I don't know if this helps, but I subscribed for a year to Ticklespot, in May 2000. Their claims of regular online Live Tickle shows were a joke. There was only one, and Realplayer continually and then permanently bounced me out of it, saying the server was full.
However, the site was still Excellent value for money, as there were so many downloads and pictures. The downloads when joined together (so to speak) made up several video length Tickle sessions (including the online one I missed). So in that respect I was well satisfied with my Year's subscription. I didn't however order any videos from them (for location (UK) reasons, I will cover in a future post)
But I begin to get an inkling they might be in trouble, as the new Tickle downloadable sessions began to get further and further apart. Thankfully I decided not to renew my subscription, as since about July, the site no longer seems to exist.
This is a shame because the proprietor Charles, came across as a genuine member of the community. I can only assume he ran into some insurmountable difficulties, rather than trying to rip anyone off.
I would be interested if anyone knows more ?
