New Poll Up On The Site
I know many of you don’t use AVEN, but do you think AVEN should have an aromantic forum? You’ll find the poll beneath the banner on the right hand side.

1.) I worry that this post will start another round of idiotic trolling 2.) This story is actually depressing 3.) Part of me still wants to say “Suck it, Trolls.” Note: The survey also showed that people are more likely to discriminate against all sexual minorities.

This is the poll that had the fewest number of participants. This may be because of its subject matter, but this is not a subject on which I wish to be light hearted.

Okay, it looks like I will be able to keep Asexual News on its current server a little while longer.  The provider granted an extension, and it looks like I will be able to pay the hosting costs. With luck, I will even be able to pay them before the extension runs out. While there are other issues I need to resolve, I do not feel like sharing the details of all of them. I am still fairly...

I searched Grooveshark for "asexual".
imyouraziraphale: I found a song called “asexual meat kitchen”.  You would have  had more success if you searched for Asexuals.

The choices in the voting booth were depressing
I went to vote in the primaries today. The presidential candidates were listing first.  I was greeted with these names: Romney Gingrich Santorum Paul Romney would be the most acceptable of these candidates, as he’s a social moderate. (His actions are more important than his statements during the primary.) I am uncomfortable with the way his church involves itself in the political...

I neither blocked her nor reported her, although I was clamoring for her to go away just as much as everyone else.  This leads me with a minor ethical problem. (Fortunately, it will not cost me any sleep.) I think Homophobic Aces was incredibly offensive, but I acknowledge her right to free speech. (She also has some rights to freedom of the press, which does apply to blogs. However, this freedom...

Asexual Men Are Weak →
Finally, I have an excuse to get out of heavy lifting. I always hated this stereotype of men. In fact, I hate it almost as much as I hate heavy lifting. On a more serious note, if anyone can read the source and figure out what the hell he’s talking about, please let me know if I’m completely off here.

Audio and Video Ability
At one time, the site had the ability to let authors upload audio and video content. The ability got lost during successive Joomla upgrades. The extension that enabled this has recently put out content that will work with Joomla 2.5. This means that video content coming from our authors will be coming soon. It also means that if you have video content of news or event,  you can submit it to us...

Asexual News New Poll (TW -Maybe, Not Sure.)
In our most recent poll we ask if you are an Asexual or if you knew an Asexual who needed the services of a suicide prevention hotline. I’m not entirely thrilled with the wording on this one, and understand if you want to take issue with it. By the way, if you have ideas for polls you would like to see, please use my inbox or submit a poll idea to me.

Altered Gamer: Warning
I have learned about a site called Altered Gamer. It is owned by a company I used to write for. At the end of last year, it said all the writers would no longer receive DRPM on their content. I requested they return my content to me because they broke their end of the contract, but it really wasn’t worth pursuing, as I assumed the company was about to go bankrupt anyway. Now, they have the...

I Really Thought The Stories About These Warnings...
But on a bottle of generic ambien that the doctor thinks will help stop night movements, I found these warnings “May cause drowsiness” “Use care when operating heavy machinery.” Okay, maybe the first one is necessary for legal reasons, but regarding the second, are people really that stupid?
