Where have we come? Where are we going? Forward, backward, stagnent? This is the topic of this thread. There were a few magazines, a few internet resources, a few video companies, that supposedly sucked...maybe not... Who was around then, what have you all seen of this history? Where are we going? Who were some "famous individuals in tickle history?" Were they good, or bad?

I have a few ideas about the future:

-Will tickling become mainstream? I say no, or probably not, but more on that in a later thread...

-Digital cameras are getting better and better. Videos will become higher quality. (no more grainy VHS-C low lit shaky cameraa crappy videos...) HOWEVER, talent and performance will always be top priority, (laughter, directorial talent-can you light well, keep the camera steady, NOT TALK WHILE TICKLING...or talk as little as possible, only as needed... dress the models in newer ways (once again, more on that in another thread also))

-DVD recordable technology and computers will make editting better and produce higher quality pieces..more angles, no long boring spans... DVD's will not get shredded in a VCR, and are small so can be stored easily and with little space. Their quality will never degrade!

-More companies will emerge, since there are enough companies now that require people to become competitive and create better work. The viewers will be the ones who win out!

-Other companies and websites (Nylon Fantasies, NylonFeetLine.com, etc.) will begin creating tickling work (These two HAVE on my request, but are going slowly...they need a little prodding from you guys, the more who ask, the more photo shoots will be created.) We may even discover ticklephiles in their ranks....

-This community is so unique, a flame free forum, with great people, some of the best on the net, if you compare you guys to the whole of the internet! More and more people will join and this community will be a force to be reckoned with, though we will do no harm, only make people laugh! Our influence will spread to places like Danni's Harddrive, some I may not even know about, and they will create tickling media and will attract some of their people.

Who knows? One thing is certain...YOU must create this change, it won't happen on it's own.
 
Great Thread indeed, mabus!

I agree that this community will definatly go far.
A community is only as good and successful as its' "residants".
The local "government" is not bad either!😛 :devil: 😉


AS for the rest....modern technology can only improve and the demand for authenticity and advancement will only increase.

Great thread! I think the community is headed in the right direction. We grow not only with technology, but along societal lines as well. 50 years ago, you were lucky if you ever saw a girl walking around in a skirt near her knees. 25 years ago, bondage was still pretty much in the closet. 10 years ago, ticklephiles, for the most part, thought they were "the only one".

We're shaping our own future.😎
 
I think the community has matured considerably. Whn I first got online and began looking for sites, there were a couple dozen to be found. Now, there are hundreds. People are being creative and expressing their love for tickling in some amazing ways. We have new video companies, talented writers, fabulous artists and so many more.

This segment of the community has also matured. We've gone from a bunch of individuals who like tickling to a family. Like all families, there's bickering and misunderstandings on occassion. But, we've learned to be civil for the most part and resolve things more peacefully. We truly care about one another. In many cases, that's no longer ONLY because of our common interest. We've grown to see one another as people and not just a name on a screen.

Yes, technology is continually improving and will aid us in any further advances. But, technology is the tool. WE are the craftsmen who will use those tools. From what I'm seeing, the future is bright indeed!

I think the tickling community is one big bomb just ready to explode (in a good way) 😱 😛 😀

LOL...thanks Jeff. You were so anxious to see it that I chose it for the signature. There's another good shot of me trying to get it off of myself. If you haven't already seen it, just check our site section in the internet communities forums. 😀
