Hi,
I want to take this time to thank the TMF for giving Tickling Emporium the Golden Feather Award for Best Non-commercial Site of 2004! And I especially want to thank TickleMantis for nominating the site.
Tickling Emporium is basically a labor of love, as it allows me to share several personal interests with like-minded folks, such as art, computer technology, design, and of course...tickling! I've always envisioned the site to be a kind of "gem" on the web... an evolving source of pleasure, relating to our mutual interests and passions. Unfortunately, I know the servers don't always seem to be available to everyone...I hope that will be corrected someday. But I do promise that as long as TE is up and running, I will try to make it as pleasurable, diverse, erotic and as fun as my resources allow me!
A big kudos to all the winners! Bear your feathers with pride. And a special congratulations to all who were nominated; that in and of itself is a great honor.
