The sister site for this one is on Yahoo and is not as easy to access as Schoppy's ISC but some of you are members both places and we like to get folks to visit both sites.

Yahoo can make it difficult, and membership is required to read the posts.

Here at the ISC anyone can read the posts, membership is required to post messages.

The URL is http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/AdultIncon/

If that is not working for you, try the shorter version into Yahoo Groups:
http://health.groups.yahoo.com which should bring up a search box. Type in "adults in diapers" and the search should come up with a few groups, and one of them should be Adult Incon. When you go to the Adult Incon page, you get a option to "join this group" and you go on from there.

Brew is behind in approving members....always a big list waiting to get in, but put down in your introductory message that you are a member of Schoppy's ISC and that should get you on the fast track to approval.

Yahoo, apart from any group, also has pass word access and you will need a password just to get into Yahoo and periodically you will be prompted to "sign in" to Yahoo....which for some may be a pain, especially compared to how easy it is to visit Schoppy's board.

I think you will find it worth the hassle to meet a whole different group of folks struggling with incontinence. As you all know, legitimate sites for discussing incontinence and especially wearing diapers for managing the wetting are hard to find. I only know of these two, and I searched for many years!

JoeK here and JoeS there......

Joe you know I love you but I wouldn't recommend that site from my experience there. You all talked me into going on there sometime back. So after a bunch of B.S I got on there using my husbands Yahoo account. Brew rules that site like a dictator/democrat (one in the same) don't let them know your a christian your post will be deleted! Free speech is not an attribute of that site. Unless you think of it as individuality is great as long as we all agree on the same thing :lol: After having a discussion with two opposing view points with another member. I was the one that got my post deleted leaving the others posts alone. I told the owner of the site to stick it up their you-who. and I dropped that site like a bad habit. So if you go there be sure to be singing kumbaya to yourself while your there :roll:

My two cents and some change.........................Sandy :)

Hi Sandy,
I love your lumping dictator/democrat....and I totally agree, and I'd love to go further but.....a political post would be off topic.....<grin>

You are right on in your assessment, however! Our fearless leader, Brew runs his show the way he likes to, which is fine, it's his group and he can do as he pleases, tho it will certainly alieniate some, like yourself. I'd like to think we are changing....for the better. We've had mods with whom I have not agreed but being the new kid on the block (I've been there just 5 years) I just bite my tongue.

Messages for posting accumulate in a que and whichever mod gets to them first, gets to post them or reject them or whatever. I'm the early bird so I get the messages submitted late night after other mods have gone to bed. I put up such messages early in the morning.

It's not my group; I am only a lowly moderator, but I would appeal to you to give it another try....owner and mod personalities not withstanding, there are a lot of good members with tremendous experience in dealing with incon and all the issues surrounding this vexing problem. I really think the info on Brew's site compliments the info here on Schoppy's site as there are a lot of good people for a wealth of info at both of these sites.

It's hard for me to take sides, as this site is my first obligation, having joined with Schoppy at his kind invitation when he left the original incon site when it was the only show in town. But Brew's site came along and needed help. With folks like Sandy and Paul Martiin stepping up here, this site was well managed and I could spend much of my time at Brew's site.

So, I don't what I can say, Sandy, I sure can't promise anything and I can't speak for Brew. We've had women join that group but then they remain silent. You are one of the best things that ever happened to the ISC and that was why I really wanted your charisma....sp? on Brew's group, hoping you'd split your time and talent between the two sites.

I've always had this dream of folks criss crossing back and forth between the two sites, but I must admit that I have found, after years of trying, that there seems to be a "core of people" at each site that stays pretty much with the particular site. And, that's not a bad thing...in fact, it gives a site a particular "flavor" if you will.

Joe,
Thanks for the invite, but after reading Sandy's post about the site, I don't think it is a place I would be welcomed. I am not afraid to let others know I am a Christian and I even pray for others and a few here on this board all the time. I have found that this site is been very open and honest and a great please to learn and grow.

I really don't see why you would want to be there Joe. Why do you want to be in a place where your not free to speak. I'm a conservative I believe people should be allowed to give apposing view points. Unlike the liberals that would rather silence all apposing view points. Maybe the reason the females stay off of there is the liberal leanings and they are not able to be heard?(just a thought) Sounds like you have way to many dictators on there. Tell Brew Sandy says he can still stick it :D

..........................................Sandy :)

Hi All

Thanks for the kind words about our site here. :)
I have always said that this is our (the incontinent community) site, not mine. I just maintain it.
With that being said, people here are free to have an open discussion on anything related to incontinence.
About the only thing that we don't like discussed on this site is things related to the AB/DL lifestyle.
I personally have nothing against the lifestyle and I am sure that there are some people here that may partake in it from time to time.
That is all fine, But this isn't the place to discuss it. I am sorry if that upsets anyone. :(

I cant say anything about Brew's board, because I haven't been there in a while. No real reason, I just haven't been there. Sorry Brew.

I do know that ABAIP.com has been bought by Gary Evans of XPMedical.com (hehe I just looked). Gary Evans is a great guy and I know that he will do a wonderful job with it. :D :D :D
