Hi guys.

My name is Jo. Formally known as CrystalLight. I have been a member here for a few years and have had the pleasure of seeing new members joining and contributing.

So, being the nosy human that I am:

- How did you find this forum?

- Are you enjoying it so far?

- What would you like to change or add to?

- Where on this forum do you normally prefer to hang out?

Did you know that if you click here, you can provide a small monthly donation to aid the forum into becoming even more of your own personal wonderland?

Jo, you know me.

Mitch.. Ladderlad, etc.

As those who read my profile are aware, I've been a member here for 16 years.

When I first joined, the forum did not have all the security features it has today. It was probably about 5% of the size it is now, with only a few thousand members.

As I've mentioned in my posts before, I had a straight male pen pal who was into tickling. Tragically, he passed away at a very young age, shortly before I found this forum.

I initially found this forum, by typing in keyword "Tickling" on AOL in 2002.

I started visiting the forum in August 2002.

Myriads registered me with my permanent name, Mitchell, on Sept 9, 2002.

I go all over the forum usually.

I'll read stories, post in the various parts of the forum, etc.

One of my favorite sections of the forum,, is, of course, the P and R forum.

I often go in there to read and post about politics .

The members of this forum are very important to me.

My friends in the TMF were of incredible assistance to me during the illness and death of my mom between 2010-2012.

I consider this forum a very important part of my life.

I don't know that I would "Change" anything.

For me, it seems to be fine just as it is.

I was scouring the web for tickling stuff..i found it then checked it out..i think it took time to start posting...i def love the forum..im normaly in silly stuff

 

[milagros317]

I bought a copy of Tales From the Asylum in a NYC porn shop in 2001. In it, I saw an ad for the TMF and checked it out.

I enjoy it a lot.

I hang out mostly in the Silly Stuff Forum. 😀

I went to yahoo.com and typed in "tickling" and it was the first or second result in 2001

Was great for the first 6-7 years.

Would love to see more done to make those that dont fall into straight male ler category to feel welcome. Reimagine the side bar. Try featuring a pic of the week that isn't m/f or f/f showcasing only white folk for once.

The forum desperately needs more sympathetic and caring moderators. At least one active female thats not an Aunt Lydia would be nice.

Better chatroom

Not allowing creep shots

I was searching for tickling stuff online and stumbled upon it. I lurked for awhile and finally joined in 2009. I still enjoy visiting everyday and nowadays I mostly hang out in tickling discussion and tickling video clips section.

 

[rdhd]

Was originally on Tickle Theater, and somehow came across this site. Members of both, until TT cratered. Been here since. These days, mainly on the P & R forum, and the humor (Friday Night Yuks). But, always also check the images and the video clips, just in case.

 

[CrystalLight]

Thanks for letting me perv your replies and suggestions, guys. I hope that some of them come to pass. 🙂

Hi, Jo!

- How did you find this forum?

It was quite some time ago but I'm sure I was scouring the internet for tickling content (like a kid in a candy store once I realized what was available to me now that I had internet). I noticed there was more than just pictures and videos here so I decided to poke around (pun not intended) and join up.

- Are you enjoying it so far?

Don't think I'd still be here if I didn't 😛

- What would you like to change or add to?

I guess the easy answer is the chat functions. The chat room itself quite clunky but I really don't see how to improve it without it either being too much of a hassle for potential traffic or being even clunkier than now lol. I do think the private messaging system could be better, but again it would be difficult to improve practically...

Oh! How about the ability for pictures to auto size themselves when they're too big. Sometimes they're so large that my entire screen is a single pixel of the image I want to look at, haha.

- Where on this forum do you normally prefer to hang out?

Eh, I'm a bit of a drifter I guess. I bounce between the general discussions, tickling discussions, the celebrity belly forum (thanks again for that one, Jeff!), and the chatroom. Depends on what I feel like looking at when I log on.

It must have been back in the early/mid 2000s.

Prior to that time, I was scouring the Internet for anything tickling related that I could find, but I didn't want to sign up for any forums (because I took the 18+ admonishment very seriously). The stuff that was available back then for free was... not great. Even the stories I managed to find were mostly garbage. I of course, found this website, but didn't sign up - forbidden fruit I suppose.

Around 2005 I finally started to come to terms with the fact that I have a fetish for tickling. I was incredibly conflicted about it. So at the time, I made an account and posted here about the issues I was having at the time, and looking for advice from others who perhaps found themselves in similar situations. This helped me a great deal. But once that was resolved, I left again, with a mind to not overexpose myself.

A few years later, I decided to come back, but I forgot my old account information and made a new one.

I was also underage when I began surfing the web in the late 90s, the internet had only been a common thing in homes for a few years then... and of course had my little fateful moment of typing "tickling" into a search engine one day and quickly figuring out that my curiousity and sexual interest in it was something that others out there also felt.

TMF didn't exist yet, the first site I visited regularly was NTCweb. They had a chat room and I talked with people and often made people who talked with me nervous and afraid I was putting them on an FBI watch list or something when I would be truthful about my age, which was 16 at the time.

Eventually, NTCweb was gone, and the TMF became the big site for tickling fetish. I lurked a while and joined in 2002, as a legal adult this time. 😉

I left the forums almost entirely from around 2007 til the end of 2017-beginning of this year. This was because I was in a serious relationship and eventually got married and had kids, and he was not into tickling fetish, and as I was monogamous I felt uncomfortable with continuing to chat with people here and didn't want to seem like I was looking for something outside my marriage. We separated and are now divorcing so that was the reason I came back. 😉 I was shocked that the forum looked almost EXACTLY like it did the last time I visited 10 + years prior to that 😂😂

I am mainly active on Tickling Discussion, General, and the stories forums.
