I'm afraid I'm not as well-versed in asexuality, so I cannot offer advice on that front. It does sound like you have been treading with caution and care with many of the steps towards reparation you've made, and that's definitely a noteworthy point. For your partner's sake, it is fortunate that you have outreached so much and extended helping hands, though it seems as if that is not what she would like. Perhaps the affection that you see yourself giving is mistaken for coddling in her eyes, which builds up pressure in her. It really does sound as if you're taking many essential measures to salvage the relationship, and I hope that you both may see that. While you have mentioned some points of anger where you have exploded (though maybe a less powerful word would work here better), you seem to be considering her emotions and thoughts. As NatJones said above, communication is key. I hope that she is contributing as much effort as you are to repair these issues. If she is not, then it is a possibility that she does not intend to put forth the same constructive energy into this relationship. It may be that, or perhaps that she is still under great stress and simply cannot put forth that energy right now. Both of these problems have solutions, I'm sure, though I cannot confidently vouch for any, I've never thought this far ahead. I'm hopeful that collecting your thoughts and running this situation by others here will result in beneficial solutions and I wish you the very best.

@Ice Cream Sand Witch At the last meeting, we looked at this issue. Ultimately, it was decided to maintain the forum as it is now for several reasons. All threads in a forum must either be in question format or normal format, so it would have to be one or the other, I'm afraid. In order to highlight excellent upvoted answers, the question format for threads is preferable. This also makes it easier for users googling for results pertaining to Reborn not covered in the Reborn Wiki. However, these are the justifications we had in mind in making this decision. If the format is especially troubling despite this all, we can change this to suit the users' needs. All that we'd need to change it to the normal feedback is support for changing to the default thread format. @Felix- Unfortunately, the following/notification system (the one responsible for giving you notifications) does not blend with the Recent Topics feed. Effectively, that means the Recent Topics feed cannot be feasibly changed. A milestone-themed sub-forum is something of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it allows us to conglomerate all birthday, AMA, and milestone threads and keep General Discussion much more general. On the other, we're worried about it seeing little use in the downtime between the AMA waves and little use due to the content not being geared towards readers, but rather other users. If there is enough interest generated (maybe through a petition?), then this idea can get implemented. I suppose that is true of any change in Reborn; if users band together and demand a reasonable change, then it may very well occur.

@Maelstrom or @Jericho or @Godot Just needs a quick crop and it's set. Edit: Image doesn't load, here's the direct link: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Xdzw3

Happy birthday o7

It's not unfounded. The internet is just the most accessible and widely-used outlet for communication with 21st century introverts. Realized I hadn't posted mine, so I'm an ISTJ-A. I can't speak on others' behalves, but introversion is not a direct implication of discomfort around people for me, I just dislike empty discussion and there seems to be an overbearing amount of that I've seen among my peers.

Then the world keeps on spinning. Depends if you're sober or drunk more of the time. /warn unnecessary posting, 10 WPs, banned for life, banished from the internet, bye now

Hi all, it's time to create an updated MBTI thread. Here's a link to a relatively precise MBTI online test, where you may determine your personality type and read up on the theory behind it all. After you have determined your type according to this test, leave a vote. Poll results are public, so anyone may view who has what personality type. Have fun, amigos.

I hypothesize Ama planned this name years in advance for this moment to camouflage in perfectly with the AMAs. Perhaps this is the inner bird of prey, blending into its environment. Mad props to you, intentional or otherwise, I love the images.

I see two important words in that thread title that prompt this. Anyway, welcome! Enjoy your time here!

Tenny mucho mucho deniro in su trucky-trailer?

are you ever gonna answer these If you could own any pet, what would it be?

There's neat quality of life improvements for auth roles, but they weren't mentioned.

I cannot wait to whet my wet moat experience.

That or be extraordinarily lucky.

By normal, do you mean milk?

Any favorite genre of music?

I believe the eighth pip should appear at 5,000 posts. I don't know if there is a ninth pip, it's definitely up there, maybe at 20,000 or 50,000. So yes, it would take quite some time before any user hits nine pips.

When did those get there...

Nine times out of ten, I get my avatars from https://atokniiro.tumblr.com/ The other one time out of ten, it's probably other interests of mine, which vary from various sources.

Those circles under member titles are apparently called pips. There is a new pip for each new milestone post. I don't know exactly what they are, but I believe some milestones are 10, 50, 100, 250, 1000, and 5000. The most pips and posts I've seen on a user (previously Eternal Edge, now Ame) is eight.

I believe that the IPS Board formatting we use for the forums is what manages the use of the Search Bar in that manner. Unfortunately, without someone who knows very well what they're doing reprogramming it, it may be impossible at this time to change the default search settings. In the meantime, the best option is to change the search option from "All Content" to "Members" when searching for users: Alternatively, Bazaro's solution works, too. Searching without any text will bring up an advanced search, where you may switch to a Member Search tab and proceed from there. I will add this to the Advanced Suggestions spoiler in the OP. I think I know what you're referring to and I share that sentiment with the frustration. Seemingly, the only way to remove the red notification counter from your notifications tab is by viewing all recent notifications, regardless of if you close the pop-up notification at the bottom of the screen when a new notification occurs. I believe this cannot fixed as of now, though I will add it to Advanced Suggestions in the OP. This is something that bothers me in the Site Inquiries sub-forum too, though since most of the threads here concern questions, I suppose it's more applicable. I will talk with Ame to determine if the ability to create normal threads vs. question threads is possible, though I imagine if it were, we would already have that power. If this ability to change thread types is not possible, then I think it would be worthwhile opening discussion with frequent On The Hunt users to hear the average opinion of users. Should we prefer normal threads to question threads, then that can be changed.

...Wendelism is a thing? Huh. Sounds like the interview with Wendel was an adventure, excellent read! I again nominate Dobby- one day, it must happen ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

This dirt on Godot will come in handy for future blackmailing purposes. Maroon 5 will be your downfall. As curious as I am to see Tempest interview Tempest, I must still list who I'd like to see interviewed: Felix.
