How did this all start?

In answer to toyou (with a fragment of your post 🙂

...bows head in memory of AMT...
Now then:
Of course there were plenty of early websites too:

Ticklegal
Tom's Tickling Page (What the heck was the name of that thing?!?!)
Solefully Yours

And so many more that I can't even remember anymore...
~ toyou

That would have been
Tom's Adult Tickling Site. Looked for it often enough --OMG That BLEW my mind when I first decided (or was able) to search online, ~1999-2000 to look up "tickling" and found FAR more than I expected!!!

Not sure how "old" these are, but I was also so (amazed/relieved) to find

Josie the Ticklish Pussycat's page...
SW tickle
No-Eyes Tickling Archive
Funnybone Storybox

still listed on the "links" page here --

Also TicklingEmporium.com, another fantastic & well-organized site which Feathery keeps quite fresh... I don't remember when I found that either, perhaps the same time I stumbled upon the TMF (soon enough after Tom's ATS)??
I still frequent that site as well, when I happen to be on

The pictures/cartoons on Tom's Site sent me reeling initially, I'm sure that was the first one I found, and I was SOOOO shocked & delighted to find not just a *few but a Motherload of artworks and stories as well I'm sure --- I remember his site for the extraordinary artwork primarily

with a lot of BAC as well of course...

WOW toyou!! That was a great trip down memory lane! I got my first taste of the community from Phil Donahue of all places. I caught a show that featured the Solefully Yours crew. I was in shock. That was about 95 or 96. Does anyone else remember that show or was I dreaming?

Unfortunately, the first website I found was FM Concepts. In my naiveté, I bought two of their tapes and was truly disappointed. But then I found ANA and my faith was restored. Toyou and Bondo's page was a favorite of mine too. That was a great time. I was a freshman in college. Everything was fresh and new. This is a great thread.
