ADISC closing

The long-running ADISC site is closing very soon...Sep 16 or sooner...we may be getting some new members in this area. I did mention in one of the plastic pants groups there that I'm a member here.

Do you know the reason?

You should be able to see this link. It's Moo's explanation, in full. Scroll down as needed.

Sad to see it closing after all these years. hopefully someone is able to buy it and keep it running. or at least take an archive snapshot as there was lots of good posts.

Absolutely. It's such an enormous gathering of all kinds of information about kinks, the whole AB/DL thing, but also about experiences with medical incontinence, and of course, not to forget, a huge databank for everyything diaper related.

I really think this site should be kept up and running. or at least archived as a whole, so that people can still browse its content.

He is willing to hand the site over to someone who has the interests of the members at heart.

Maybe webby might want to take it on.

He seems interested in selling it for quite a large sum which is not ideal. It disqualifies people who can't afford it even if they were qualified and it introduces incentives to recover the cost.

Does the forum have long-standing community members who could be trusted? Does not have to be one individual but a group who would share responsibilities.

I tried to talk to the admin but I am not an established contributor so I can't PM him. Anybody willing to try suggesting it to him directly or finding out why he rejected this idea?

I’m not familiar with this, but it would be nice to have more people joining us. More women on the site would be great.

I haven't been on ADISC in a long time. I think my place in ABDL is so specific that I just kind of got fed up with trying to fit in after a few years. That's not to criticize it. I know it's been a lifesaver for so many people.

That said, I always assumed it skewed very hard toward males. But apparently so does Zity. Not sure how many women would join from there.

Zity membership may be more skewed towards men, but there are a fair percentage of active female members that contribute. I don’t have any data to back this up, only what I see in the posts. Maybe I gravitate to their offerings, but I find them more interesting and less made up

In the early 90’s, there were a number of excellent kink forums, including pictures of beautiful women having their rectal temperature taken. Sadly, this has all been almost eliminated. Are people becoming more prudish, and less sexual, or is it because of increased costs, and fewer participants?

A true tragedy.

There are very few sites left for fetishes like ABDL.

I think this site, along with Daily Diapers and ADISC, were the top three.

It really is a huge shame. I don't think I ever saw any aggression or nasty posts. There was a breadth of topics and information that was totally unequalled anywhere else.

It was great to be able to read and post in the Incontinence threads as well as there is often friction between the two groups.

It would be great to have an archive that one could continue to consult.

Definitely very sad, there has been a lot of really good help there.

I think the reality in today's world is there is no place for sites that can't monetize to support their mission. Special interests like ours don't seem to able to manage financial sustainability. Subscriptions, advertising or a combination of both are needed for sustainability. The only viable alternative is to create a sub group within an existing social app and most seem to exclude or place undesirable limits on content.

That’s sad. Somewhat telling that I first heard about it here. I mostly used it to try and (unsuccessfully) make local friends. While I am an adult baby, I have a strong medfet interest that keeps me more active on zity. I’m glad this site is still here after two decades!

It’s a big shame. Full of a lot of friendly people as well as a ton of information that’s going to be lost forever…

It was gone as scheduled when I looked in this morning. It takes real dedication to do all the work it takes to keep a site like that...or like this one going. Hang in there, Webby!

Does anyone know how "stable" zity is? I joined quite recently so I have no idea who/how many people are running the site, it would be a real shame if it disappeared.

I imagine it's not possible to download the entire zity site as an archive?

A group of folks from ADISC has started SPANDI. Org.

It seems to pretty much have the same format as ADISC.

Ill probably get an account there sooner or later. But I find I enjoy the more mature group at Zity a little bit more. 😄
