Do you even come here for your fetish anymore?

[Deleted member 66627]

Or is it just the incessant drama we seem to fall into every once in awhile? -- Has the novelty of the tickling aspects of this forum worn off, or are you still enjoying discussing all there is to discuss about tickling?

 

[emilyemilyemily]

i still like coming here for the right reasons. this shitstorm of negative vibes has been really uncool, and i wish people could chill.

Yes. I spend many a time masturbating furiously to the fodder in the VidClip corner.

In terms of actual forum interaction, I'm going through a phase where I'm enjoying the TK discussion more than the general discussion. It fluctuates, though, depending on my interest in specific topics.

 

[General Zod]

Yes

I usually stay away from the drama

 

[venray]

I still enjoy clips and images and Gen dis is fun when you ignore the dweebs that post only to see themselves talk...

 

[meangry]

I post here for whatever reason I feel like at the moment.

 

[Goodieluver]

I come here looking for a job, whats this tickling stuff?

 

[unclebill]

Great thread, Crystal. I still enjoy the TMF for the vid clips, image section and gatherings news. The TMF is second to none in that regard, but what has happened to general discussion is a damn shame. That used to be my favorite section of the forum, but the know it all`s who insist on getting in the last word in to prove their online superiority have taken it over. Is there really anything wrong with simply expressing your opinion on a particular subject without being ridiculed ???

The very fall of the hippie movement had everything to do with a repression of negative vibes to satisfy a counter culture movement during a time where conflict was deemed far too vile.

Healthy, argumentative discourse is a very good thing, and for the most part, there has to be a trust in the base of people that doing such a thing is actually worth while. We have so many active posters from different backgrounds that it is impossible we can all get along. Sometimes it comes to blows and it looks horrible, but I honestly believe it is only in rare instances where these things are actually as horrible as they appear to be.

You can't have a vibrant, constructive community without those negative vibes. I think that what has happened recently is given far too much headway because there has been a lot of really nasty blows. But aside from babyshambles, I honestly don't see how any of it has really crossed the line to where it ruins this forum.

I'll also say that if there were no arguments, if there were not folks saying their lines and trying to put themselves over, this place would be extremely boring. Perhaps the biggest asset TMF has is the fact that there seems to be something exciting or odd going down at any one moment.

It isn't about ridiculing or any of that. Again, what good is a discussion if your opinions are not put to the test? If your opinions cannot survive the fires and rigors of defense, how can someone ACTUALLY maintain them?

The drama is going to happen with such a diverse of personalities here. I try to stay away from it unless it hits me in the most cutting way. I do come here for the tickling but have found that interacting with people and getting to know and even meet some of them is now more of a draw for me.

I have learned a lot here and not just the art of manipulating photos. I have talked to and met friends from seven different countries who's patience have helped me to learn things about them and myself.

So I guess that though the basic tickling aspect of this site is what drew me here, the people I meet keeps me coming back.

oh, i absolutely agree. i just think that the drama that's been happening here is unnecessary and exists to such an extent that it's pretty much useless for anything other than pissing people off.

did that make sense?

 

[Goodieluver]

TV has TNT
Internet has TMF

Logo is and letters are close

 

[AngelOfDarkness]

I come here for the friendship.

 

[Tickle Fiend]

I don't remember the last time I checked out anything tickling related on this website. I come here for the sports forum mainly. I'll also check out what's in the genereal area and the politics area.

ya pretty much the same here there are more important things in my life then tickling

It does. I do disagree, but then again, I am one of the main culprits for upsetting other folks if I am understand things correctly. But it is only slight. 🙂

 

[naughtylucy]

I came for the porn and stayed for the banter. But I still like the porn.

I wouldn't say that the chat on the forum is life-changing, but it's nice.

I do come to post and read about tickle-related topics, but since I'm here I also like to contribute to the General Discussion and P&R Forums. I love researching and discussing religion, and some times I come to the forum to check the P&R section only.

 

[milagros317]

Yes, I come here for my interests, principally tickling and women's bare feet.

Spending time in the SSF doesn't detract from the stories, clips, and photos available here.

 

[vladtickleman22]

To be honest. I don't know why i come here.

 

[Ghris]

Main reason I come here is and has always been the clips, artwork and videos. To be honest, when I originally registered it was so I could get access to the clips.

However, I started posting on the other side of the forum - tickling discussion and general discussion - and enjoy it. I read a couple blogs, post to my own (even if it is a bit crap), participate in anything I can contribute to meaningfully. I stay the hell away from joining in with any drama, though this doesn't stop me reading the threads where it happens. They're good for a laugh sometimes.

 

[starburstz91]

I think I just come here because I get really.. really bored. However, I have made some awesome friends on the TMF, so, I tend to come here for them and to post around, I guess.

 

[Sandrock74]

Yes. I spend many a time masturbating furiously to the fodder in the VidClip corner.

I spend my time here furiously masturbating to Artoo's postings. LMAO!

No, really, I have found myself spending much less time here than I ever have before. I skipped a week recently and then another two day break after that. We'll see where this trend leads...

 

[Skipadeedoodah]

I definitely don't come here for the drama. As much as I'm guilty of getting involved in arguments, I really don't enjoy it. I think this forum has seen enough arguing and drama this summer, and I'm quite ready for it to be over.

That having been said, I totally still come here for the tickling. I've never been one for stories, art or clips, but I always peruse the TK Discussion forum for anything interesting as much as I poke around Gen Disc. for anything and everything else.

The only thing that I'd say I come here for more than the fetish is the community (auwwww) and to keep up with the friends I've made here. But I do that via phone calls, skype and IM, too, so coming here isn't necessary just for that.

I look at it like, if this became The Anything-But-Tickling Media Forum, would I still come here? I would, because of the people, but I'd seek out a tickling community somewhere else as well, so yeah, it's still important to me.

 

[desdemona]

I checked this out when it first started for stories and art. Chat became another factor. As did meeting with some folks. Then, gatherings. But it all pretty much revolves around tickling. I haven't joined other sites that stir me to this level.
