Hi everyone. It's been years since I've visited this great forum. I've got some things to say and things to ask.
1. A very warm hello to all of my friends here that used to chat with me back in 2000-2008. I wonder how many of you are still around here? Please speak up and respond if you are. It'd be a trip down memory lane.
2. In your opinion, how have tickling videos changed from my days until now? I know the picture and sound quality is much better, but what about the content?
3. What is your best memories from "the good ole days" on this tickling forum?
4. I cannot imagine how many new people have joined this awesome forum since I disappeared. People that were probably 5 years old when I left are probably on here now.
5. Who's some of the best current tickling video producers ... in your opinion?
6. What was your favorite 3 "models" from my old site realtickling? (and why)
7. What is your all time favorite tickling video that I was a part of back then?
I can't believe I used to sell tickling videos on VHS tape!!! How many of you today ever even used a VHS player haha?
Anyway, mostly just wanted to say hello and see who's still around here, and express my wish that you all have a great summer.
Tickler In Black
1. Hello and welcome back to the Forum! You have been sorely missed! As one of the people who caught you at the tail end of your TMF interactions (years 2007-2008, mostly), I always had the feeling that you had left too soon! It is really a pleasure to see you down here again
2. As you said, aesthetically, the videos are much better. Except for FTKL (who went from MTJ's greatest artist to become a video producer; check him out if you haven't), videos tend to be less "written" than back in the day. It's mostly "tie up a beautiful girl and tickle her", 90% of the time. That change was impulsed by the resounding success of Tickle Abuse, IMO. The tickling got slightly better though, with either better "acting" (FTKL and the like) or better intensity of the scenes depicted. I also like that most producers try to vary the angles a little bit more than in the past, with more closeups and stuff. Although Realtickling was awesome when it came to that too: I used to really dig the little inserts of the face and/or feet in the corner; I'd love to see more of that.
In general, I think there was a willingness to experiment back in the day that is almost completely gone now.
3. Apart from chatting with you?
😀 I miss interacting with some members who are now gone, especially artists: Scavenger, FTKL (as an artist), BAC, Kittentoes etc... Also, there is this guy I had befriended who was gay and was gone because he got harassed too much by some idiots here on the forum. It was quite sad.
4. Well, the very first time I opened the Realtickling webpage I was quite young. That was back when you shipped VHS and DVDs (I don't think there was direct download yet). One of the newest videos on display was Dungeon of Reversal. I will never, ever forget the feeling I felt when I saw the picture of these four female hands on either side of Kristin Lea's impossibly flat belly

I'm now 32, by the way
😉
5. FTKL for his campy "VU come to life" style. He does stuff that no other producer does and in a way that belongs only to him.
Tickle Abuse because of the amazing 'lers and 'lees they had (Tasha, Jade, Brooke and the very underrated Dee).
Tickle Intensive for being very true to their name and having put together some of the most intense videos I have ever seen. I highly recommend Maximum Punishment as a masterpiece of the genre.
Frenchtickling for making French girls appear like the most beautiful gals on Earth.
Czech Tickling for having some of the best videos of all time, period. I love the sheer variety offered, the great angles and the unrelenting tickling.
6. There were many good models, but my all time favorites would be:
Priscilla James for her magnetic charm, the sheer pleasure she seemed to take in tickling girls and her sexiness. That voice, OMG

Or, more prosaically like Wolf said: "duh!"
Kristin Lea for being so beautiful and for the impression she left on me as a teenager.
Audrey Dupree for her hysterical reactions. She was in some of the most intense videos you've ever produced, particularly the ones wherein
you are doing the tickling.
Honorable mentions: Jackie French, Elke Jenssen and the three girls from that amazing POV video you shot back in the day (TC5197; I don't know the models' names, but I love them!).
7. I'll have to dig into my folder to answer this question, but if I remember, there was a couple of pretty intense ones with Audrey Dupree that really impressed me back then. You are not the most gentle kind of guy, and I love that
😛
My parents still use a VHS player, but I am glad I never had to use it to watch tickling videos. Having them shipped from the US in the early 2000s would have cost me quite a lot and would have been a bit hard to explain to them, at the time
😉 I can tell you, I welcomed digital downloads (and my first credit card) as a real blessing from the heavens
Lawd yes, and you and I got it at the same age. LAWD....
Jesus, you're right! I am the age of Christ! Welcome to the 30something's club! Spoiler alert: in about one year, you're gonna be crucified
😀
Other than that, it's funny how you censored the spelling of your own title, o Lord!
