viejo gringo · 12-05-2004, 09:08 PM

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...

Ishmal · 05-29-2005, 09:26 PM

ppl are going to b sick of me doin this soon...

but i still think this is a thread worth reading...
(maybe it should be sticky??)

so...

**BUMP**

stevie667 · 05-30-2005, 03:51 AM

So YOU were TBA!

You little bastards! I remember you!

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.

Elphaba · 05-30-2005, 12:45 PM

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.

Konichiwaneko · 05-30-2005, 06:00 PM

Hmm I've been here quite a while. Not as long as some, I do know my donation was almost 2 years ago. Maybe more.

Drider_it · 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.

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.

Poppinjay · 04-12-2007, 06:46 PM

Wow. I feel like the same when I read the original copy of the magna carta.

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

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 havent been around for a looong time, but its great to see that so many familiar people are still active.
TFP has been strong enough to plow through allkinds of turbulens..

Wow, forgot about FARK. Nice to go down memory lane. Thanks for the history lesson.

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.

johanasu · 11-15-2007, 08:11 PM

ahahah halarkin and TBA... i remember that picture of hal with his computer and a bunch of empty cans... moutain dew? TBA... Ogl128.. ds?.. bunch of other aliasers...hmm what year was that 2001? wouldnt know if you can brag about TDM since we were all CTF but you werent the best at that

im not surprised this forum exists as an offshoot of the original TBA forum titty board.

~hmm what name to put. i guess hal zc and others from back then would know me as fragnome

Hal's posting of "Creative Undressing" posted got me

anniversary date is april 18 2003

troit · 01-14-2008, 08:10 AM

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

king7 · 07-08-2008, 02:11 PM

interesting how you went from gaming to this site,nice work

japhyryder · 08-02-2008, 07:32 PM

Wow quite an interesting history, Halx. I guess now I know.

The_Jazz · 06-02-2009, 07:56 AM

Since we had the question come up elsewhere, I thought I would bump this. It's a fun read.

SSJTWIZTA · 08-19-2009, 07:23 AM

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

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

<3

MVmfinP · 01-24-2010, 05:28 PM

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.
