How many of us are left from ASPD?

I'm an old schooler too. Lower volume and very selective, just like now. Originally Posted by fastyellowmini

not many

And before ASPD was another forum I discovered circa 1999. I've been trying to remember the name for the past 30 minutes. ASPD then took off as the provider/hobbyist reference site.

To think it was called the Delphi board, if not, Delphi was two before ASPD.

Mid 90's for me...I've met many a wonderful lady on ASPD. I thought it sure beats the yellow pages.

I was on ASPD since sometime in the 90's. Was a lot more active then. Lot's of good memories, going to socials, meeting up at Joy of Austin when it was Joy of Austin. The one provider I regret not seeing is Raquel from SA. Anyone remember her. That woman was sex on heels. I saw many others from ASPD, a lot from Dallas and a couple from Houston, mostly Austin women though. I need to get active again, create new memories.

I was on ASPD from probably mid 2002 until it ended.

My ASPD handle was the same - nothingtolose

I was on ASPD with a few reviews from some ladies long since retired. Was on the Usenet group before that. Was a big fan of Georgia Powers and the Nurse Jones Diaries. I broke my hobby cherry with Sherrie, and was spoiled for life by Olivia of Austin after vouching her in as a newcomer. She did not last too long as I suspect someone here swept her away for their own. Loved reading Kosher's reports about his trips to LaZona Rosa in Nuevo Laredo.

Just remembered Allison and Ashley from San Antonio who used to do awesome doubles in Austin every once in a while Originally Posted by juggernaut6

There is an awesome memory! I knew both of those ladies from BEFORE their ASPD days. One of my most fortunate experiences ever and should Allison ever reappear at any age I would probably be dialing her number.

I was in another state and in correspondence with Amber when she created ASPD way back when. She had some problems from some guys running boards outside of Texas who were trying to pressure her. I provided some help.

The name actually comes from a misunderstanding of the Usenet newsgroup naming conventions, and she had chosen the name before I had a chance to suggest otherwise.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet_newsgroup

Usenet is still alive but not nearly as dominant as it was before the advent of the web. It's a service on the internet that doesn't rely on a single central server. Rather messages are passed from system to system, and in some ways it's more like a public email system with predefined folders so messages are pre-sorted by topic. The naming scheme is hierarchical. "alt" is for various alternative topics... e.g. non-computer science topics which instead are filed under "comp." "alt.sex" is for sex related topics. "alt.sex.prostitution" is for prostitution related topics. "alt.sex.prostitution.discussi on" is restricted to *meta-discussion* about the alt.sex.prostitution newsgroup. E.g. what topics are and aren't appropriate? Can providers post ads? How can spamming be minimized? etc.

In other words alt.sex.prostitution.discussio n isn't for discussions about prostitution, it's for discussion about the alt.sex.prostitution newsgroup. People discuss prostitution in alt.sex.prostitution.

So calling the board ASPD was vaguely inspired by the Usenet group, and it was a misunderstood inspiration at that. In no technical sense, however, did ASPD spring from Usenet.

I was here when aspd started. I forget what it was before that. LOL But I was around when the internet first came out and ppl realized it's true potential for finding p***y.

Hello again. ASPD was fun and I'm happy to report in all honesty I've forgotten all the drama. Also honestly, when ECCIE crosses my mind I still want to call it ASPD. I hope my friends from a long time (ago, now) over there are still my friends. Happy Holidays 2014 to all!
