Alrighty so I am late to work..which is fine because I was already planning to stay late tonight but I need some help from you guys! As you know we run IMABDL and recently we have been struggling because we don’t know what it is that people really want to see in the site. We have given pretty much everything we can think of to help but we keep feeling like there is more that people want that we aren’t providing! I hope you all understand that this is a passion for me! I absolutely love diapers as you all know and everything that goes with them, and I love providing a site where ABDL can come together and share this love, but of course this doesn’t work without you all!
I want to help you all and I want to be able to give you all what you want but I am out of ideas, does anyone have any suggestions of either something you want added, taken away, or just something that you think my cause an improvement?? I’m trying really hard here and I just want everyone to be pleased and happy and brought together in one place 🙂
Alright.. gotta go to work, more when I get home! 🙂.
I think, and of course this is just personal opinion, most of the reason why I don’t visit the rest of imabdl is lack of extensive content? The forums are pretty dead here, and although the only way that would pick up is to start posting myself, it still feels sort of like a wasteland. That’s something that I think will just improve with time. As far as something you take part in, Adrian, I’d have to say that a more extensive array of pictures in the exclusive photo section would certainly draw more attention. I am insanely grateful that you put as much time into the blog as you do, and are willing to post pictures of yourself, but perhaps more variety in your shoots would be helpful? A lot of the pictures are just closeups of your diaper, which is great, but how about some wide shots (even with your face blurred out) so we could see more of you and what you’re doing?
Just suggestions, keep up the great work!!
Your own blog entry recently saying you knew nothing about ABDL parties, events, conventions, Munches and Brunches suggest the need on IMABDL for a calendar. People could then post anouncements of their planed ABDL events. DPF was doing that when I first joined them in 1990. Sure, back then by the time snail mail delivered the printed newsletter most of the events had happened, but those of us interested took to directly contacting event organizers so we got an early heads-up.
Having a calendar function makes that easier and quicker.
Also, there are still some technical problems with IMABDL features. Today the Forum ate some of my replies, logging me out while I was typing replies without signalling me. Maybe that is why the forum is not active?
The forum problem I believe is fixed. Our server was making upgrades as well as we added a upgrade to the forum to hopefully increase the speed of the board.
I really can’t say much for the IMABDL site, since i don’t yet have a membership to it. I have heard good things about it, and I like the fact that you have apparel (which I want to buy some of it soon!), updates to several blogs, and pictures. I mean, you got some better things going on there then over at Daily Diapers. I’m sure the biggest draw back is the fee. I honestly have no problem with that, as you of course have to pay for domains, upkeep of the site as well as bandwith ussage and so on. But I might say try opening it up to everyone for a day once in a while. Like maybe every other week, or once a month. That way, people who haven’t paid yet would be able to look around and see what you have going on, then they may be more inclined to come back and pay for the membership if they like what they saw. Based off the preview images on your site, I think I would have to agree with some of what I have heard elsewhere and that would be to have some wider shots, maybe some more public style shots or just shots that are more fun. Could be playing on the playground, walk in the park or anything really. I guess, though nice as they are…upclose diaper shots in the house are just “safe”. No need to show faces, but just being able to show how you, or others are outside of the home, or even in the home is fine. If you already have this sorta stuff…then ignore that part! 🙂 Otherwise, keep up the great work.
