Forums going away?

Don't take him literally, but you had better take him seriously.

The scuttlebutt is that founder has stated that he is doing away with the forums, and that he regrets having implemented them in the first place.

On the one hand, I can understand. The forums are a tinderbox of digital beefs, trolling, flame wars and the leftist violence in this country has often threatened to spill over from online fights into real world attacks. Several of us have had these threats made against us. The anonymity of the internet separates the words we type and ideas we express from the real, flesh & blood humans at either end of the web. Without online discussion boards, we would have had fewer ISIS-radicalized domestic terrorists, fewer online-radicalized LGBTQIA+ mass murderers and assassins, and fewer opportunities for people at either extreme end of the political spectrum to find a closed echo chambers where their fears and hatreds are echoed and amplified into horrible, real-world, carnage, murder, and pain.

On the other hand, there are some long-time members who have adopted TUSCL discussion boards as one of their primary social connections with other people. It is not as healthy as face-to-face interactions in offline social groups, but it is completely normal in 2025.

So, founder, am I spreading unfounded gossip (no pun intended), or are forums going away?

Fellow posters, how do you feel, and how do you think you would react to a more streamlined TUSCL experience without the discussion boards?

Personally, I would miss them. Even the gentle jibes. However, I would remind you, gently, that your own flame wars, with 25, for instance, might be part of the reason that founder would consider doing away with the forums.

I hope that we can continue the boards, disagreeing or agreeing respectfully without the personal venom.

I enjoy them when the topic is related to the clubs. No way to limit the discussions unless there is someone who decides what is acceptable. I agree with people having the right to say what they want but wish they would be adults and limit discussions to the club activities. There are plenty of other sites to discuss those other topics.

I agree with NCParrothead. Keep it club related.

All that is needed is for people to stop their belly aching about how Founder does things and just go about reading what interests you and ignoring the rest.

Sometimes I am tempted to look at political discussions, but if they get too stupid, I just click off from them. Unfortunately, it seems like we may have lost valuable contributor Ronjax2. I haven't seen him post since one particular political discussion blew up. I am sure some people get fed up with the bickering. Some other people assume everyone enjoys the sparring contests as much as they do. Ultimately, we never seem to be able to change anyone's minds in these arguments anyway, so Shadowcat's advice is wise.

I deny the validity of your unfounded rumors.

It's long been known that the forums are NOT the money maker on this site, so naturally they will get less attention than the real cash flow stuff, i.e. the reviews. That doesn't mean the forums are going away.

Ronjax isn't gone he went over to Reddit. He probably still reads over here.

If for some reason the TUSCL forums do end up getting axed hopefully what's already posted gets archived and made searchable. There's a lot of actually useful and interesting content alongside the rubbish that you get with any open online forum.

I'm also over on Reddit in the stripclubs forum but most of those dudes don't know what they're doing, so I prefer the discussion over here when it can stay on topic. I just haven't seen much I've wanted to comment on lately.

How does that humble pie taste, gmd? Do you now understand that I am statistically proven right 99.98% of the time. Rhetorical statement. Not a question.

Without Icey the forums were probably closer to civilized discussion than they've been in years 🤣

A lot of the features that have improved TUSCL content was championed on the board. And there are things I've learned that I didn't really appreciate until I aged into the phase a lot of you were already dealing with when I showed up on the boards in my 20's. The boards all too often became a dumpster fire because so many of you just couldn't agree to disagree and focus on strip clubs and strippers, and recent years just seemed to bring things people couldn't get past. I was a consistent participant in forum discussions because there were so many different points of view, not because I was looking for people who thought exactly the way I did.

Did they finally get banned again?

I like the strip club discussions because this is not a topic I normally bring up with people I know. I only have one friend who shares my strip club hobby. I don't mind the discussions going off the topic of strip clubs onto things like sports, music, food etc. I don't like the flame wars and personal attacks, though.

@gammanu95, "How does that humble pie taste, gmd?"

Hey, you're the one who called it "scuttlebutt, for which you presented no evidence. If you'd presented that evidence in the first place, like any reasonable person trying to elicit a conversation rather than just stir shit up, I wouldn't have said anything at all.

Glad to hear forums are staying, thank you. Like TV, pods, YouTubes, Rumble, etc you can select what you want to consume. I have more trust here with content of all types than at Reddit that I ignore.

One of the really good recent topics was Skibum609 Halloween post. Nice break in the day!

@georgmicrodong man, I'm tired of always being right! Of course, a short, fat, micropenis like yourself hasn't the humility to accept correction. Not surprising.

@founder 100% serious. Do you not recall writing that comment? Is there a new variation on the "dot" accounts impersonating you?

I don't know what you mean by "dot" variations.

I may have expressed regret for creating this whole site, but I'm coming to peace with it.

Remember txtittyfag when dougster was slyly adding a "." before and behind the name of another user to pose as them while making outrageous posts? I know have an outrageously good memory, but how can you forget that whole debacle?

I think TUSCL is like the American democratic Republic. It is the worst form a strip club hobby site can take, but it is better than anything else tried so far.

It recall the '.' thing but the guy i recall doing that was the guy with the turd fetish, zipman. Speaking of dougster, is his icey variation erased now? It does appear that way. A big thanks for that!
