Okay so now that we started the new decade right, a couple short words, especially to producers.

Our download stores are now 10 years old! Thanks to all of you who gave that experiment a shot... and sorry it's still so experimental. Our drives are full again as always, and an upgrade is coming in the next month or two. Along with that should come some other increases in the speed and reliability an quality of streaming content.

A number of you have been waiting on me and our biller for clarification on bondage rules, and I finally have it: Any light bondage is now okay, even if by the wrists, ankles, in stocks, or whatever. I've updated the TOS to clarify this plus a few other things about spam and user conduct, all highlighted of course.

Hey we're going to the UK! Just for personal vacation, nothing crazy. But we'll be there some time in early May until the 17th after Mike's splunch. It's really just on Messmistress and my bucket list and May happens to be the perfect time for us, so we hope to catch up with some of you there.

A final shout to all the people who help us all day every day, bringing issues to our attention, offering suggestions and advice, and generally helping keep things fun around here. I'm lucky to start the new decade with all of you.

Aight, wam on.
Messmaster

Anazing! Thanks so much for all your efforts over the years. Also I've pm'd you

Hey Derek,

Thanks for everything you do, you guys certainly deserve a vacation! Enjoy the UK! We will be joining the streaming community in the next year or two so we appreciate all your work there too.

Live well!

Madeline

Thanks for all you do, and it's great news that steaming etc is going to be an even smoother and faster experience, as it feels like the future.

As for the UK visit: It's amazing news. Really hope we get to meet in person in May. I'll touch base with Candy and see what the plan is

Yah! Streaming is definitely the future, and while I personally never have issues, better reliability is always a positive. Thanks for all you do!

Pretty Flippin' Amazing MM - between you and Soundguy, you've basically made this whole scene grow at a rate I never thought possible when I first stumbled across the UMD.

Hats Off!

I like the updates to the TOS. Nice and clear, easy to understand. I also like the Google part in the FAQ. Can't remember if it has been there for a bit, but I like the explanation. It makes everything clear as mud LOL. Dealing with storage additions and things is never fun, good luck!!!

You are doing a great public service. I hope you're making money out of it!

I love the highlighted and updated remarks, especially pertaining to the witch hunts on new users. And if someone has a question about one, please just PM MM. He may not get you an answer in 5 minutes, but he WILL get you an answer, and it will be an answer from the source.

To the community of users I just add: if you have a problem with someone's post ,content, etc and you feel it needs to be called out, do so. But state your concerns, and reasons firmly but try and not be a dick about it. Don't everybody jump on and lynch someone too, we can be better than that. Yes, I'm guilty of this and need to watch myself too. Also, use that flag. It's the single best way to tip MM off about something you think is up. He can't possibly see everything, and admins don't have as much authority as some may think.

So, once again in the esteemed words of Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted Theodore Logan:
"Be excellent to each other, and party on dudes"

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek this is very exciting!!!

Good ol Queeny has changed a holiday around to celebrate the 75th V.E day, so there's a 3 day weekend when your around!
Fancy helping me celebrate my 40th and a potential visit from our American all star Jayce in style??

Happy Big Love xx

It's all go this year! A decade of downloads is impressive going (whenever I start to think of such things, I just start to feel old, although I'm still younger than some - indeed I seem to be one of the few folk without a milestone birthday this year!) I'm sure there'll be opportunities to meet some of us folks over here amongst just enjoying the country.

It's been a very impressive ride, I remember when the download stores were new. At that point I was just toying with opening one and had asked my then payment processor for information on how to do it, and they'd provided full documentation, but before I could start writing code MM made his announcement, and the rest is history.

And totally awesome that you're both coming over this side of the pond! If you can manage a few days up here in Yorkshire we'd be delighted to show you round, perhaps even treat you both to a meal in the Badger Dining Room, where I dined with Maria the other year?

If you're here in early May, we can also show you the glory of our bluebell woods if you like.

Direct through trains available from Bristol, takes about three hours to Leeds. Though sadly the days of locomotive hauled side-corridor compartment stock are but a memory.

Ah - the happy days of BR Mk1 slam-door stock!

Heaven to Betsy!
Why, *I*'ll just take those off your hands, Mister Messtermaster!

10 years downloads already MM?? - WOW.

For 23 years now you've been doing a brilliant job with this site and i hope that you will keep on doing this for more years to come!!!

It's appreciated by everyone here 24-7!!!!

Looking forward to you and Mess Mistress hitting the UK and i'm looking for a few raves to hit up while you guys are here and to repay the brilliant hospitality in Vegas and Philly!! .

Thanks for everything you've done. This site was a safe haven when I was in the closet about my fetish and I owe that to you. I'll Pm you because I have some questions regarding the new bondage rules.
