Site Development

Instead of being a mega-page that covers every aspect of ABDL life, Understanding Infantilism is structured to work along with partnering websites. For example, all sites are invited to link directly to the glossary or to individual words in it, as discussed in "Need a Definition? Don't Write a New One". This is the most efficient way to achieve the page's vision. Another way is by encouraging link-friendly web page features and puzzle-like connectivity.

More recently, alternative information structures such as Hybrid FAQ pages, targeted to specific audiences, were proposed.

It also has a developmental Style Manual being refined and implemented on a going-forward basis, and a statement on the coverage of non-baby-themed masochism.

Legacy Texts

In the past, a number of articles and texts have been added to Understanding Infantilism. However, some no longer fit into the site structure. They ended up here.

• Other books:
  • Clifford Allen, A Textbook of Psychosexual Disorders
  • William B. Arndt, Jr., Gender Disorders and the Paraphilias ,
  • Roy F. Baumeister, Masochism and Self,
• "Understanding Infantilism". This is the 1995 essay that was the initial core for "BitterGrey's Den", later renamed Understanding Infantilism
• "Seeking Understanding": BitterGrey's introductory post to Alt.Sex.Fetish.Diapers. A lot has changed since then.
• Comments from the A.S.F.D community on Diapers in Other Cultures.
• "Features for Easy Navigation" detailed the features this website had ten years ago.
• For Parents: An article that was superseded by two better articles by Stormbird, If Your Child is an Infantilist... and When Adult babies have children of their own.
• How-To index converted to a more visual, functional structure. The other two of the three pages were how_easy.php and how_fun.php.
• "Fast Cars" An old speculation about inferring the cause of infantilism.
• "Need a Definition? Don't Write a New One" advocated using a shared glossary, instead of tasking all AB/DL websites with writing their own.
• How you can help spread understanding of infantilism
• The Rubber Sheet: The case history of Michael L. from the files of googoob@aol.com
• Where can I get in Touch with other Infantilists?
• "What is with the Puzzle Pieces Icons?" advocated teamwork among AB/DL websites, to avoid duplicated content and duplicated work.
• "Wanted:Critics" page added to encourage readers to send feedback about any unmet needs or preferences.
• The 2005 version of the ABDL primer. (It was developed during 2005, but was first published in January 2006 as a replacement for the removed wikipedia infantilism article.)
• In 2006, the Wikipedia article underwent a major transition. Here is an archived copy of the 2005 Wikipedia Paraphilic Infantilism Article. In January 2006, it was taken down by an administrator and replaced with two sentences and a link to a presentation on pedophilia. A replacement based on the AB/DL Primer was put up. This replacement was then reviewed and questioned, sometimes line by line. Here are the Justifications for some sections of the 2006 Wikipedia Paraphilic Infantilism Article.
• Updating the ABDL triangle from the 1995 to the 2007 versions.
• "Searching for Information" got shelved when users became more Google-savvy.
