I have a new set of forums, I have big plans for them.

I will be linking my html content back to wrong planet as I think it's a good idea to network the other aspie sites. There isn't much at the moment, because only a few people know.

I'm always open to new ideas and suggestions.

Anyone is welcome to register.
(And it's not just for girls, it's for everyone.. parents included)

aspergersgirl.com

The HTML content is still under construction.

(I have asked Alex for permission to post a few threads linking to my site. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to ask him.)

I miss the macho forum, I know it was gross at times, but it was fun :(

I just think I need to get a few things clear.

It's called "aspergersgirl forums" because I named them after my site "aspergersgirl.com" which is about me (aspergersgirl) I think some guys have been mislead into thinking it's a forum for females..

THIS IS NOT THE CASE. Guys are JUST as welcome to join the forums. They're for everyone. :D

I might change the name of the forum in future if this continues to be a problem. I would like some feedback from other aspies just to see where I stand on the name confusion thing. If you could do that, I would really appreciate it :)

sorry but any site that encourages flame wars is not worthy of my time and attention.

Another forum...... interesting. :)

I may join but I wouldn't have if you hadn't said it was for everyone since it says aspergersgirl. That's the same reason I stay out of the Women's Discussion area. :lol:

After checking it out, I think I will join. I may go by a different username though, kinda tired of this one.

I've changed the banner of the forums so hopefully it will be straight forward. :) I hope the flowers aren't off putting for guys.. If you think the flowers are too girly by all means let me know and i'll change it :)

This isn't just some spin off forum because everyone is doing it, my site is going to be a big part of my life.
There will be a lot more about this site and my home page around on the internet over the next few months.

Hale, I think you should focus on "girls only", because if it's open to everyone then it'd be like every other aspie forum.

I would suggest giving members the option to cancel their account. I am bothered by the fact I am unable to cancel mine here and would not have joined if I had known before hand.

We men can be tough enough to enjoy your flowers. Make the forum how YOU like it.

I've left the flowers but by all means I want to hear members opinions about everything on my site. Nothing is more important than listening to the members.
I want my forum to be a safe, friendly environment.

Hi can you help to promote my website An Aspie penpal (Yahoo Messenger) of mine from Norway Chris is a website designer, he and I are setting up a website for my upcoming AS support group in the Werribee area on October 28th. He does the technical stuff and I do a lot of the text and aesthetic things. Check it out and tell me what you think. If you know any aspies tell them the address and get them to join the forum it is open to all aspies. I am an AS female.
