ThinkTank Internet History Project

[Sunriseticklee]

Hello Website Owners and Webmasters,

If some of you checked out the Tickling Discussion of TMF a couple of weeks ago, you would have noticed that TkDuoAnn was trying to gather information on some of earliest moments you've had in the online tickling community.

I am currently working on a project for TklDuo-Ann, owner of the site Think Tank Tickling Community and beloved member of TMF, or course,(http://thinktank.ticklingcommunity.com/ThinkTank.html), to put together a webpage dedicated to the wonderful changes our community has made because of the Internet.

Our goal is to not only have a timeline listing the beginning of several tickle-themed websites (of the past and present); we would also like to showcase the owners of each site. We feel that it is because of the trend-setters and hard work that our community is continuing to grow and improve each day.

To help us with our efforts, we would greatly appreciate it if you would answer some questions (found at the end of this letter) regarding your site and your accomplishments. If you would like to see a template of what your tribute page will look like, please private message me for the link. Once your page is complete, it will, of course, be a part of the Think Tank website.

You can send us the answers to your questions by just replying to this message. If you’d like, you can send a quick private message listing the name of your original site and the year the site was made; and then, of course you can take more time to answer the rest of the questions.

Again, we both appreciate you for taking time out to help us with our project!

Take Care,
Sunriseticklee

Excellent job on this post, Sunrise. Thank-you!

One thing I'd like to add...

In addition to TK activities on the internet, we'd like to gather info on any early snail mail, magazine, video and other activities. So, you can simply indicate the format of any other materials/activities when you respond.
