- The alt.tinygirls FAQ - first posted 12 July 1996

- What is a Tinygirl?
-
- There are many things that most Tinygirls seem to have in common.
- They are:
-
- 1) Height - Noticeably shorter than average for their ethnic or
- national group, but not so short that they fall into the dwarf
- category - their limbs are still reasonably proportioned as an
- average-sized person's. In the United States, this is less than 5'2"
- (158 cm) or so.
-
- 2) Weight - Does not matter. To clarify, Tinygirls do not have to be
- waiflike to be Tinygirls. What is more important is that the weight
- is proportioned, and how the Tinygirl carries it. A real Tinygirl is
- mostly happy about her size, and shows it.
-
- 3) Age - a Tinygirl is not a child, she is an adult. A Tinygirl is a
- woman who is not considered a minor in her country.
-
- 4) Personality - This is one of the most important things that
- Tinygirls seem to have in common - a special personality. It is very
- hard to describe, but a few words come to mind: extreme spirit and
- vitality, humor, friendliness, caring, never-say-die attitude, and
- assorted similar traits. Most Tinygirls seem to have a feline personality.
-
- 5) Race/nationality - No restrictions. The Tinygirl trait is
- universal among all peoples.
-
- If you are a short lady who is reading this and who thinks you are not
- qualified, you are wrong. You may think you are not one, but inside
- every short lady, there is a Tinygirl trying to show herself. On the
- Internet you don't have to worry about others' reactions. You can be
- a Tinygirl in here and still be the same reserved lady you are in real
- life. Maybe by letting your Tinygirl side show here, it may start
- showing up in real life.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- FAQ section:
-
- Actually, this is not a list of questions and answers, so it is not a
- true FAQ, but since newsgroup rules of behavior are mostly called
- FAQs, this is called a FAQ too to avoid confusion.
-
- Newsgroup purpose:
-
- To serve as an open forum for and about Tinygirls. It is also a place
- where Tinygirls can join the camaraderie of other Tinygirls and
- Tinygirl admirers, and share the experience of their particular trait -
- sort of a newsgroup lodge. They even made up a sort of Monarchy
- system with a queen, knights, and princesses and all of the "realm"
- for some long-time regulars.
-
- Appropriate posts:
-
- 1) Discussion by Tinygirls about whatever strikes their fancy - mostly
- about the impact of their unique physical nature on their lives, i.e.
- where to buy clothes and shoes, how they are treated by larger people,
- how to reach the dishes in the top cabinets in the kitchen, etc.
-
- 2) Discussion by non-Tinygirls about their feelings toward, likes and
- dislikes about, relationships with, and general opinions of Tinygirls.
-
- *** Any subject is allowed as long as it does not fall into one of
- the following categories. ***
-
- Inappropriate posts:
-
- 1) Any post of a sexual or erotic nature, whether it be text (erotic
- stories), images, or sound. All posts of this nature should be made
- to the alt.sex.fetish.tinygirls newsgroup. That newsgroup (unassociated
- with this newsgroup) was created specifically for that purpose.
-
- 2) Any commercial ad.
-
- 3) Any cross-posting. Any post made to this group and at least five
- other groups at the same time. If you reply to a posting here that is
- a spam (cross-posting), please clean the other newsgroups' names from
- your destination line, if possible. Also, try to reply to the poster
- via e-mail, since most spammers do not read all the groups they post
- to, and may miss your reply otherwise. Regulars in those groups don't
- like to have their places fouled any more than we do by crossfire
- flaming from somewhere else.
-
- 4) Any personal ad. All personal ads belong in alt. personals, not
- here.
-
- Special note: regulars of this group have little tolerance for
- inappropriate posts. Particularly vulgar violations of type 1 (and
- some of type 2) have been reported the the postmasters of the posters,
- and in some cases have resulted in action taken against those posters
- (loss of service, for example). This is not an "anything goes" group.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Current state of the newsgroup:
-
- It seems the natural state, unfortunately, for the group to be a
- target for erroneous posts. It has its ebb and flow throughout the
- year, but it appears to be always with us and, like graffiti, a blight
- on the neighborhood. Responding to spammers in the newsgroup with an
- angry rebuttal doesn't do too much, as most cross-spammers seldom, if
- ever, read replies. They just take a buck-shot approach to
- advertising. Contacting their system administrators, postmasters,or
- webmasters has in some cases gotten them kicked fom their internet
- providers. This is useful for the most persistent and obnoxious
- gate-crashers who have proven through multiple posts to be determined
- to upset things in the group. Others come in and say "blech" or
- whatever, and leave. Those are rather benign and, as long as they are
- not persistent, can just be ignored in the group. A private letter to
- the offender might work. No need to nuke everyone who makes a
- boo-boo. Make the punishment fit the crime - and not all are capital
- cases.
-
- IRC:
-
- An IRC channel called #alt.tinygirls for the Undernet Organization has
- been created. It is to let newsgroup members talk to each other in a
- real-time enviornment. For information on how to log into the Undernet,
- try http://www.undernet.org/ For software to log on the Undernet, try
- http://www.emapnet.com/service/mirc/mirc1.html and download the free mIRC
- software.

- DOS text version of the FAQ:
- For you lucky ones with web browsers, an older posting of this FAQ is
- now available on siteseer's web page, in the personal (hodge-podge)
- section. It is a standard DOS text document, so it should be portable to
- whatever text editor you might have that handles DOS text. The web
- page address is http://www.pla-net.net/~siteseer .
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Any opinions of this FAQ should be posted to the newsgroup for public
- view and discussion, not e-mailed.
