An idea to All Producers

[jhop220]

I have been apart of these forums for going on 10 years now. (wow, I can't believe that)

I have seen the evolution of our community from just a small little site with free pictures and clips to this grand place with a lot of video producers and some great entrepreneurship.

I understand that the videos and pictures produced is a business. Most of you are living a dream of making money off of your fantasies. As a business, it is all about making money and trying to produce better quality then your competitors.

I am posing a proposition to all producers.

One day or week out of every year: you all come together to give back to this community that we love so much. Every producer gives back by producing ONE free video per year. It could be at Christmas or maybe the anniversary of these forums.

Perhaps, during that week you can hold an interactive sort of way to produce your videos. Hold polls, hear ideas, and really allow every one to get involved. I think it would a dynamic that could only further your businesses.

A week dedicated to the people here where we can choose the type of video and all of you produce it for no charge. I understand hesitation to do it, but I feel if you do that it can only benefit you by allowing people to get a better understanding of your particular production. It will allow a longer preview then say 10 seconds like on Clips4Sale.

After seeing this place grow from what it was 10 years ago I seriously believe it would benefit everyone involved.

Presents are better when spontaneous and not requested or expected.
Back in 2008, a producer donated a ten minute clip of Madison Rivers free of charge because he felt moved to do so. It was a sweet surprise, but I don't expect such things regularly.
But suggesting all producers should give back to the community, Christ, they already are giving to the community as it is. There's way more material flowing through here then there was ten years ago. Requesting even more free material, jezz.
Not a producer, but in the past, I have posted one minute long clips from my private sessions to give back to the community, only to find out some smeghead was posting them to DailyMotion. I donated them here for fellow TMF'ers, I didn't mean for them to go elsewhere like that, so I stopped sharing.
You got the idiots here posting other peoples full length videos for free. So it's not like it's the friendly cuddly place where you can leave your shit laying out in the open and expect it to still be there when you return. Those days are gone, buddy! I'm just thankful for this place being here.

You can find videos free online all the time. No need for the producers to lose out on more money.

...to be fair, some of us already do this every year anyway - at Christmas and at random other times too!

I just had a quick search through my own posts, and count 23 free downloadable clips (not previews) I have given away on here over the last couple of years:

Some of the older links may no longer work, but I guess most of them should

My whole point was to have more of an interactive week. Have polls, open ideas, and fun with it. Not just about a free video but inclusion from everyone. A sort of annual interactive celebration for everyone

I have a better idea - people "give back" to the community by not complaining that producers don't give out enough free shit.

Polls? C'mon, don't we already have enough threads full of "feedback" (read: bitching) about what we don't like in videos? Don't producers already get pirated to Hellenbach?

Producers already give plenty to this community by - wait for it - making videos for us to buy, rather than just churning out spanking porn like everyone else.

Many producers HAVE given back to the community in free clips. Not just Turtleboy, though he may have been the most generous. And he certainly hasn't given away "one" clip a year, way more than that.
Not including all the free pictures he gives away for free.

As Phineas said, many producers tolerate much requests and much complaining.

I appreciate the HELL out of the many acknowledged and used requests in videos throughout the years.

Fuck, Tickle Abuse is going to do a Pantyhose/Nylon Stretch Gang Series as the next version! Woo Hoo!!!!

There's an enormous amount of stuff the producers "give back" to the community.....

(ohhhh I can't wait until all this "Occupy whatever," ...now it's "Occupy TMF" bullshit tides over. I say we keep with the requests, because we're paying customers and we're allowed to do it, dammit!
But we spend 2012 being more appreciative of what we DO get. How many producers, at least 4 or 5, now take the time to offer high quality preview clips, along with the low res ones attached to the forum threads?! Both of those take time, and when you add to the fact that many tickling producers don't even visit the forum to ask what we think, much less offer previews at all, the ones that do make the effort deserve some special recognition.....)

Look, I realize that my idea was flawed as many of you pointed out. I like requesting and everything else. I guess my whole point was to make it an event. I see now I have no support with it so thats alright. It was flawed idea, and hell I apologize to those that think less of me for it.

When we have the "Annual Tickle Video Festival and Awards" similar to the Cannes Film Festival or the Sundance Film Festival or the the Spirit Awards and the producers and fans gather in some town or city and there is a week of screenings and discussions and general fun and celebration then we will know we've arrived as a mainstream community. Maybe the "Best of Tickle Vids" day(s) could be added on to one of the growing number of tickle gatherings. Heck, I live in Hawaii and think this would be a great place to hold an international tickle gathering that included a tickle film festival. Imagine all the side deals going on with tickle video producers trying to make the best distribution deals. A place to parade tickle vid stars and starlets. An exhibit floor with video producers hawking their wares along with those selling the best tickling equipment (and with live demonstrations!) So who wants to help me organize? ;-)

I completely agree with your line of thought and we're cooking up a few things to do our part to work toward a more solid community.
