Scotty.97645 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Hey all, Just wondering if any of the older members were around during the early days of the “CompuServe” forum and the DPF (Diaper Pail Friends) years? I was. Have some fond memories from meeting fellow ABDL’s in person back then. We had a group that met in Florida. I also went to San Francisco to meet some folks at Tommy’s. 2 Link to comment
Little BabyDoll Christine Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 DPF was on CompuServe. I was not And I do not think you are "old school" unless you were in cloth diapers and rubber panties in their heyday 1 1 Link to comment
drynot Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I'm still here...but I didn't have Compuserve here in Canada. It wasn't until I discovered Usenet newsgroups that I thought anyone else was into diapers. The 90's was an enlightening time for me. 2 Link to comment
willnotwill Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I was on the CompuServe HSX forums groups back in the late eighties. I then too switched to alt.sex.fetish.diapers on usenet using a anonymous account at a local ISP. Amusingly, a long time friend who was a principal in the ISP turned out to be an AB as well and caught my alter ego. 2 Link to comment
oznl Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Yep. alt.sex.fetish.diapers via Usenet back in the very early 90s. 2 Link to comment
willnotwill Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I was lr@digex.net (my compuserve acct was just numbers). I published a few stories there, some of which got plagiarized all over the internet (in some large part to the pedo [That site]). I caught someone actually posting one story under their own name as author on ADISC (thankfully moo stomped on him quickly) and another time I saw it posted as a "true story" on expierience.com. 1 Link to comment
Nia Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Yep. I was on Compuserve. Section 7 had an AB board. I also had a rented PO Box so I could get the DPF newsletter. I couldn't have it show up at my front door back then. 1 Link to comment
Scotty.97645 Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 Thanks for the reminders... Yes, it was CompuServe HSX Section 7's AB board. Got to know several others and we eventually met in real life for small AB get-togethers in Florida, and once, in San Francisco (at Tommy and Marky's house). Yes, I still wear both disposables (although now they have bona-fide ABDL print diapers, which are great), and cloth with plastic pants. I wasn't into the rubber pants. I had a couple of long-term relationships with ladies, who knew about this fetish. They were accommodating at times, but not into it themselves. Those didn't work out mostly because they wanted children, and I did not. So, I live alone now. 2 Link to comment
rusty pins Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 DPF here back in the day where you waited for 2 months for your next printed newsletter to arrive by snail mail, along with a reply from any member you contacted via a letter in an envelope dropped in the USPS box! 3 Link to comment
Crinklz Kat Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Noone's mentioned wetset.net yet?? While not their primary focus, they did have a diaper section. Link to comment
Pampertimmy Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 It was in the 90s when I found out I wasn’t the only one that liked (loved) diapers and baby things. It was a very enlightening time for me. DPF was one of the first sites diaper sites I found on this new thing called the internet. I couldn’t believe that I wasn’t alone in this desire. I thought I was a freak and that no one else would ever understand my feelings. 2 2 Link to comment
Wetpants Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I ran the HSX board on CompuServe for a bit.... It was where I first learned there were others. To this day, I can remember that initial post that I read and how it impacted me. Up until then, I thought I was all alone....a single "freak" of nature. 3 Link to comment
Kapelmeister Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I had to laugh at the title "Old School" from the 90's. I was into it in the 70's before any internet. I'd get the DPF newsletter snail mail. Now that's OLD school. 1 2 Link to comment
dondd Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I did not do the DPF snail mail stuff as I had not yet realized there was a larger world out there than Penthouse Letters. Once I had access to the internet, though, I spent too much time at DPF and many others including alt.sex.fetish diapers. I recognize some of those names here! Link to comment

Nia Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I used to get the snail mail DPF newsletter every other month and there was a second one that came in the month's in between but I can't remember the title of it. Getting that brown envelope in the mail was always something I waited for. Like others it meant I wasn't the only one. 2 Link to comment
babypb Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 ...yep, did the WetSet, alt.sex.fetish.diapers, and DPF in the mid '80s. I'm 61 now, born also in '61. Link to comment
steviet Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I must be old school in that i was playing in makeshift diapers in the 1950s. I did discover DPF when I got internet with a slow dial up connection probably circa 1988. That blew my mind. Never got the newsletter. 1 Link to comment
AbabeBill Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Yes, an early internet user here too. I was on DPF way back then. I never new DPF (snail mail news letter) prior to the internet, unfortunately. I wish I had. Remembering the days of, clicking a download, or just a large page, and leaving the room to do something else in the mean time. Oh, this page is starting to load, I’ll vacuum the house, should almost be fully loaded by then. ? GET OFF THE PHONE, I NEED TO USE THE COMPUTER! ? 3 Link to comment
square_duck Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Well....not the '90's, but I guess I can be a grad of the "old school", since I didn't get 'on line' internet until around June 2000. Spent time on the Wetset boards, and discovered DPF.. And as others have stated, I was in SHOCK when I found others were like me, and that I was'nt alone in my.....'wierdness'. Back then, dial up was your (make believe) friend...but it was all I had... So I am about 10 years behind the more 'adventuours' of the rest of you....but thats ok....we all move at our own speeds.. 1 Link to comment

steviet Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I would scour the pages of Forum magazine for articles about AB/DL 2 Link to comment

Joey_AB_DL Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 I came across DPF in the early 2000’s when I was starting to search the internet for diapers. Like many others, DPF allowed me to realize I was not alone or an enigma, there were others who enjoyed diapers. It was a big weight off my shoulders as I realized this and it really helped in my still continuing journey to accept myself. I did join but I was not active at that time. I found this site in the mid-2000’s and it has been my little home since. I often wonder how my life would have been different if I discovered other ABDL’s or the community earlier in my life.

I used to use one of those to provide technical support from home in emergencies. Happy days... 1 Link to comment
