Sad news. The owner of allkink.com (jockstraps.com) has decided to shut the site down. End of an era. )-: I've been on there since 1997 when I first got on the internet with WebTV. The original owner's was named Tom. Gr8 guy. This is the message I got when logging in today:

Thanks for your support over the years but at this time we have decided to discontinue AllKink.com.

Sincerely

The archive of historical jockstrap photos which Tom Perdue created for the AllKink site needs to be saved.
Perhaps John can acquire this image collection and migrate it into this Yourjockstraps website.
It would be a shame if it were lost.

We had a great relationship with Tom and sponsored the website for many years (along with International Jock). Was so disappointed when Tom told me he was retiring and letting Allkink go. At the time, we weren't in a position to take it over. Around the same time, we were also offered the domain jockstraps dot com - I'm still kicking myself for not snapping up both allkink and the domain. Oh well.

To be honest, I wouldn't feel comfortable acquiring the images and posting them here. I'm sure, officially, Joe still owns the rights to them.

Shame, as Tom's archive is pretty phenomenal!

John, my primary request is that you return to the best level of health and quality of life as soon as possible. That said, I suspect you will find more time available with little to do other than keeping your paws near the computer keyboard. I too supported Tom. I recall sending him a large box of orphan jocks and cups which I "adopted" from various school locker rooms. I also sent him about a dozen new old stock BIKE #10 "wheel" jocks which I hope he sold to make a few bucks to help pay for site maintenance

Hey, I am now of the age where an erection is interpreted as successfully climbing out of the recliner to standing position so much of the interaction on your site is about as exciting to me as watching dinosaurs doing jumping jacks. Would you have the time and bandwidth to add a thread where we might reconstruct something similar to Tom's archive? I've received some interest in my 50's and 60's retail jockstrap ads and school supply lists, and I think we could scrounge up quite a few photos of vintage jocks from web postings deemed to be in the public domain.

OMG! You're making my stitches hurt! Lol!

What I've done is create a new forum called History of the Jockstrap under the main Jockstrap Talk heading. If someone wants to create a new thread to hold Tom's archive then I can make the post "sticky" so it always stays at the top.

The new forum will be the perfect place to post photos in your vintage jocks, post vintage jock packing, old jockstrap advertising and history essays.

I've also moved @JSMike 's excellent jockstrap history research to the new forum and made it sticky. It's an incredible resource that should never be buried.

So, now the ball is in your court... ;)

John. Thanks so much. I suppose I should have edited my message to indicate "horny" dinosaurs doing jumping jacks to make my posting sound more sensual. The History of the Jockstrap forum is great. Might evolve into a "SUPPORT group" for us geriatrics! JS Mike's exhausting research on the history of Jocks is amazing. My contributions will seem menial compared to his offerings, but I should be caught up at work in a few days and will try to post some more 23 cent jock ads so people can comparison shop with your current pricing structure. Hey Everyone. Lets see if we can "borrow" the Allkink history archive to keep Tom's collection on line. Since most of the jock photos he posted have 3" or narrower waistbands, the archive shouldn't require that much BANDWIDTH. Right?

LOL on so many levels.

I know you're being funny but know that Bandwidth, especially as far as photos are concerned, is definitely not an issue.

The forum is there whenever you have time and want to contribute to it. I'm looking forward to seeing everything that gets posted.

Hey guys. I'm fairly new to this site, and I intend to get more involved in the near future. There's so much here to like.
One question: Do we know the date when AllKink is shutting down? The site is still up right now, but there is no message there about it ending.
John, thx for all your work making "Your Jockstraps" such a great site.

I believe AllKink is back up and Tom's archived photos has been retained. I can't imagine why anyone would shut down Allkink as it doesn't take a lot of money/bandwidth to keep a website like that going.

Is there anything ($$$) others can do to help? I supported Tom as well, gave him a trunk full of vintage jocks from my collection to sell or do as saw fit. Visited him at his apartment in Virginia as well. The stuff archived is irreplaceable, IMO.

Sorry to be so slow in responding (too much going on for me these days). But thank you for your kind words, and for creating the new forum. After so many years of collecting information, I am really pleased that there is interest in my amateur history. As you may recall, my interest got a real boost when in the the early 1990s I happened on Tom's Allkink Jockstrap Locker Room. I was shy at first, but later on I corresponded a bit with Tom, and found him gracious and encouraging. Like many others I am saddened to hear that his website has been discontinued. But much of what I have gathered began with frequent trips to his Locker Room; and of course, I have added more of my own since then. I very much appreciate your excellent work in keeping alive the fun and the history of jocks. I'm working on a new post for the 1950s - a lot to choose from, being the golden age of the jockstrap: Bike still going strong, other companies competing, photos in Life magazine, and the rise of the P.E. class.

Although I have recently slowed down considerably in posting pics there, i have 500+ pics on that site. At one point, I had a "mentor" that I would send photos from shoots for him to evaluate, and he'd suggest which ones were good to post. Glad the site is still up.
