The Pioneers Of Our Community

[CapturedDoll]

Who do you believe are the people who created firsts, for us? And please for the love of tickling... don't turn this into an agitated debate.

Max Speer: Nest

Yaqi: For introducing Tickling to the Mainstream

[qbtkler]

ParadiseVision for being one of the first established video production companies and tickle abuse for carrying the torch and running with it.

Paradise Vision was SO important. The first truly great tickling video company.

Somewhat honorable mention: California Star. Their videos were mostly terrible, but for years they were the only ones I could get access to in the pre-internet age (so I guess the fit the definition of "pioneer").

I had never seen this list before. Reading thru it brought back some memories. Thank you!

Two more obvious pioneers:

TMF Jeff

Morandilas of MTJ Publications

[Ticklishcowboy]

I was a big fan of Yaqi back in the day. He was one of the earliest sources of F/M material (my favorite) on the internet.

I think anyone who joined this forum in the very early 2000's (2000 - 2002) deserves some credit, because the internet was still so new and simple back then, and this website may have never taken off if people hadn't shown interest back when it first opened.

TMF Jeff

[ILoveLadyFeet1]

I don't mean to turn this into a favorites list, which is completely different from being a pioneer, but I will say Knismo from Stuck in the Stocks. I truly believe he is pioneer. His stocks are inescapable, his tool kit is diabolical, and his taunts are simultaneously playful and merciless. He's been driving ticklish feet insane for over 13 years, now!

[Libertine]

QBWeaver, superlatively organised NEST administrator and generous hostess of munches in the early 2000s.

Also DVNC, who roamed the world hosting gatherings in various states, provinces and countries.

[TicklishSurfer]

Definitely TMF Jeff and tickle town was the first website I ever saw before I found and joined the forum many many moons ago

Quite a list with lots of memorable past names(such as Venray,Paradise Vision,and Lily Haze) on those lists,for let's also not forget the contributions of Stacy Burke and Kujman,for with as much hate as he receives Kuj did help pave the way for tickling in both the renfaire tickling and beach burial tickling subgenres(both of which are popular nowadays).

For me it has to be Jeff as one of the first I took notice of.
Paradise was ofcourse a major influence.
Internationally I'd say Frenchtickling stood out for me.
And as mentioned MTJ and Ozzy for comics.
And really the TMF in general for how it brought it and us all together.
