Enough is enough. I'd remove the diapers and let him see you tossing the rest of them away. Put some (easy to wash) pants on him. One or two incidents should fix it. Be as supportive as humanly possible - he's not gonna like it but he can't stay a baby forever. Once the britches are on, do not pressure him to poop - let him tell you when he's ready.
Other ideas:
Take him to the store and let him pick out a mini toilet for himself. Assure him that its
his toilet and no one else is allowed to use it.
Keep telling him that he's a Big Boy now and that all his friends are pooping by themselves.
Tell him that you talked to [Spiderman/Hulk/SpongeBob/whoever] and he said to use the toilet. Embellish it some. I've had good luck with the superhero thing.
Buy a big giant candy bar and put it where he can see it. Explain that its his as soon as he makes a deposit and not before. Tell him its a reward from Spiderman/whoever. Bribery is fine if its used sparingly.
Report back.
