    Is this how celebs feel when they're asked the same "feeling" they felt when they played an iconic role by many over time?? ;)
    JK...this has been asked before...you may find another thread on it. (may want to do a site search, I'm surprised we haven't stickied it by now)

    But I'll bite again into this familiar meal...

    Came through the site Fark, thru their now non-existent Top Boobies list, TFP was on top.
    But this was in a different previous version of TFP, which had much more adult material (it is not as emphasized as much now either)
    ...and there wasn't as much available on the known web in comparison for mass consumption or collected together back then. (2001??)

    Left for some years after a soap opera scene went down...came back through invite by the great new owner.
    Still enjoy it for the people and the words. :cool:

    I also found TFP through a search for opinions on something risqué.

    hmm...I wonder if we can advertise the talk and camaraderie, instead of the adult media.
    different push.

    I'm sure there are many looking for an oasis in the rock concert of the web.

    Must have been via Fark, I think. I'm here (lurky) a bit, but not as often as I would like.

    How did I discover the TFP?

    I petitioned the King of Fark for ships and crew to discover a direct route to the Far East.
    On my way there, I came across a wondrous land populated by boobies, as far as the eye could see.
    Surprisingly, it was surrounded by passionate and funny people that were quirky enough to hold my interest and lure me away (for a short time) from the boobies threads.
    I went native, and that is that.

    My trip was pretty much the same as Rogue49 and Fremen.
    Only in my case I not only met some great folks, I also met my wife.
    So TFP has a very important place in my heart.
    I think Jadzia would've really liked it here.

    I'd like to think so. Us TFP women might be outnumbered, but we still carve space for ourselves.

    Someone on another board I used to frequent posted a link to TFP. I followed it and stayed.

    I am sure there was some investment in the boobies, but they weren't as anchoring as the conversations (despite some real assholes who used to live here back in the day).

    TFP was "best boobies on the internet" on fark back when fark had boobies.

    Sad to see some things go. Boobies is what made TFP what it was, it was the honey to catch the flies. The bait on the hook. The candy in the van.

    I stumbled here to take on the political boobs not the boobies.

    What was the old "unofficial" motto??
    "Come for the porn, stay for the chat."

    There's no way to keep with the volume and pace now available throughout the web,
    but that's not the site's niche anymore, just some share only what they like.
    It's the intelligent, open and adult discussions which make this place what it is...actually what it always has.

    More like a brain dump.
    What's on your mind today???
    (**but you won't get in trouble talking freely like with your family, friends and coworkers...)

    TFP...It's not what you are, but what you say.
    Much better. :cool:

    On the downside, its why checking once every few days is "enough" to not miss anything.

    Same as most back then: Fark->TFP.

    Thinking about it now, I have alot of thanks to give to this community.

    I was a pretty narrow-minded, angry, and prejudiced kid when I signed up, and I guess this place had a big part in showing me the path to opening myself up to different people and ideas.
    I made friends in other countries; men and women of all ages, religions, sexualities.. Something I probably wouldn't have done otherwise. I engaged in conversations about things I'd never thought about. It was everything I really needed.

    About nine years ago, I left. Alot of friends had already gone and I got a girlfriend, so I didn't feel as connected anymore.

    I dipped my toes again, six years ago, to paint with GiantHamburger (pretty much my all-time favorite member). It didn't last long though. I had too much going on, and really no time to spend on the net.

    This place popped into my mind again a couple of weeks ago, and I was thrilled to see it had survived!
    Alot of people are gone, sadly, but it's really awesome every time I see a name I remember!

    I'm glad to be back.

    I was looking for a divorce support forum and somehow ended up here.

    And if that doesn't prove the Internet is broken, I don't know what does.
