So basically, TFP owns its existence to titties. I came here about a month ago, and have been lurking, started posting yesterday, I think. Came here through the penny-arcade forums, I think.

I think I found the boards through fark and showed up during v2. Because I didn't get involved, I got axed and came back sometime during v3. That's when I started to get more involved, to donate - but still I'm mostly a lurker.

Today it's not much different. I lurk alot and post rarely, except to say 'thanks'. But I value the boards and I donate periodically.

It's nice to see people with passion who apply themselves and keep the momentum going, and it's fun to hear that they enjoy it. Sims we are, to be sure, oh Mayor Hal. And we are satisfied...

April 29, 2002 was the day I discovered TFP through the link on Fark. I was in free tittie heaven. I didn't sign up then because you didn't have to to view posts back then, and since all I was interested in was free porn I was ok. I registered in July after registration was made compulsory, got booted sometime between July and October for being a lurker, (I didn't have internet access during this time), signed up again in December and have been a relatively active member since then.

i go back to april/may of 2001...
what brought me here was a link i found to "Creative Undressing" - GAWD i loved that thread!!!...

after much lurking one day i saw that Hal had a need for some mod's and put up an application... i applied and grabbed him in chat where he did a half assed interview while his old boss was leaning over his shoulder...

we got into a convo one day and then out of the blue the phone rang... it was Hal and all he said is "We have some BIG changes!" and hung up. i had no fookin clue who it was or what till i saw my name on the bottom of the page italicized... WOWSERS...

we had a thing called "The Weekly Poster Child Awards" where you won nothing. That was pretty cool till he got tired of the boobies. we closed the boobies down to get others involved in the community. BuDDaH then created the Members Forum and then the Ladies Lounge and so on...

this site is an evolution in the present - it is forever changing and it's thru you , the members, that make this site work... we were even written up in USA Today's Life section under internet oddities as the fastest growing site on the net!!!

to that i'd like to thank you the members for your involvement and participation...

and to Hal & BuDDaH for letting me enjoy the funnest ride i've had in a long long time!!!

NOW GET BACK TO WORK, DAMMIT!!!

I still remember when the titty board was first posted on fark.....
It is still the no.1 Boobies link!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.fark.com/Top25Boobies.html
Read the comments.....nice trip down memory lane

I joined right when the tfp needed you to be registered to look at the titty board......I was a bad lurker...posted like 9 times before I got booted...and then asked the dumb question...why??? And then I got my ass chewed by the mods...but I will admit...I deserved every little ounce of it. Then once I started to dig deeper and deeper and became a little less shy I have become a posting whore. And I gotta admit...I've been on other forums.....and I don't think I have ever found any other forum that is easy to use, well maintained, moderated this well, and has so much variance in topics and users.

I think I came in somewhere around v2 but it wasn't from FARK or maybe it was so much has happened since then. Got the post count pretty high and was rocking along on v3, crash. Had some shit go down outside in real life and slowed way down on v4 but I am now back in the swing of things. Good times, indeed.<p>I remember the old tba link now I know what was behind it cool.<p>Good job Halx.

I was led to Fark by a friend of mine, said it was a good site to get daily news. Seriously though -- got bored with fark real fast and started checking out the links, when I got to TFP, i stayed. this forum is just so damn addicting. I might be the only one from fark that didn't come for the boobies. . .

thanks for the history lesson. its very good to know where you've come from.

Like a lot of others I discovered the TFP through Fark. If I can remember right it was just about a month or so before it required everyone to register. At first I just popped in every couple of days to check out the booby pics, and then found everything else there was. I've been hooked since.

Can't believe i've never seen this thread.

I've been on board since early v.3, and this is bar-none the best community there is. I'm constantly forced to reevaluate things about life and myself, and it keeps me thinking.

I can't remember where it was I got linked here, but it was some miscellaneous porn link board, not Fark. It just said "Titty Board" and i said Ohhhhhhhh yeah!

As a writer, i've found no better place to say what I want to say in any quantity. The mods and admins do a superb job of policing the boards, and it keeps the harmony of the TFP to that of a symphony orchestra.

Congrats to all who make it what it is, you are all wonderful, wonderful people.

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)

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...

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...

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!
