TIB is DONE, FINISHED, GONE.......

[jaba]

some lees are one of a kind......

In Brian's defense, I can see how doing if for that long would burn you out. If he sold his company and walked away, well, more power to him. I think he left behind a phenomenal body of work that we will all enjoy for years to come. I have my favorites to be sure.


If you look around and try something new and different, I will wager that you will find your new Priscilla or Kristen Lea.

Ha ha......I don't know about that....

For me, there will never be another Kristen Lea......

I don't know if TIB is gone or not, but I was just over at Clips4sale, and he has a new clip that was added as of yesterday (14 Sept)

 

[P[a]pi]

Jaba - Is it okay for you to post TIB's first name? I was just wondering...

About TIB... he made a lot of classics that will be remembered for a long time, maybe forever, as long as the tickling community (TT, TMF) stays around. And I have some personal favorites of his as well.

Peace out TIB, and have fun tickling chicks for fun. You contributed more than enough media, so it's okay to chill haha.

 

[Thanatos]

I wonder if this is how people felt when Dick Sargent replaced Dick York on Bewitched.



TIB (v 1.0): Thanks for some good clips.
TIB (v 2.0): Hope we see something worthwhile from your studio soon.

Is anyone else excited about Jessie's acquisition of Real Tickling? I AM! And I know I'm gonna get completely vilified by all of the TIB apologists around here but IMHO his stuff just wasn't up to snuff over the past couple years. And for those upset and saying that Jessie is just in it for the money and doesn't do requests I have a couple comments for you: 1) EVERY clipstore owner is in it for the $$$, ticklers who do it 'for the love of the game' don't record their sessions and put them up for sale. And don't misunderstand, I'm not saying that producers don't love tickling, but you're kidding yourselves if you think the almighty dollar doesn't play a role in what they do. 2) TIB NEVER took requests either, and I DEFY ANYONE TO TELL ME OTHERWISE. For the last couple YEARS before he 'sold out' the only clips offered on the site were of some nude or bikini clad girl strapped down and vibrated. Ok, I'm rambling on more than I wanted to so let me get back to my original thesis of this post: I, for one, and extremely excited about the new direction of this store. Is it a little shady of Jessie and Co. to not just come out and say that it's under new ownership (in hopes of capitalizing on the store's previous success)...YES. But I don't really care. I can gaurantee you Jessie will offer more of a variety than TIB has in years, and you heard it here first.

This is a shame

To bad, TiB was one of the best. Well maybe he'll pop up on the forum under a new name.

 

[TickledToDeath]

Question. If all this is true and he did sell off the domain and company name. Did he also sell off the rights for that person too call himself TIB? There have been recent posts and clips by someone calling himself TIB or did I miss something here?

That pretty much sums it up for me. It says a lot about how much Jessie respects the customer.

BTW, you do know this isn't a recent development, don't you? The change came months ago; it's just now becoming public. Have you noticed any sharp drop-off in those vibrator clips that you dislike so much?

 

[tklr22]

If that's the case Redmage, then touche to you my friend...and touche to Jessie I suppose for pulling the wool over all of our eyes. This actually raises even MORE questions in my mind. Are they really trying to appear as though the store has made no transition at all? Because I'm a big fan of her other stores and the scenarios in them do not include vibrating all of the girls. Even though I hated TIB's store I still feel bad for those people who think they are supporting him by buying clips thinking that nothing has changed. I think one big event that some might have missed was that Jessie actually just recently posted a clip from realtickling under her actual username here and not under TIB. Speaking of which, a lot of these questions could be answered if she would just reply to this thread. Until then, I'm willing to bet this thread (and mystery) will continuing to reign as the biggest issue on the TMF.

I grew up with his webside, the first realtickling.com in the 90's.
That time I studied -well user to- but after I found his page, I often
took a break, beside my work, to relax, to wait what video-clip, what model
will be next time.

One of his first videos was made on a roof of a building among an industrial park or something like this, with a grid around. The first video were just the way to the better once. Than he used to tie his 'lees on a "mat" to the floor within a large hall, like a film-studio... One of his first 'lees was Nicole Herzova.

Well I often asken -to that early time of this business- how is he able to find such girls, to let him do this to them -fantastic.

HE is and will be, one of the pioneers of our hobby of our interest.

Thanks TIB for that work and the sharing sample clips for free to us.

After all I can understand, that he is tired of this business after years...because it also was a job. one that most of us envies, but
such productions are not made by themselfs. It is lot of work -I know what I am talking about- and after time, it is as any other job, that you do for a lifetime. Beside another regular job, it will be much more stressful.

I think, he reads that posts here, from time to time,
...stay tuned and live prosper, TIB

ciao,
A
;-)

well said

I don't know what provoked his gradual apathy towards the tickling community - perhaps constant trolling and flaming from critics had something to do with it - but I do know that he will be sorely missed by a large section of the community.

.

Personally, thats the reason I believe he left. The tickle media biz is no wealth building enterprise, some folks rarely break even on their monetary investment, and I think the really good producers put a bit of their heart into their work. I myself would have left long before he did, but everybody has their own tolerance level, I guess.....

Why is everyone so sure that TIB is gone forever? Does anyone have inside information to that effect? No one has posted anything definitive that I have seen, only opinions and theories. Can't it be that he has become temporarily uninspired, as has happened to him before, and will be back when he's into it again, perhaps in a month or two? Can't he simply have worked out a deal with the company that has taken over his site to continue to post clips there, until he is ready to return? I cannot imagine that TIB sold the rights to all of his clips. He has always been extremely protective of the copyrights to his material. Perhaps he simply worked out a deal where the other company continues to post new clips in his absence, thus keeping his store "on the map" and earning money, until he's ready to return.

Why are all of the posts assuming that TIB sold all of his material and will NEVER return?

I would say because people are of two minds about TIB:

1). People that disliked his attituede or his clips. These people are happy to see him go and just assume it is perminant because they don't want him to come back and make more crappy (as in his late period, not his early great work) clips

2). Those that love TIB. These people presume the departure is perminant because they don't want to think TIB is deciving them with this transfer. The fact that he wouldn't be honest with his fans about wanting to take a rest and would do an under the table transfer is very hurtful to them. It is easier to presume that he is gone for good, rather than messing with them.

Of course I could be completly wrong, this is just a musing of mine.

 

[Deusxlionxx]

Man, I was wondering what the hell happened. I remember my wonder when I first ran into classics like Dungeon of Reversal.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly DID happen to all of his old models (Kristen Lea, Audrey Dupree, etc...) Are any of them still producing video content?

I haven't read every post in this thread so maybe someone mentioned this but... you guys realise that this is the same dude right?
