I was first introduced to the online tickling community back in 1996, by a childhood friend who shared in our fetish. She introduced me to an old mIRC chat room called #ticklefun. I immediately felt at home, and eventually became co-owner of the channel. But we were forced to close down in 1998, after several take over attempts by trolls.
After that, I sort of disappeared from the tickling community for a few years. The only fellow ticklephile I really kept in contact with online at all was Terorizer during that time.
Then one day, in Oct 2001, I decided to join back up with the AMT newsgroup. One of the first posts I read was from MTP_Jeff, and included in his post he had an advertisement for the TMF. I figured 'what the hell', and clicked on the link. Well, as soon as the page loaded, I knew I was in heaven, and that I had to make my comeback to the tickling community.
The rest, as they say, is history 😀
