thats rediculous. every post he ever made had tons of replies saying "your the man" or "excellent photos". and all his posts had atleast a couple pages of replies. what about the "not so well know guy" that only posts 2 or 3 pics of his gf and gets 1 or 2 responses. they dont get mad and leave because they didnt get superstar recognition. if the reason he left was becasue he didnt feel appreciated then hes crazy in his mind. what does he want, everybody to worship him? nothing against him because he had alot of darn good pictures and seemed like a nice guy but there has to be another reason he left. it just doesnt make sense to me

I guess Ben was being honest when he said he was through with Wu's. That makes me sad. I truly enjoyed my interactions with him, and looked forward to his latest stories. Of course, the pictures he posted of the beautiful foot girls in his life were an added bonus, but not so much as the opportunity to chat with the man himself.

You are a gentleman and a scholar sir. You are missed.

And seriously, where IS Calico Jack?

Hello IAmSpartachris -

I hate when somebody says "Oh boy, it's so sad but I'm 'retiring' and won't be around anymore" ... because they never do "retire" and they always do come back in a day or a month or so and say "I'M BACK!".

In my case, it was never a dedicated effort or plan to stay away or cease participating in the forums, and of course I did not make any dramatic pronouncements about it; it was more a matter of simple priorities .. and of me beginning to feel I was going past the point of diminishing returns with my efforts.

My foot life is a full and very active one. For me, the pursuit and pleasures of female feet do not ever ever cease. It is for the absolute, unadulterated love of feet that I do it. I spent a year in these forums, reporting on my day-to-day (foot) activities and eventually reached a point to where I asked myself "why, and toward what end?".

I made over 3,000 posts in one year with a half a ton of photographs .. of some of this country's most stunning girls (and their feet). I did not ever do this with an agenda .. never posted photos saying "click on this and subscribe to see more" ... or visit my site to buy the whole set. I don't even have a pay site, for crap's sake.

When you assume a high profile, you assume all the shit that goes with it, along with the great things - do well enough and you'll have detractors, just as you will supporters. I never had any problem dealing with this simple idiom but when the footgirls started garnering "hate mail" from forum members I pretty much decided "F..ck them" and let it lay there.

That's when I ceased posting actively (as opposed to "retiring"). Never with the intent of "quitting", just seeing it as a natural hiatus; and always with the intent to give these things a fresh view at some point in time.

In the interim, my (foot) life hasn't changed a bit. I still go out with my footgirl friends, have foot parties - rub, massage, lick and smell feet on a daily basis. And yes, I do run into the most amazing girls from Anytown USA and I do still take photos of their feet just as often as when I was posting regularly ... just that I'm not logging in here every day to report on it.

I'm not here today to say "I'm back", but I did begin with a soft post in the photo section and I may post a few more. Your sentiments are greatly appreciated.

Hello Sinnister - some of them were not exactly secret about it and for those who were, we did trace their IP addresses and I do know who they are. A few of them even tried tracing the IP of footgirls .. which is why all of our footgirl email goes through GWF servers via a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The (few) footgirls who logged into the forum were logging in through the same VPN most of the time.

Oh, and get your butt down to the Miscellaneous section and post on that video game thread! You're bound to have beaten Gradius V by now, right? I wanna hear about all of that too!

Hello Brother Lou - I'll do so but you'll be amazed at my (continued) ineptitude on the Gradius front.
