Thanks for the great history lesson and the followups. It helps put my place here in perspective.
This is my second incarnation at TFP. I arrived shortly after V4 came online and I honestly don't recall what my first handle was. Both of my memberships were due to the FARK link. My first time in I read the Notices and (silly me) thought to myself, how am I ever going to find porn to post and a place to host it? I assumed the only way to maintain membership was to post on the Titty board! Well I eventually got locked out for lurking. Then I came back, got my head screwed on straight, and have been loving the place ever since.
I tried a membership at another online forum a few years back. It was moderated, but just barely. The whole place was based on survival of the fittest. I hated it. One time I was blasted by a member because I complimented them on a particularly insightful comment. Apparently I had to prove myself before I could 'kiss someone's ass' there. That has not been and never will be an issue here because of the great moderators/admins and all their hard work. (Tips hat to the management)

whodathunkit. This whole place is around because of pr0n. :)

I came here via Juan because I was sick of the immaturity of MacNN's forums. He kindly pointed me this way, and I haven't looked back. That was a few months back.

I'm definitely here via Fark, and I'm grateful for it.

Keep up the good work Halx and the like.

Nice to know there are other sane people out there...

Can't believe I missed this thread either.

Yes, I'm of the Fark, Porn, and now I'd like to think legit poster. Found it about one year ago.

Big props to Halx and his vision, it gets better day by day.

I am contiually impressed by the just all-around sick knowledge, philosophy, whatever you want to call it that all you sons (and daughters) of bitches continue to post. It's awesome.

So for the rest of that day, I was updating the Titty Board like mad, to keep the people happy. A few peeps registered and posted a few pictures of their own - that was the idea. Time went on, and more and more people kept visiting through Fark... so many in fact that we ended up busting into the top 25 boobies links page.

Even though the Tittie Board is no longer public, this forum is still the number one link at fark, and will most likely remain so for a long time to come.

Interesting to note that this site owes its livelihood to a well placed plug on a popular site...

Found the site while I was bored, Im still here, but no longer bored...

i found it on fark also. but that was months ago. used to visit the site now and again. went away for a few months traveling and came back and things are now different. some of the stuff i remember is now gone (hidden)

Kush	12-08-2003 03:05 PM

Ah.. good old porn.

I really can't remember how i found this place, but this thread isn't about that. I had no idea TFP had had such a vibrant history, when it came and went i didn't really think into how it all started. So thanks for the new info.

Crazy to me that everyone didn't know the history...
And that people are actually frightened of Hal!

Come on guys, he's just a shy sweetheart that rules out skum with an iron fist.

I'm just honored that he brought me into this little creation of his. He's shown me a new world and I still marvel at the community you have built here.

Get to know him, be his friend. You never know when he might just PM you and ask to stay at your place...

OMG!! Good thing I stumbled on to this. This question have been on my mind for quite a while and now it's finally answered.
If someone can find that article in USAToday, can you post it up please? Thanks in advance.

I tried searching the USA Today website for the article but couldn't find it.

Nice bump though :)

I havnt been here that long. k1ng told me about TFP in Sept of 03 but I didnt get around to checking it out untill Feb 04. I am glad that I am here now, this is the only forum i have ever been a part of that I feel free to post what I think and not have to worry about some dick cutting me down for what I said.

Thanks Halx & everyone who makes this place what it is.

I too remember the days of BuCoMoFo and Sixate and Hanxter and all of the people who have made this site what it is today. I joined latae in version 1 and have been through all of the revamps and crashes. I visit this site daily, sometimes just lurking, others, like today, totally immersed in the community. Thanks to Halx for all of the hard work. Here's to 3 more great years!

I think having v3 go down had to rank right up there with one of my worst days...

wasn't real sure we were going to come back....but he did it...and did it good..

I am surprised that no one picked up on Buddahs comment of the "Snakebrothers"....

man, I would hate to get caught in the same room bending over with those two...:D

So YOU were TBA!

You little bastards! I remember you! :lol:

Ahh, the days of UT Instagib, i was quite a good sniper if i remember correctly, though it did take me a long time to realise my lego man skin wasn't that helpful in disguising me, so i got one which only had foot shot coding :)

I came here for Tiffany Teen, i stayed for Tiffany Teen, i still like tiffany teen, but this forum is nice, it has a lot more too it than other forums, plus some great people. :thumbsup:

Thanks, Ishmal. I'm pretty new around here and wondered how it all started. Maleficent invited me to take a look. I needed to get a respectable ISP before I could register.

05-30-2005 08:18 PM

to be truthful i came here quite a few times here and there.. just for ahem.. the boobies and links.. then one day i hit the general section saw a topic.. then had to re read the rules on posting and go back and change my post before i submited it. then started ... hal your evil bro.. pure evil...

gratz on farming all us here. over the years ive been memebers of many a forum from books to roleplaying games.. and i must say TFP has been the longest run forum I've ever come across in the vast sea of spamage that you overlook.. for once Me hit the pearl

Ch'i	02-23-2007 11:17 PM

Great story. Since joining, I have done nothing but learn and grow from the wisdom and personalities in this community. Truly an amazing creation. Many, many thanks to Buddah, ZeroCool and last, but certainly not least, our fearless leader, Halx.

I know you prefer not to be directly complimented Halx, but you have to admit that someone in your position deserves it every once in a great while. :thumbsup:

Hey Admins and Hal - what's our anniversary date? I know it's four years this month, but what's the date? My rejoin date was April 19.

Well, not quite. But close. Damn close.

Esen	04-12-2007 06:51 PM

Holy crap, I ve been here for 5 years now?
Shit time flies when your having fun.
I think when Halx switched to v2 (correct me if Im wrong) and decided to enforce a "community" feeling is when the boards really developed their longevity.
The site went from as bobie haven to a complete community with a nice set of tits lol :)

I think it is always nice to be well-rounded :D

The site is smart, sophisticated, in shape, has extensive knowledge of technology, politics, and sports, while also having a good-natured sense of humor as well. And it doesn't hurt that she is willing to be an exhibitionist.

This is the TFP in a nutshell. Enjoy her well. ;)

I remember that. What I can't remember is which version I started in. The crash of v3 I do remember. You know what's funny to me? This hall of fame board (which I just noticed) reminds me nothing more so much as it does the general discussion board back then.

I just sat here for 45 minutes re-reading this thread and it provided a good trip down memory lane. It's hard to believe its been 6 years since I stumbled across what was then a titty board. Many changes have happened to both the board and myself. The two of us continue to evolve...

Good times...very good times... ;)

So, a long time ago, I created a gaming clan called TBA. We played Unreal Tournament Instagib, and (maybe I'm gloating) we were the best! Well, at least we were in Team Deathmatch. Undefeated. SO ANYWAYS, since I've got my bragging out of the way, here's the important stuff. We had our own message board. It resided at tba-ownz.org and it was created so our bad-ass members could hang out and be rowdy away from the main community message board, which was censored and full of stupid IRC-like sillyness. We called that board 'Disneyland' and so in contrast, we called our board 'This Aint Disneyland, Bitch!' Our board consisted of 4 main sections... General Discussion, Titty Board... Amen (TBA), Ownage Board, and something else that I forget. Time went on, and as gaming usually goes, things got really dramatic around our clan. I think we broke up and reformed 3 times in 2 years. Eventually we all couldn't stand eachother - every single clan in the community had at least 1 former TBA member and so every match we'd play, there was animosity flying all over the place. I called it quits on the gaming, and the clan dissolved.

So months after the dissolution, I sat there with an empty message board. I renamed it the Tilted Forum Project (I didn't like the name at first, but I wanted to name it SOEMTHING else.) Nobody came around anymore except for ZeroCool, so it was pretty much a barren landscape. I had been visiting a site (you might have heard of it) called Fark.com and I had a little urge to put a link up... to what I did not know. So it hit me, I have a Titty Board. Fark has boobies links. A match made in heaven. I went into Fark's irc channel and hung out one Sunday morning (Jan 20, 2002), and I asked one of the moderators if they'd post a boobies link for me. They took a loot at my site, asked me if the server could handle it, and I said sure. So I submitted the Titty Board link and they accepted it. Incoming traffic!

So for the rest of that day, I was updating the Titty Board like mad, to keep the people happy. A few peeps registered and posted a few pictures of their own - that was the idea. Time went on, and more and more people kept visiting through Fark... so many in fact that we ended up busting into the top 25 boobies links page.

Ok, I had all this free traffic, all coming for free boobies. That's great, but I knew I wanted more than that. I had no more online community to hang out with because I had left gaming. I figured I'd create one for myself.

What do I want out of a community? Well, after seeing first hand what happens when you let people run rampant, I came to realize that I really didn't enjoy being caught in all that animosity. I wanted to feel safe enough to share my feelings and have people share theirs with me. With that idea in mind, I created a few rules that I sought to enforce, and I started using some tactics to siphon people away from the Titty Board, into the general discussion area.

Who would have known it? Porn surfers are just like anyone else. Before I created this site, I would have told you that porn surfers were a bunch of shady delinquents who have dirty vocabularies and hairy palms. I have learned a lot since then.

So, the TFProject has had 5 different hosts, with 3 complete rebuilds. I estimate we've processed about 100K people and over a million posts. There are a few message boards that are larger and more popular, but that only means my job isn't done yet.

clap clap clap amazing

ahh, i remember that fabled fark link.

i was sitting at the library, eyes half open, when i saw the "Boobies" tag. Wearily and full of doubt, i pushed the curser to the link and let my finger fall on the left mouse button.

SURPRISE! it wasnt blocked! neither were most of the boobs on the titty forum!

ohhh it was a splendid find.

Halcy

12-13-2009 12:54 AM

Holy hell,
I love that this forum is still here, and that there is a thread all about TBA and the old CTF days. And I see Fragnome and a few of the oldschool Instagib guys hanging out :p
I actually found this completely accidentally, when Po and I were debating whether or not my rack shot was still up somewhere. Once upon a time it was on the Titty Board, but I assume that's long gone now.
Anyway, just wanted to post and say hi to everyone here, and everyone I lost touch with on the Instagib forums. Keep livin' the dream :D

Nice to see all the Unreal Tournament peeps out there! Totally forgot about this board until I got the email regarding the anniversary of this place. Need to drop by the Instagib boards as well now that I'm thinking about them.
