It's too bad you feel that way, I don't expect all my friends to agree with me to that extreme.
I mention it because it has been implied that those signs may be why we lost our art and the person with the sign that i know knows the TOS but put it up anyhow!

Shame on you for being so small-minded, Adeline. This goes way beyond silly political artwork in game.

I had a good run in its earlier years and seen it decline which is sad. We have lost good players in all ways here and some unrightfully so, why others kept their foot in the Yō doors that should have been kicked. It's all at the point of a guessing game with no recourse.
I understand exactly how you feel. I've spent less and less time yoing and more time with real life hobbies and projects. My decision came after they stopped giving us full themes and so little store content per theme. I kept hoping that was just a temporary thing but since it's been close to 2 years I think it's permanent and they chose to put almost everything in the ge's, and gambling events as well as packs. I won't purchase the packs. If they can't bother putting it in the store I really don't need it. I love the game and can play without buying but part of the fun for me was going through the new decor releases and having a ton of stuff to choose from.
I appreciate you responding back thank you.I like you haven't spent any money on those bundle packs ever for the same reasonings'. I want to choose the Items I like for decorating not what someone feels we all should have it's like living in a cookie cutter development and that is not my kind of thing. I'm not saying it's wrong I personally just do not like that. So, with that said I have spent less time in game and more in things I enjoy in my real life. I will be going away for a few weeks soon (camping) and taking my shoes off when I get there and feeling the earth between my feet
And seen somewhere I think on FB or even in this thread can't remember where diamond painting sounds relaxing so giving it a whirl

No matter where we are in life we all are being controlled by someone higher than ourselves, but we do not have to feed into their wants, we can make our own choices. The ones who own this game make them not us, but we can choose to say enough and that is where I am at this point. I will be here until the end, but my wallet isn't opening like it used to, now that is my choice as they made their chooses to add to this game what they want as the owners and that is their right. So, I feel if players don't like that well don't click in.
I will always feel really badabout those who lost their art on paint boards and we ALL my really never know all the why's, we all can speculate which in the end doesn't matter it happened and I only hope they come up with some resolve I feel would be the right thing to do. But then if any lawyers are invalid not sure what they are told on how to handle this situation.

No proof at all that it wasnt political art boards or faces that caused this. BVG has left many to speculate and form theories that it nvolved something extremely officially sick and criminal and involving children. But No proof!? But the days leading up to the disabled boards Trump art by MANY requests - looked like they were selling like hot cakes, and player got all upset with a seller for having them and threatened to report. 1-2 days later.... Voila. Timing wise. So yeah were going to speculate because BVG has given no valid reason for the detruction they caused. And as far as anyone offended by Trump boards that many players Ive seen requesting asking for...... do you know how much diversity is on here? They had a White house theme Obamas face in frames masks and some of their free items over time are from a certain political side and stance released into this game. So politics was already in this game without players bringing it themselves, personal beliefs and views and stances even social issues. I usually ignored what didnt interest me, Im not a Trump fan-- nor right or left they both equally suck -both parties but I didnt get offended at obamas face on here or if I see a Trump sign BIG DEAL! lol I carry on enjoying my game I OR I did up until now. ? Sadly I cant proceed with such a destruction of mytime an $. What a mess of everything Ive done all the purpose defeated. . I am unaware there were rules with paint boards no political figures or art of them as that woudl condradict the white house theme and Obamas face floating around on the game among other things released into game. Regardless , my game was heavily wrapped around the boards hundreds of rooms homes tours galleries events showcases 25 room avatar shop to sell and so much more. My game was killed regardless of the reason. I would hope this destruction an dimpact wasnt over politics if so it could have been handle ddifferently addressed if they didnt want it in the game. Notthsi action though. Unforgiveable My whole investment and enjoyment and mian thing I do on YW gone now. Imnot stimyulated enoiugh playing dress up looking pretty an ddecorating home after similar home. I need more substance than that. I dont see any substance left for what I ejoyed doing, kille dit for a few of us sure some will carry on ifthere game was not 90%+ wrapped around the boards. A portion though its affected. Period. The impacts will be felt eventually Im sure. It sure isnt foing to flourish the game losing players and $. So., again no proof what it is but the fact is days leading up to the boards wiped Trump faces were selling like hot cakes. I wont rule it out. No proof to do so.Im not happy and Im not going to pretend to be. No copmepensation could ever workmagic wave a wand to the destruction of hundreds of scenes and rooms. Id be here forever just cleaning up the mess they left behind.

Impossible. How do you earn back support when you've nuked years of work and creativity -- and thousands of dollars -- we cannot get back? What an idiotic hope.
You've taken away the only actual creative part of this increasingly formulaic and regimented failed exercise in mandated conformity: the paintboards. You've rendered years of work and pages on your site WE have crafted UTTERLY RUINED AND USELESS. For the creative portion of your paying audience, there is NO REASON TO BE HERE unless we choose to feel misery and pain. (Nope!) And certainly we have no reason ever to give BVG one more penny. BVG owes US whether we choose to stay or not. And I will not.
The "compensation" had better not be in-game crap. What you have done is UNFORGIVABLE. You've taken my money, so I want MONEY I can spend outside of any BVG or gaming site. That part of my existence is over; I will never trust again. BVG will never get a penny of mine or a second of my time again. My attorney may, in the small chance that suing is an option, but BVG will get no more of my time or money. But we deserve compensation for what you in essence have stolen from us.
I've said this for YEARS -- and now you've proven it for the entire world to see: You don't give a hoot about your paying customers. That you imagine any more than a handful ultimately will remain after something like this... just wow. Do you understand the depths of the damage you've done???? The suffering underway that your filthy company has created and unleashed?
BVG is foul.

The words in this set of posts are just perfect. The tone is exactly what I've had so many others tell me about their feelings towards their Yo experience. It's not one thing that anyone can identify that does it to them. It's all of it. The delivery methods. The lack of content. The huge disruptions in the few things that are still fun - paint boards. The gambling. Etc etc
And I love the line "...this isn't the game I grew to love..." It most certainly isn't. A few things have gotten better, but too many things have evolved in the wrong direction. And the serious hiccups like paint boards, only serve to wake people up so they realize just how far off center this game has gotten. Maybe the old Yo we love doesn't generate the revenue needed to keep it running? But that doesn't mean we don't still miss that. I think most of us plod along hoping for a glimmer of that part of the game every now and then.
I wish it was different. But it's not. Enjoy your vacation Miss Candy.

I used to love camping when I was younger and we did it a lot. We haven’t in a long time. I’m too stiff to go and lay on even a blow up mattress any more. I hope you have a wonderful time. As to the diamond painting. Just to make sure you have all you need I recommend watching a video of one being done. They are very relaxing and a lot of fun but there are some tools that just make them a little bit simpler to do. Bring a tray that has a lip around the edge to work on because the darn little pieces can easily fall off the table. Good grief I have had to erase numerous message my grand puppy keeps trying to send you lol. She wants my attention and keeps tapping the keyboard. Silly little girl.
