn't care less who sells what, at how much or where-- be it at a beanie show or on the internet auction sites in original bags of 12!!!! He knows how to keep the hype up-- and his rottin image!! IF he was so concerned about the dealers charging more, why didn't he add info on where to send your crooked dealers name? How about all the cute stuff on that Beanie Club Ty Site?? The site sucks-- you have to have specialized plugins to use most of the sections, and that SECRET PASSWORD is a complete ripoff!! ANYBODY can logon to the site by entering "800" or "700" and almost any sets of three numbers for the remaining boxes!! WOW, what a bonus for spending $11-25 for the stupid club kit!!>>

I am also a victim. I am a mother of five grown children and a grandmother of nine, and would never even think of posting inappropriately! I have learned that this is the work of a hacker who has been trying to destroy the Guestbook and the Good Trader's List. Ty is aware of the problem, but has a lot to deal with right now....irate users feeling very insulted, a totally messed up website, a hacker who defies apprehension, and new releases coming out. Hopefully this will all be taken care of soon. For more information, please go to the Good Trader Site at http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/Cottage/5621/index.html. Cindy has spoken with the people at Ty and has more information. There is also an address there to write to Ty. (I tried the phone number, and they will not talk to anyone but retailers right now!) They also never answer E-mail, but I do believe it gets read. Even though I have received threats and email with pornographic sites listed with the Ty name as the sender, (sent by the hacker of course), I will continue to post my alerts and updates in the guestbook as long as my user ID doesn't get bombed! You can try connecting again with a new user ID, however that has not worked for most. I guess all we can do is be patient and be comforted in the fact that we are not the "bad guys".. We didn't do anything wrong! Thanks, and have a good day, Pat >>

We quickly found out that our modem was faulty and we could not e-mail or send messages at many web sites. We signed on to Ty on friday and almost immediately we were blocked from posting messages on their guest book. They stated that we had behaved inappropriately. Since we couldn't get into the guestbook to begin with we couldn't very well misbehave could we? I read (this is all we can do) in the guest book that some one just turned in numerous userid's and Ty without investigating just blocked away. I have sent e-mails to many to count and Ty won't respond. Can you advise of an address that I can send an e-mail that they will respond to? We did nothing wrong. I posted a message some where else to see if this happened to any one else and I was inundated with message after message. I can't believe that this has happened to so many and Ty simply ignores every one. Please help if you can thank you-Shelby>>

Thanks for all your letters, emails, and phone calls to Ty. Persistence paid off!! The Guestbook problem appears to be fixed. Please try to reconnect using your original User ID and password. Please put your email address in your ad as it seems that part isn't fixed yet. Please let me know if it works. Thanks and good luck, Pat>>

WOW, it is working again. All this negativity for nothing!!
