chair jockey Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 This is a very tight and specific poll. I realize the question could proliferate into many other questions, but I'm being very specific here. Link to post Share on other sites

ChillaKilla Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I do. The ToS make it very attractive for that purpose. It (AVEN) makes NeoGAF look like a poop-flinging hellfest in comparison. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Yep. It's a great community with a load of different stuff to talk about. I have hours of fun in JFF! Link to post Share on other sites

Still Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Of course, because...that's kinda its purpose for the most part. Link to post Share on other sites

I realize the question could proliferate into many other questions, but I'm being very specific here. I could read this in a few ways either you are asking "Do you just use it for chat room" "Do you only discuss Asexual topics" or "Do you discuss various non-sexual related topics" Personally, I don't use the chat much and honestly, there is so many people in there is gives me social anxiety trying to respond to several people at once. I get in it on occasion but when I first joined I kept come in, not saying anything and leaving immediately after. I have the same problem offline trying to talk with people. I prefer forums as you can think before you respond or wait an hour or even take a day before you come back and respond to something. Also you are generally only responding to a few people at a time. When I look for forums I tend to have varied subjects and ideas which I post and they are not all always relating to the main topic of the forum. When I like a forum or a website I tend to stick mainly to that website. I was on three other websites for various things before but now I mostly only come here and have dropped my other websites. Before I had a forum, Twitter, and a chat site I was using and I almost never on twitter anymore since I joined this website. Link to post Share on other sites
iff Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 my favourite section is just for fun district of it entailing just for fun, the chatterbox and aven arcade so yes, i use it as my general forum rather. Link to post Share on other sites
Anthracite_Impreza Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 There's not much else to talk about when you've discussed and accepted your asexuality... Link to post Share on other sites
m4rble Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Yes, I probably prefer non-asexuality related topics because asexuality related topics are often the same conversations I've seen on here dozens of times.(not that that's a bad thing, just that I prefer to talk about other things considering that it's not really new to me.)

I'm guessing you don't mean exactly what you said, because there's loads to talk about on AVEN other than asexuality. Link to post Share on other sites
Nebulous Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Yes. It used to be the only forum where I'd participate in off-topic discussions and such. I don't see much use in always perusing the on-topic sections when I haven't much to say, and I don't know enough about certain topics to adequately contribute to conversations about them.

That's what I mean, once you've talked about asexuality you have to use AVEN as a general forum cos otherwise there'd be nothing else to talk about. Link to post Share on other sites
Homer Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Short answer: Yes. Slightly longer answer: Since the topic of the site is static, it would fulfill its individual purpose rather quickly. Most of the questions asked are either 'Am I ace yes/no' or 'My partner/friend/relative is ace what do I do'. The answers get pretty predictable over time. There wouldn't be much of a point to spend extended amounts of time on here if it weren't for the community. Link to post Share on other sites
Starscream Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Yes, considering the majority of my posts are in JFF/Chatterbox and Off-Topic. I'll occasionally participate in the other areas, but not much. Link to post Share on other sites
Busrider Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I answered "yes &no" since I am not sure if the forum uses me or vice versa when I am answering general questions. - Things would be clearer if I asked them. Link to post Share on other sites
