I've been participating in these forums for just under a year. I had originally signed up long before that but never had a chance to participate (no time) and never commented on anything.
Last year at this time I re-registered and became an active participant in this community. I think my first post was in June and it was a very brief review of our foot party.
Since then I've continued to live my little "Girlswithfeet" life as I had done before, but taking time to document a few moments here and there, reporting on some of the good (and bad) moments through these forums.
I didn't know how to edit a post until I'd made over a hundred - didn't know how to quote a post until I'd made over a thousand (and I had to learn that from Malory). I still don't know how to make Thumbnails in the photo section and hope to learn that sometime before I hit 5,000.
My posts (and the spectacular girls therein) have always been on a "public service" basis, meaning I had nothing to gain by them, no subscriber-site to push with them, no monetary or traffic rewards, etc. Like my foot parties, something akin to a labor of love.
I've met some OUTSTANDING people during this year and am richer for that. Learned about some websites I'd not heard of or seen before and joined quite a few of them.
Through correspondence within these forums I now have numerous acquaintences in at least ten different states that I'd love to drop in on if I'm ever "in the area" .. and probably will. I've extended the same open invitation to several of these people, who may someday find themselves passing through Seattle, Tacoma or Portland.
Because of my participation in these forums, I've learned to make video clips and have actually sold a few. Were it not for a great amount of incessant prodding by so many people in here, I'd have never gotten off of my lazy rear end to tackle the task of figuring all of that out. It's now become something of a new hobby for me and the girls are having a great time with it!
These forums have given me a platform with which to showcase these DEAR, sweet and beautiful girls who I am SO proud of .. a way for me to let everybody know who Amber is .. and Liv, Stephanie, Steffi, Megan, Midge, Nizaara, Dhyana, Summer, Deidra, Kelly, Emma, Victoria, Nikki, Malory, Kirsten, Kristin, Kirstin, Joy, Audra, and all the rest of them.
During a weak moment or two, I waxed painfully in confessing my love for Miss Kirsten - and my fear of losing her, along with a few others (yes, Malory too).
Was proud to have found a "short fat girl" who was proven by the decent people and participants of these forums to be anything BUT unattractive and therefore, open her eyes to a whole new (foot) world.
Being able to share one of the very best moments of Summer's young life with so many thousands of people was rewarding. I wanted the whole world to know of her triumph (her GED) and through these forums, it was made possible. You guys have NO idea what your feedback meant to her!!!
So I'm beginning another year now in these forums, my second one. I can't promise three-thousand posts this time around, nor can I say things will be as good (or as interesting) as they were during the first year. Heck, I'm not even sure I can go out there and find another footgirl to share with you all. I can promise to do my best and to do my part in helping to maintain and improve the high standard we all enjoy here.
My most sincere appreciation and gratitude are extended to Mr. Wu, the moderators and all active participants in these outrageous forums. Thanks, everyone, for a great year "In The Life of Feet"!

You've got it! One of my other favorite foot people lives in Florida (DJ from Barefootcamgirls) and I've promised him a visit / pilgramage the next time in in the great Sunshine State. I'd be happy to share a drink, burger or snack with you while there .. might even bring (or find) a footgirl while I'm at it!

I would like to thank you Ben, for everything. Your site, your clips, the DVD's, your cander, your posts ( ). Like I said before in a previous post, you are a god among us mice. And one day I would love to take a trip up to your neck of the woods and meet the gorgeous ladies of your site. Keep up the great work, dude!

Neither do I, Ben, but I am hoping I will learn soon . (Somebody PM on how to do it ) Anyway, I am glad you are here because you have made it fun and cool. The women you have on your team are incredible. Congrats on your 3000 (posts) yards rushing/1 year done.

Hello Skorpius -
If you should find yourself in the area, first cup of coffee is on me. If you ever decide to attend one of our events, you are going to meet some SERIOUS footgirls!

I want to echo the sentiments of everyone who has posted so far. I think that all the members of this board should be the ones thanking you, Ben! I think many folks here would agree that you have truly been an inspiration to us. The pictures you've posted in the last year, and all the fantastic women who you've met and still associate with, have added so much to this online community we call Wu's. Opening up the foot world to all the wonderful girls you have gotten to pose for pictures has been a real boon to us female foot fanatics. It's great to see someone like yourself go out there, take chances and expose a part of yourself which is a passion in such a positive light and I, as well as quite a few other people I'm sure, sincerely appreciate your efforts. Even if you never discover another footgirl in the future (Hopefully, that won't be the case.), I think you've done enough in just under a year than some of us could ever hope to accomplish in five or ten years! Congratulations on 3000 posts and a great first year here at Wu's. I wish you tons of success in the next year and for many more years to come!

Hey Ben, if you and your all-female troop are ever in The Bluegrass State, you GOTTA drop in and hang out! I've got visions of barefoot girls, Gradius V, and a whole lotta beer drinking...
Congrats Ben on all your posts and everything, but this forum wouldn't be what it has become without the likes of you and ALL the excellent Brothers and Sisters that fill our ranks.
Keep on kickin' ass!

Hello Footman9 -
Yes, the girls on this team MAKE the team. They make it all what it is. I just wish you all could see the ones who are not on the site as well - some of them are even better.

Hello Hal -
I've enjoyed meeting you, albeit in a virtual sense. I've gleaned some great shooting ideas and have been pleased to talk about cameras, etc. Of course I've said this many times but the fact that you preside over one of this world's most outstanding and amazing, quality foot sites has made you one that I've emulated.
