How many of us are left from ASPD?

[bicuspid]

I was on ASPD for years under the same handle although I was more of a SW kinda guy back then. And before ASPD I hung out on the newsgroup Alt.Sex.Providers.Dallas which is where I assume the acronym came from. Anybody remember newsgroups before the cheap bastard ISPs killed them?

Yep. Had the same handle then.

The aspd historians say the name actually came from the alt.sex.prostitutions.discussi ons newsgroup, although Dallas was ground zero. I used to think the "D" was for Dallas.

You don't need to rely on the memories of those historians. The original Usenet post announcing a.s.p.d is still available.

As one of the people who read that post back when it was originally made, I guess that makes me one of the elders. I had an aspd account back when it went web as opposed to Usenet, but the wife and I took a break from swinging for a few years(~16), and just now starting to stretch our legs again. I've had tangential ties to the various groups since the Usenet days, so I had accounts and lurked, but never posted all that much. I remember a lot of what people are talking about. The founding of Private Connections and the rise of screening. P411 as a freebie service for Private Connections clients. So long ago now.

I also remember the Usenet flame wars with trolls like Tucson guy, and the "no fat chicks" guy. Also scammers trying to say they had come up with a way of setting up legal brothels but wanted you to buy a $1300 up front "membership" to get access to their "clubs".

I also remember some really cool people like Colonel Jim, Leah from Mobile, and of course Sera P.(the Aussie whore).

Wow, I remember most of them. I was especially fond of Jennifer Tyler.

My nickname forever and ASPD handle was EZ. My picture was a frog with a seriously long tongue.

[Doug41]

I was there in 2002

[FireKitten]

A client referred me to ASPD, begged me to sign up, since it would be safer...so I joined in 2003.

And what a ride,the HH's, late night chat, in depth posts, fights. Good or bad, I miss that place and time.
