About this site

This site contains pictures from the Usenet newsgroup alt.binaries.pictures.fashion.youth (formerly also alt.binaries.pictures.children). The content of this site keeps with the spirit of the a.b.p.c newsgroup: nothing you find here should offend anyone. All the pictures are going to be appropriate, respectful pictures of children. Please see a.b.p.c FAQ for more information about the group.

The pictures are replaced with a new set every Sunday. Not all of the pictures from the newsgroups go to my site. What I choose pretty my reflects my own idea of what is the best stuff of each week.

Some history and background

Before I started this site, I had been viewing the pictures of a.b.p.c. in a similar site called "Deltoid's a.b.p.c archive," for my own ISP didn't offer useful Usenet service. When that site went away, I found it unbearable to be without the pictures, and purchased a proper Usenet account from a third party. Once I had done that, I figured I could as well let others benefit of my good news feed and give something back to the community that way. Hence, in July 1998 bought also a web account for the pictures, and Adie's Kids was born — although its name back then was, after Deltoid's site, "Adie's a.b.p.c. archive."

Later on I started including pictures also from the newsgroup a.b.p.fashion.youth. Since there are pictures from both newsgroups in here, and they are replaced with a new set so often, this can hardly be called an archive. Hence the current, vague name "Adie's Kids."

And finally...

The response to this site has been overwhelmingly positive. I get an occasional email from the visitors, and practically all of them are Thank You mails. Usually they also include some question. Answers to the most common questions are in the FAQ. All this positive feedback is a terribly motivating thing, and the most important reason for me running this site. This does mean it's very much okay to email me about anything related :)
