Are there any TG WAM sites?

[katieessex]

A Top Gunge style site would be fantastic - or anything similiar with nice clothes and good looking t-girls - maybe something like Leonmoomins series of sites - mostwam etc

Or how about a messy get together to just "rehearse" how they should look

[BillShipton]

As Totty (MissHelen in a former life) said earlier, we have welcomed sploshers of ALL varieties to Splosh! with open custard cartons and continue to do so. We asked if you wanted a separate area here for CDs etc and everyone said no - something I agree with as I believe we should have a mix of people and interests rather than segregate everyone into their own little niches. If the CD/TG community want to go their own way with their own website, then I personally think that would be a shame and also quite divisive. Of course, there is nothing to stop any member of the community setting something like this up (as Wamdrogeny did very successfully), however be warned it is hard work maintaining it and not all dressing up and having fun. Expecting a professional organisation to run it for you (be it Leon or anyone else) is a bit unfair. I would also suggest you keep posting on more general sites like ours and UMD to provide the diversity our sites need.

Anyway, whatever you decide to do, rest assured there will always be a warm, squishy welcome for CDs/TGs at Splosh!

[Splattella]

I do agree with Bill here in that Splosh's broad-church approach is right and although I've only signed up officially very recently I've always been delighted with the welcoming aspect of this site. I certainly wouldn't want to be be involved exclusively in a niche area of sploshing.

TGs/CDs have their own particular interests and maybe some regular TG-oriented meetups and photoshoots would satisfy all needs?

[TottyMcGee]

Well said, Bill. We're past the stage of needing a ghetto now, which is one of the reasons I decided the time had come.

Perhaps something more along the lines of a club or a collective might be in order, an informal group of maniacs coming together every now and then to make mad films and photosets for the hell of it (Wamdrogony had a lot of that about it). I began planning something along those lines post-Wamdrogony, but the project was never realised as a) my focus was elsewhere at the time and b) I was discouraged at having inadvertently produced a graphic concept for the "Sticky Stoat Club" that, as Tits pointed out sheepishly, consisted of a gunged cartoon stoat that looked like Hitler with the initials "S.S.C." underneath. Not my proudest moment.

I understand Nina did a stella job organising her mudpit film shoot recently, so there are people out there making things happen. Bottom line though, if you want something that ain't there, there's no reason not to at least have a go at doing it yourself. If it happens you'll feel great about it, if it doesn't take off at least you had a go. But you'll find that once you get going, people will appear to help - build it and they will come.

Who ever wants to start a site could always start off with a yahoo group, you can store pics, files, links etc. Swap messages etc, advertise get togethers,
best thing is a yahoo group is free. So if you dont enjoy it you can always close it with no layout.

I agree that Bill and Hayley operate a very open and friendly forum and am happy that they do.

I think andy has the best idea: a Yahoo group is the most practical solution.

After watching all the replies above and also having had one or two PM's along similar lines over the last few months, it's something that's definitely on my radar....trouble is, is it user-funded, commercial, or somewhere in-between?

If everyone who is interested in starring and/or watching, could send me an email to dave@gunjee.com then I can start to gauge an idea about whether there is room between http://www.gungetankgirls.com and http://www.gungetankguys.com for us to start another site. It's been mentioned before to me in emails and PM's, but not with enough regularity for me to explore it further...

.....although, assuming I get a few volunteers who want to star, do we have to change the concept and put the *winner* rather than the *loser* into the Gunge Tank???

That was pretty much why we came up with the Super Dooper Special Stella Star Prize for Roget's Messaurus - whoever was cleanest at the end of the game (ie less 'penalty' gungings) ends up getting deluged in a massive flood of goop. Everyone's happy!

As for the commercial question, I honestly don't know. I never really came up with anything approaching a business plan for Wamdrogony - it was more a sod 'em all, have fun kind of vibe, what I did to relax. There are a few scattered demographics that you could market to - it's unbroken ground though, so if there is market there's monopoly going. Of course, if you're successful every bugger'll follow suit.

If we see you at Milton Keynes, we could chat about it then.

[Big Dave]

We're not really looking for a market to make a profit. we're happy with new ideas that don't make a loss.....I will have to revise on the "Super Dooper Special Stella Star Prize for Roget's Messaurus" because even Google struggles a bit with it..... but anyway, we're not really a 'business-plan' orientated organisation, we try to have fun whilst not going bust in any given month! It''s harder than you might think!

Hope to get to Milton Keynes!

If your looking to make any kind of profit from cd/tg/tv wam, it wont happen. We have vids available and hardly anybody ever purchases them.

Its a non starter from a business point of view. We still have cd's etc over for private sessions. Though they remain private.

As Miss Helen has stated Wamdrogony, was never about profit or loss. IT was about doing it for the hell of it.

Hence why I suggested a yahoo group for whoever wishes to run a site.

Super Dooper Special Stellar Star Prize (SDSSSP) - A bucket filled right up with every kind of mucky goop found lying around. Typically ours contained natrasol, paint, chocolate milk, soup, custard, spaghetti, basically a bit of everything. Not yer mum's bucket of gunge, this is the BFG of gunge buckets. Get this emptied over you and you'll know about it!
I'll upload some pictures when I get a chance to dig them out, or maybe Andy could oblige?

The Official Rules Of Roget's Messaurus (A Brainy Game)

Roget's Messaurus is a word association game (the creators assert they have never heard of Timmy Mallett or Wackaday) played by two or more contestants and one or more judges. An initial word is suggested, players must take it in turns to quickly come up with another related word.
The following fouls (as observed by the judge) will result in a pie, gunging, or whatever other messy forfeit tickles the fancy of the judge:

- Repeating a word that has already been played
- Hesitating for too long before speaking
- Coming up with a word with no connection to the previous one except to someone on crack
- Excessive um
- Boring the judge

At the end of the game, the cleanest player (ie the one who has been gunged least and has therefore won the most rounds) wins the contents of the SDSSSP emptied in a deluge over their head. In case of a draw, both players may come together to receive the contents of the SDSSSP together.

Some examples of the SDSSSP:

The first ever SDSSP.

By Miss Helen, I dont seem to have any other pics of endings I must of got carried away.

I dont know whats going on during the exam skit. Though Miss Helen appears to have got part of the exam wrong. Not an SDSSP more a bucket of
impending doom!!!

[andy250]

Nothing to do with anything really. Two pics from the Church of Satin. God this was a funny skit.

Though there where certainly a lot of buckets of mess involved in Wamdrogony.
