Height Site's Guide Tall Clubs
The Height Site has gathered this list of links,
articles and other resources to help you through the world of tall
clubs.
The History of Tall Clubs
This British
article chronicles the origin of the world's first tall club
and how it evolved into TCI (Tall Clubs International)
India's first tall club
Here's an
article that chronicles the expansion of India's first tall
club.
Infiltration
Here's an
article written by a short guy in Ohio. It is a fun exploration
of how he had to confront his own insecurities about his height
while meeting a local TCI affiliated group called, 'High Society'.
What are tall clubs really like?
The only way you'll really know what your local
club is like is to attend one of their events and meet some of their
members. Every tall club or group is different and reflects the
type of people in the area and the members on their roster. Many
of the American clubs will measure you at the door, give you a name
tag and make sure you meet several regulars and perhaps a few officers
of their local organization.
Tall clubs and groups offer a special opportunity
to interact with other people experiencing your unique perspective.
The taller you are, the more you'll enjoy meeting other people who
understand what you have to deal with.
Some people attend events or join tall groups
to find a romantic partner, but most seem interested in tall group
to enjoy the cameraderie and fun.

Connect with tall folks ONline
The Height Site has compiled a list of Web Sites that cater to the
tall community online.
Bulletin Boards
Like their offline counterparts, bulletin boards are web pages that
allow people to post and read messages. Sometimes a log-in is required
to ensure accountability and to stop robots from posting 'spam'
or unwanted commercial messages.
Tall
Talk
This site has about five message boards, each with it's own topic.
Every forum is moderated so offensive posts are deleted quickly.
Tall
Person's Club of Great Brittain and Ireland's Message Board
This is a great European resource with over 14 different topic to
choose from. All of them are moderated and a quick sign-up is required.
More Message Boards
Many tall clubs have Web Sites and a few seem to have their own
bulletin boards. Check our Club List
for links. Many of the groups listed below also have message boards
as well.
Online Groups
Online groups are built around bulletin boards, but most offer more
amenities to support a community like a calendar or a roster of
registered members and folders to upload links or photos.
Tall
Support News Group
This is one of the oldest online groups. It seems to be a mixed
bag of commiserating, support and online tomfoolery. It is un moderated
and beligerant posts from short people are not uncommon.
Yahoo!
Groups
Yahoo! has created a quick template that allows people to easily
set up a website for any and all types of affinity groups. There
are quite a few dedicated to tall issues, though their quality varies
greatly and depends largely on the moderator. Most it seems denegrate
rather quickly into a spam fest for porn, though at best they can
be quite good...
We've recently discovered that we're not alone in
our dislike of Yahoo! All of their censorship issues and faltering
technology combined with poor customer service seem to add up to
low marks from many quarters. Your experience may be different however
and if it is please tell us about it!
MSN
Groups
It seemed only a matter of time before Microsoft would join the
fray. Their set-up is nearly identical to the Yahoo! Groups. They
haven't been online long enough for us to get emails (either good
or bad) about their service
