The TGR Staff - composed of six members - got together on Friday to plan how we’d like to close our final day on our current platform. We talked for about 45 minutes, had a few drinks, and reminisced for an extra hour about the seven glorious years publishing this amazing website know around the world as THE GOONER REPORT. We remembered the beginning, some specific posts, gooners we got to meet (some in person), projects we developed, projects that never came to fruition, the lessons shared, organizing Maysturbation marathons, and the precious gifts we received from our audience. Soon we were butt naked and gooning out together to honor our most dear project (TGR), our followers, and ourselves. What better way to celebrate than a proper goonlebration?
On Saturday we decided that we’d just treat this day as any other day and post what we still had queued up. Let us make one thing clear: Tumblr is sinking but TGR is alive and strong. As we just said in the previous post, TGR will live on in the memories our our readers and followers and our message will still be spread around the world. You now possess a good grasp on gooning arts and it’s your obligation to teach as many as guys as you can about the joys of gooning.
We never said we’d cancel our TGR. We never said we were tired of publishing it. So there is a chance that we will pick it up somewhere else. Where? We don’t know yet exactly. We know that we want to keep it free so we are not inclined to move onto a paid platform. We know we can’t just go somewhere else that does not support the type of thing we do here: an interactive magazine with easy access to an archive. We conducted researches and paid attention to what people were indicating to us, but nothing concrete or good was found until this moment. We took the necessary precautions to secure our content but the future is an exciting but still unknown adventure. We are not making promises, but we will see what is feasible and we will try to keep on going for many more years to come. For now, this is what we know:
You have until midnight PST to consult our archive.
We hold the copyright to some of our content so we can always make a new project - be it a book, album, video - with that content. No one else has the permission to publish and distribute our content or attempt to modify it.
We will keep our Tumblr account open because we don’t want anyone else possibly taking over our handle and turning it into something else. However, we will not update it (unless extremely necessary) and we will shut down the ‘Ask a question’ feature.
If you want to stay up to date with The Gooner Report, you must follow us on Twitter. Click here and follow us now (if you haven’t followed us already). That is the only official social media account for TGR and the only way to learn about any future projects.
We will close this by saying “see you around.” We won’t say goodbye or anything else. Follow our advice given over the years and keep on perfecting your gooning. Also, at every possible chance, please practice this: teach other men about gooning and seek to broaden our brotherhood. There is so much stigma regarding healthy sexual activities already so do never misrepresent, mischaracterize, or allow others to spread misconceptions about gooning. So many people have tried over the years to culturally appropriate gooning but we have done our best to elucidate and teach legit gooning. You have been paying attention so now it’s on you: teach and protect gooning. Savor gooning. Elevate gooning. Celebrate gooning. Be a legit gooner! Save our lessons to your computer if you must and never forget: if you received something good, share it with others. We share gooning with the world because we want the world to know about how precious gooning is and what some people are missing out.
It’s been a real pleasure, gooners. Publishing TGR has made us better, happier men, and obviously better gooners too. We hope that each and all of our followers have become better gooner themselves.
GOON ON... FOREVER AND EVER!
