For the singles and looking among us

A reminder: www.open-personals.com - a free - communities driven dating site has embraced this community.

A "tickling questionnaire" is in its questionnaire pool and can greately assist people who are into it find compatible mates.

You are invited to join and use it.

Please note, that being free it cannot afford buying paid advertisement. It relies on us - the users - so spread the word by word of mouth - and not just in this community. This is a voluntary project, support it and please take part.

It is after all our interest too to have as many people in there. The greater the user base, the greater the chance is to find somebody right.

If, but the way, you are members of another online community, that you feel may benefit from its own questionnaire - do not hesitate to contact the site admin to promote its inclusion. Once again: the livlier it is - better for us all.

One other note: Some sites, aspecially in the begining when there are few users - add bogus users, so the site will appear more "alive" - and people will be more interested to register.

Open-personals.com does not do it, as it is, in at least one way, dishonest. Make honesty pay. This project will only be as good as the internet community makes it.

The link doesn't work for me. Was this idea that short-lived? Shame...

[deac95661]

it seemed to work well for me

The link never took me to the site it just showed me sponcers. Too bad sounded like a good idea.

The idea was definitely short-lived, maybe a month?

but the plug was pulled after several months of inactivity.

I was probably naive to think that the internet community would embrace anything but the capitalist model; I wanted it to be free, but one has to realize that "free" means that there was no sponsorship, no cash to pay for advertisement, no nothing. I pleaded people again and again to step up and give a hand. to gather a community; to build a questionnaire; to spread the word by word of mouth - so that the idea of a non-commercial thing like that would come to life... but nothing.

Nobody bothered to move their cute ass to help out. Moreover, even people in position to help out more than others (like - donate some advertisement space) were not willing to consider this as a service to the community. Hence, they did not breach the otherwise reasonable policy, that: "advertisement on our site is paid, to pay for our bills."

so, when people regarded the site as "yet another dating website", when they didn't even bother to read what the idea was, when the greatest investment they were willing to make in the idea is to register and write "about me: I love tickling" - I realized that I better pull the plug and spend the hosting dollars on something else. like pain killers, because seeing this work go down the drain was very painful.

Well you tried. Your idea could have helped tickle fans and made tickling more popular so I believe dispite the faliure your effort and idea was great, maybe you'll inspire someone else to do something similar. Edison tried many times before he successfully invented the light bulb, don't feel so bad.
