this. you cant even search profiles? wat theeee.

is there any fixes inbound at all? is the website even remotely maintained?

Hi. Could somebody explain the meaning of 'troll' to me? I thought I understood it at one point but, after reading through this thread... now I'm not so sure. Thx.

A troll is a internet term for people that join a website only a cause a fuss or just to make fun of others.

Ah. Thank you very much.

Without hijacking the thread too much, do you think there is a gap in the market for a replacement?

I'm a web application developer, I'd be happy to make it a weekend project if people were actually going to use it, but I don't want to put the time and effort in if it won't actually get used!

I'd like to see a general site for making friends and relationships, and there are systems out there that can be worked with, so it needn't take too much work.

What do you all think?

I'd get with Alex on this actually. The current one is in desparate need of overhaul. Admittedly I have an account from three or four years ago that I've been locked out of almost that long simply because if you lose your password you may not get it back.

That said though, my biggest concern that I share with you on this is whether you'll be able to get the name out enough without Alex's help or without being able to improve Aspie Affection directly. I've sent some comments to Alex on how much I liked what OkCupid was doing and thought talking to OK about a sublet on their server might be a good idea - he mentioned that he'd rather improve AA instead but it sounds like between running PR for this site and all the other work he puts in its kind of gotten lost. My OKC makeover suggestion for AA though comes from that it does better than just put profiles out there - it gives people actual direction on who they may want to talk to; additionally I like the idea of quizzes, games, and things that give people social ammunition to talk back and forth.

That said to make a really great site would be a lot more than a weekends work and I wouldn't even suggest going that far (unless you chat up Alex and he's for letting you work on AA) but if you can get word back that you'd have at least several hundred users you could at least look at that format and come up with something, even if bare bones, which has the core essentials.
