Apositive

This is to let our members know that, at some point in the next few days, Apositive will probably be offline for several hours - maybe as long as a day or two.

'Still trying to correct the problem that is preventing new accounts from being able to register. Please bear with us!

Welcome to Apositive, Calu! Apos has been pretty slow lately, but hopefully not dead. Politics seem to be happening all over the place, and they aren't a banned topic here so ya never know, but so far they haven't taken over. SO sorry about the difficulties in getting your account to work correctly,...

Mind reading?? What the hell are they on about now?

Good grief.
That's a lot of negativity to process. I hope Lord Grep gets things sorted out and realizes that you've moved on - and that he should do the same.

Ciri, if you know who they are and you don't feel safe about naming them, PM me with whatever info you have and I'll see if there's anything I can do.
(Probably not, but ya never know, and at least I will know to be watchful.)

Awww . . . don't you think she's cute?
Look at her pretty purple eyes!

Of course you count!
(And you won't even have to wear a diaper . . . unless you want to, of course. )

We've talked about installing a chat application several times and it keeps coming back to the same problem: moderation. I'm not automatically against the idea, in fact I think it could be valuable, but it would have to happen after the site is more active. Apos isn't as strictly moderated as AVEN a...

Meh . . . Apos has been around for quite a few years. We're not ready to give up just yet, but if it turns out that there's no demand for a website about asexuality which is primarily geared toward responsible adults, then so be it. We can always archive the database and turn off the lights. I don't...

Hmmm. Verrry interesting. I wonder if Abby will still be recognizable if I shrink her down to barely bigger than a real bee? I think I'll have to do that in order to make her fit but she has very clean lines and it might be okay. Now I have something to play with, but I won't tackle it until late mo...

I had nothing to do with making the current header so I've never tried to dig into that part of the ACP, although I think I might have found where it's located. I don't even know where the image file (files?) that it's currently using are stored, though. I don't know if Karl has them someplace or if...

I looked at it and . . . I have no idea? What's a coding system? Ask me something about biology, genetics or maybe even art theory, but no math or computer science, please. I'm genuinely dedicated to the cause of promoting asexuality awareness, but the only reason I still have this admin job is beca...

Roughly 6 months ago, around the beginning of 2017, CatBunny offered to design a mascot for Apositive. She had a bunch of great ideas and we finally settled on the idea of a stylized honey bee because they are almost all asexual and yet they are intensely devoted to their peers, productive, valuable...

It's good to see all of you guys! I miss the days when Apos used to be livelier. It's discouraging to come here just to see a digital ghost town - and then, to add insult to injury, the site keeps partially logging me out so I can't see new posts. Thanks to Catbunny's amazing talent, we now have our...

You won't get any argument from me, and certainly no pitchforks. I have long maintained that there are at least two kinds of asexuality, although I termed the acquired kind "functional" asexuality. Those posts are around here someplace, but they're a few years old. In any case, functional ...

I admit that I'm puzzled by the idea of being "ace in practice"? That sounds more like voluntary celibacy, although I might be reading it wrong. I can definitely understand how physical disabilities and chronic depression can play havoc with a person's feelings of self-worth, and that can ...

I thought that a fruit was the seed-bearing part of the plant, and a vegetable was anything else (leaves, stem, roots, etc.) Don't get me started on the various types of fruit, though. (Berries? Drupes? Droopy berries? HellifIknow!) Besides, I could be wrong about everything. Ya never know. I apprec...

Harvests the specially grown squash x lychee hybrids (squeechees) and floats them across the field on a river of wine.
(That was a LOT of grapes!)

Oh NO!
*frantically tries to sort the grapes by color as they approach* (damned OCD!)

*lobs a trebuchet load of Kiwi fruits while gathering up the grapes to make wine*

Ha! Bananas are too bendy to fly straight . . . I hope. *hides inside a giant pumpkin until the barrage stops*

*Rolls a box full of wood apples across the road*

Wha . . . what?? I didn't see anything about that in the rules. Besides, the cloves are mostly a guide to help with assembly. But - beware! My durians have finally arrived, slightly flattened in transit, but mostly okay. *carefully rolls the best-looking, roundest durians over the row of be-clovened...

I'm going to have to find out what these odd fruits are. I can't decide whether to launch them or eat them. That probably means that I should be thinking about dinner. Meanwhile . . . *carefully lines up a long row of mangoes and pokes them full of cloves* I'm not going to say what I'm planning to d...

I will match your kumquats and raise you by 150 loquats launched from a catapult.
They are seedy and orange, so they shall be squished!

I can't wait!
As an American, I really look forward to smashing a wide variety of orange things.

Sorry to hear that you ran afoul of their rules. Apparently, based on what some of our members have said, it's a very easy thing to do. Things have been quiet around here lately, but we're not dead - honest! :D Welcome to Apositive! Feel free to post your video. The rules here are pretty lenient sin...

Sure! I think it would be fun to see what ideas you come up with.

(And Thank You! I REALLY appreciate this. You can't imagine what a lift it is to finally have something interesting happening on the site.)

True. I was thinking that the stripes might be something useful to play with. Also, it would be easy to make their wings into a stylized letter A. Or heck . .. the whole little bee could almost look like an A. I was never good at that type of art. I can almost visualize it sometimes but I can never ...

Hahaha! I think I needed a good pun this morning. ('Cuz I'm trying not to think about national events. *sigh*) I always think of the whiptail lizards, too, when I consider asexual animals, but I wonder if maybe they're the wrong kind of asexual? The thing I like about honeybees (the workers) is that...

Hmmmmm . . . thanks for bringing back this thread, Cat. I wonder, is the asexual community ready to truly support a more grown-up alternative to AVEN, or are they content to hang around on the playground with the kids who are still trying on (or inventing) a new sexual identity every few months as t...

How do you see any political basis for the current definition of asexuality?

By that, I mean: "An asexual person is a person who does not experience sexual attraction."
