Re: Tickleworld
Yeah,
As always, the naysayers continue to bombard our posts. Even Golfer, who said he would not be doing that anymore- what happened to that B.S., golfer?
Anyway, it doesn't matter a whit. We did on several occasions post some of the POSITIVE emails and compliments about the site, but that doesn't stop those who don't like it from bashing it, and of course it will always be that way, because let's face it- negative, whining comments are always more fun, aren't they? It's BORING to hear how much someone liked a site.
What Sue and I always come back to is the fact that we plainly state that our site is not and will NEVER be liked by every tickler out there. Any site that claims that EVERYONE will be satisfied with it is just dreaming. That being said, we continue to have our loyal members who have been tickleworld fans for almost two years now, and that is all we really care about. When Sue and I started the site, we knew from the start that it would not be a means for us to "get rich". We just sincerely love tickling and wanted to share our collection with others of the same mind, and show a few clips of real tickling for a change instead of all of the content being the usual "staged" crap. Our low club dues ($5.85 per month) barely covers our monthly bandwidth costs, hosting and site maintenance. So those like Golfer who continue to insult what we're doing just don't have anything better to do with their time (sad really).
Here's another interesting point that one of our members who joined us last June made, and that I have come back to time and again- If you don't like our previews, you DON'T HAVE TO JOIN THE SITE! Let those who like what we are doing join, and those who don't are free to spend their money elsewhere. We certainly are not forcing anyone to join, and we refund the dues of anyone who is not happy once they do join (If for ANY reason you are not happy, just email us a mailing address and we will gladly refund your dues in full). So what is the point of continually badmouthing us? This member went on to say that we should tell these losers that if they can do it better, than by all means start your own site! But no, it's much easier to sit back and trash something someone else is doing. It's cowardly, and it's typically the domain of people who have very limited, if any, vision or success in their lives.
So here's the bottom line- everyone is free to decide for themselves if they like tickleworld, and those who don't never have to be out a single penny. That leaves these poormouthing, negative losers nothing to whine about. And yet still they whine..... Go Figure!
In closing, many thanks to all of you who have enjoyed the site and continue to be loyal (BTW, it's somewhere closer to 4,000 than 4, but nice try- you had the first digit nailed!) And sure, keep up the poor mouthing because you're right, all it does is attract more business!
Happy Tickling to All,
Mike & Sue

BTW: Golfer, Sue and I got a real kick and a laugh out of your little "playlet", we think there may be a future for you in writing plays! Here's another one you may find amusing: (It's a monologue, an aside, if you will....)
Golfer: "Gee, what will I do today? I know! I'll say somthing bad about ticklworld, I haven't done that in a while. I really should get out more, maybe even get a girlfriend (boyfriend?). The only thing is, I never can come up with an answer when they say no one has to join the site, that they can decide for themselves, I just skip over answering that and keep running their site into the ground. Hmmmm.... Is it possible that I may be a pathetic loser??? I can't seem to argue the facts or address the fact that anyone who joins t-world can get a full refund if they are not happy... what does that leave me? Oh well, let's just badmouth them again, after all, it's so much fun, and the physical demands on the brain required to do it are negligible, and the geo-political ramifications are few!!! I'd better hurry though, I've got that AA meeting to get to, and I still haven't registered for the special olympics!"
Just kidding of course, Golfer- after all, the play will be about you, so it'll have to be a comedy!!!
