how did you find this forum in the first place

Postby viking » Thu Jun 28, 2012 12:23 pm

would be interesting to know how other people discovered this web site.

i personally discovered it already when the old web site trough asstr was still active.
it was a pure coincidence, one day when i was about 15 years young i wanted to see if i could find anything about video games that had damsels in distress being tied up.
so i googled for tie up games.

first thing that came up was this forum.
though it took me 4 years before i shared any stories on my own.

how did you find the forum?

I don't remember exactly what it was. I was searching for something else and stumbled upon this site. It was all the way back in 2003. Like you, I went a few years before I ever posted anything, but I went even longer--nearly 6 years. I came close to posting on the old version a few times but never did for some reason.

Well in my case it's easy: I'm the one who created the old version of this forum, based on a long-gone similar site which only accepted "boys tie up girls" stories. That was... 14 years ago! Yikes!

I've actually wanted to be a writer on Deviantart, since that's a great source for similar stories of TUGs. But as I looked for stories, tadaa! I found this site. And I ultimately chose this site over Deviantart, as it's more to what I want to do.

Well, as KP Presents explained in the post above, the same way...from Canuck's previous board. Now, I "landed upon" Canuck's board via the Website that the famous Doug R. had on the Web for a while. I had read a lot of his stories, and somehow, some way, I clicked on a link on his site that brought me to Canuck's site. And, the rest is history...

Fourteen years! That just about coincides with my very first tie-up games.

Hmm the first time I visited here was around a decade ago from my high school computer lab. Since then I have discovered that public libraries can not load so I am glad that I have had numerous wireless and high speed internet companies to enable me access to hear.

for me it was looking for stories which contained sock and duct tape gags. Either in google or on asstr, that's how I found the dreambook one. If I had to guess I'd say it was 5 years ago but I'm bad with timeflow.

I discovered this place when I first found out I could use the Internet to satiate my bondage itch. The first story-based website I found myself on was a page of Mason's stories. My first reaction was that of a child learning to read a major book for the first time: "Why are there no pictures?"
However, after reading more and more of Mason's "tie up games" stories, I decided to google "tie up games." However, I had accidentally left Google on plain search mode rather than images (which I had solely been doing up to this point). I then found the asstr page for Stories of Tie Up Games. I've been lurking here for an enormously long time. And now I am finally among you. :)

Similarly, I found this site through Canuck's old dream book. It must have been over 10 years ago when I first discovered that site. I was 13 or so and also similarly, realized I could search out sites to satisfy my bondage urges. I kept up with the dream book for awhile, then eventually lost interest to more...adult sites. A few years back, out of the blue I remembered the old dream book, and when I searched for it, I saw it had evolved into this board!

Two winters ago, I googled "Is it normal to want to tie yourself up?" The results brought me to this thread. After a few months, I came back to this site while looking up "duct tape" and decided to read a few stories. Then I made an account.

I found this site through the old asstr site, which in turn found while looking for stories about being tied up by burglars and tying yourself up, etc.

10 years ago, I got internet and searched for TUG-stories. At first, I found a dreambook-website, but the stories were mainly adult-oriented (I think the admin was called Bob). There I found the link to the old asstr-site (which, by the way, still exists. It contains years of archives full of stories: http://www.asstr.org/~canuck100/).

If my memory is correct, I believe I just Googled "Tie Up Games" out of curiosity. I mean, I tied up my friends when I was young. So, I figured maybe others did the same.

I ended up stumbling upon a story posted by a user that is unfortunately no longer active. But the story is still available to read. Here's a link to it.
http://www.tieupgames.net/viewtopic.php?t=10511

As far as I know, this was the first story that I had ever read on this site. And when I discovered that I would need to make an account to view a users post history, I knew I was sold. I wasn't even aware of TUG's Talk or any of the other user-exclusive forums. All I knew was that I would get to find out if this guy had any more content. And that was enough for 16 year old me.

Looking back,I'm not sure what it was that I found so enticing about the story he posted. Could be that it was the first one I had read or that it reminded me of so many close calls with my parents finding me in self-bondage. Either way, it got me make an account, and I've been posting ever since! :D

I was looking for some tie up stories as the old site I used to go started to bore me. I found a post on something called "tieupgames.net". A few months later I was looking for that post and eventually found it. I lurked on the site for awhile and then decided to join. I had no idea at the time that this post I looked at once a few months ago on this site would turn into me having an account later on.
