I am reminded of when I had first discovered the term "foot fetish" in a random google search for "feet." I had no idea what the word meant, and I found it so intriguing. Then, those searches lead me to a website called Tickling Paradise, where I stumbled upon my first gallery of tickling photos and artwork. That's when I discovered that tickling was a "thing." My mind was completely blown! There were others out there, like I, who were utterly bonkers for tickling, and feet, and tickle fights, and laughter, and all that awesome sauce? NO WAI! My first tickle sample clip was the "superbowl" one, with the lady restrained in stocks, while her feet were relentlessly tickled. She had such a cute geeky laugh. I could hear the fingers scraping against her soles. I wanted more... more laughter, more tickling, and more goofy tickle-scenarios that would never happen to me in real life!
Then I discovered TTC. It felt like I had finally found a home.
Back then, I was on dialup, and we had only one PC that was connected to the Interwebz. I had to wake up extra early in order to have the entire living room to myself. Downloading one photo would take ages, and there was that nervousness of getting busted. At times, when the Internet PC was occupied, I would go to Internet cafes just to check out the forums. I remember spending hours just reading every post, and exchanging thoughts and ideas. Back then I had more time, of course. I remember how the official polls, which show up on the left side-bar, were updated more regularly. Those were fun to participate in.
I really don't see that this place changed all that much; it's still awesome. We still get treated to some really cool art by artists who are just sharing, and we are seeing some new artists entering the fold (I'm excited to see how these guys develop with time!) We also get awesome teasers by kickass artists who are selling their work (one day I'm going to buy ALL THE MTJ comix!!!11one.) I've only recently started hitting the chat-rooms which is something I haven't done before, and I'm loving the experiences there.
I'm glad to see TTC still going strong. This place has kept a classy, clean and friendly vibe about it for ages, and I don't see that going away any time soon. Sure, people come and go, but we all share a love for making each other laugh (even if it's by force 😛) so I don't think things could ever stray too far from the original intent of this community...

I joined TT in 2004, I think it was after "Jack's Male Tickling Rack" shut down, where all the pics and stories were M/M.
I met quite a few people here (online) and had a good time with them, it was fun, and there were actually a few straight guys who weren't offended if I "tickled" them in the Tickle Fight Thread. I kept my distance if they were with a female member, but if they weren't they were at least open to the idea of an brief online post about it.
Life changes, and people leave for different reasons.
I stopped posting on TT for a while because in end of 2005 I saw Brokeback Mountain, and that movie hit me so hard, that I joined a Brokeback forum, and actually starting traveling and meeting other fans of the movie, we call ourselves "Brokies". Since 2006 (and I've always been a "homebody") I've been to 15 states and 5 countries.
During that time I fell in love with a guy who would let me tickle him, another Brokie. He was sweet, and not very ticklish, but would let me have fun. He lived in another state, and we talked about me moving. However it wasn't to be, and we broke up. I was devastated, and coming here and not having him to tickle any more was too painful for a while.
I've since moved on, and dated another guy who was super-ticklish, and he also let me have fun. When we broke up, it wasn't as devastating, and I actually posted a few real "stories" about my experiences with him.
My time has been very limited, and to be honest, I don't see much M/M stuff here, and that's what I enjoy. I do come by on a daily basis and may not post as mucha as I first did, and I do miss some members who are gone, but it's good to know this place is still here.

I do remember those days, and I miss them dearly. Granted, that was on a different account of mine, and I disappeared for while due to my woman not feeling comfortable with it, though now things are different. Most of you probably never heard of me anyway, and those that would don't want to. Hehe.
Anywho, yes, I do miss the old days.

Yeah I remember those days. Alternating between the ATF, TMF, and here.
I remember here at Theater being a place for posting a weekly set of clips, then to forum then when the chat-room opened hanging in there with Mango, Theater, Bob, and Dalek. Having conversations about random things and meeting people from all over the world. the forum alive with activity from pictures to clips to discussions.
I also remember It being more fun back then too cause much of us were a lot younger (I was a teen of 17 turning 18 back then) and had the free time to spend here compared to the time we can spend now as older adults (turning 28 this year =/).
Most of the people I chat with on Yahoo or MSN, I met here or the other places and I still do, it's fun when a random friend returns from a long absent and your able to check in and talk about the old days and see where life is taking us now.
But things change and people come and go and move on. Some lose interest or life pulls them away, all things are temporary nothing is eternal especially when it comes to online communities. It's important to remember all the nostalgia so we can try to incorporate it in more and what made this place so fun and why we wanted to spend so much time here.
It does feels like Theater is going through a transitional period at the moment but I don't think it's cause of lack of community activity but due to the times of this day and age and the limits we have now compared to what we remember back then.
