Update on the new board
« on: August 21, 2013, 09:53:36 PM »
We'll have the board up and running tomorrow night.  It should be online and open for registration by the end of the week.

Hopefully this will preserve the best things about AFF - the supportive, advocacy-centered culture in which members can find stimulating discussions, give and receive guidance, and develop lasting friendships.

Okay but...I was just pondering....wouldn't this mean you and sky are like the new Amy and Gareth?


Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

Only if they get married. Until then, they're Alex Plank and whoever his girlfriend is. :P

I prefer that board, though. Its more like this one.
"I’m fearless in my heart.
They will always see that in my eyes.
I am the passion; I am the warfare.
I will never stop...
always constant, accurate, and intense."

Yes, it is and that's cool. 

We just want something more like what AFF was - supportive, informative, with an emphasis on advocacy.  It would be hard to add a youth component to a site like that, and that is important to us because autistic kids need that support more than anyone.

There was a small youth section on AFF. The young members mostly posted where everyone else did, and their contributions were treated the same.

We all find commonalities in others online. Why set the youth apart?

AFF may have started as an advocacy forum. but it was mostly a support and general discussion forum near the end. Are you looking to set things back to the way AFF once was?

Also, why can't there just be one thread on the skyblue1/AspieMomma forum? Why do I have to click back and forth? :( :P
