Can you provide an example of someone "being an asshole"?

PS. I think posting stories that very obviously are not true in the True Tickling Stories subforum is pretty asshole-ish. ;)

Well if they took down every story that was untrue from the True Tickling Stories subforum we wouldn't have that subforum....lmao

I was referring specifically to the stories that are very obviously untrue, not just garden variety untrue. ;)
 
You know you don't have to respond to this anymore. It was probably about to fall off the first page of GenDis being almost a month since the last post. Now it's at the top again.

I'm not here as often anymore, but I see that you still post a lot and are still very easily upset. At some point, the focus moves from 'people need to be nicer to him,' to 'this guy sure complains a lot, maybe he's the problem.'

I just think it would benefit you and everyone around if maybe you took the time to see how your character comes across. Sensual, though an active member, is somewhat of an instigator. I myself have a reputation for being argumentative, though I've been trying to work on that. Point being, there will be no end of bickering anywhere on the internet, even from long-time members - the less you react the more peaceful your experience here might become.

Hopefully, this isn't interpreted as another attack as that's not my intention at all. Take it from me, one of the more disliked people around these parts.

Best of luck.

You have always been one of my favorite people on here, even if you don't like me as much as you used to.
 
My question is, if we can no longer update this website, how long till it ceases to function due to being outdated?

Can we prevent this by creating a brand new website for the Tickling Forum?

Sure, come up with the several thousand dollars for the new software license for an up to date platform, Hire someone to install it on a server and get it functioning (HDS our tech specialist is sorta busy these days for huge projects and may not be available for periods of time) so toss another K or so into the cost pile.

Then you'll have a new forum that has no history, lacks the dozens of links across the web, and has no google profile. And no member base either. No media, no posts, just a blank slate.

So it is doable.

Our hope is upgrade the forums software, and preserve its history, media and all that in place. I just costs a shit ton.

Historically Jeff has funded this place out of his own pocket for the last 20 years, and he could probably buy a pretty damned nice HOUSE for what he's spent here in the last two decades. He's been trying to raise funds for the software and slowly they are accruing. But it takes time.

Almost no one here realizes how expensive it is to keep a site like this up. No one is charged a dime to post, look at the media, use the chat, or whatever. The generous advertisers like MTJ and C4S help defer a measure of the monthly operating cost, but not all, so Jeff is still writing a check every month.

None of the staff that takes care of things (Like HDS above, me, or the other mods) is paid for any of the time they drop here every day. And on big jobs like software updates you might be asking for a full 24 work hours for HDS that he will see nothing from but bitching about down time and the millions of little issues that have to be stamped out later.

There is a real reason there are few other major fetish oriented sites like us on the web, it's hard to maintain on a zero dollar budget.

I really regret that the aging of the forums software makes things harder to use here. Trust me I'd love a shiny new forum with all the newest tools and functions that have come along. It's frustrating to have to juggle browsers to see a post or media here, it's annoying to not be able to attach something to a post for no reason anyone can see. Hopefully we'll manage an upgrade in a year or three.

Until then the forum is basically stable and functional on all the basic levels.

Interesting. I was under the impression the software used to create and maintain the TMF was out of date and could no longer be updated. Your saying it is possible to update it? How exactly?

Please calm down dude. I'm not accusing anyone here of anything terrible. I'm simply asking questions.
 
If you re-read Myr's first sentence in his reply to you, it should answer your question.

Also, isn't this whole conversation a little off-topic for this thread? This thread is garbage anyway lol
 
The forum can be upgraded to a new current version, which will keep everything here in place, and just stuff it into a shiny new modern forum program.

The current software works, but it simply slowly is having a harder and harder time conversing with modern code in browsers and thus producing the errors that you see.It will keep working for a long time, but become more frustrating to navigate, and eventually require an old browser build. That's still most of a decade off, but we are trying to address it now, and are trying to raise funds to buy said license.

And I'm quite calm. I was simply explaining what the backside of things is like here. Users see the forum, its media, chat and so forth as a free welcoming place they can explore and enjoy, and that is exactly what we want. But there is the hidden side that it all costs someone in dollars and time to have it here for all of you.

We know we are old and creaky. We are trying to improve.
