2002: The Year in Review

2002 was indeed quite a year for this site. For starters, the site was given a big makeover with a new layout to make navigating the site easier. It has grown significantly with the addition of new stories and updates as well as new surveys and survey submissions, and plenty of diaper sightings. At about the beginning of the year I discovered how to use Photoshop to create all the drawings that I do, having posted them to my site for about half of the past year. Most recently I added Story Content Codes to the site and have been counting on the efforts of other people to help put these codes in place (there are lots more of them to be done). I look forward to 2003 and continuing to make this site a fun, informative, and for some people, a reassuring place for them to come and feel good about their needs and/or their desires to wear diapers.

Over the past year this site has received:

104 new or updated Contributed Stories
90 new or updated True Accounts
648 responses to the Survey for Diaper Boys
350 responses to the Survey for Brothers of Diaper Boys
480 responses to the Survey for Sisters of Diaper Boys
294 responses to the Diaper Discipline Survey
228 responses to the Diaper Ratings Survey
485 Diaper Sighting Reports (child), 47 adult sightings
512 Guestbook entries

I want to thank everyone who was a part of this collective effort to make this site what it has become.

Christmas

I hope everyone had a good Christmas this year. I had a good time with my family and exchanging gifts. Among other things, I received a new DVD player and The Matrix to help get my DVD collection started, a $20 Best Buy gift card, a $20 Hastings gift card with which I have already bought an Ill Nino CD, a new pair of Levi's 550 jeans, a new black long-sleeved shirt, a travel bag, plus some other odds and ends. Some new diapers would have been nice, though. As my birthday will come in just two months, I can hopefully count on getting the things that I didn't get for Christmas then (except for the diapers, unfortunately). Incidentally, some of the boys who write to me told me they got diapers for Christmas (nice, thick cloth diapers, nonethless) and were happy to get them. We decided to have prime rib for dinner as a change of pace, having had turkey for Thanksgiving just a month ago. While I love turkey, this was a good alternative. Once again mother nature did not bring us a white Christmas, as it just isn't quite Christmas without any snow on the ground. The last white Christmas we had was in 1998, and before that, 1990. In spite of this one minor disappointment, it was a great holiday.
