Linking to the Archives from other forums

May I please have some feedback from the membership, or a statement of policy from the moderators (if there is one), with regard to linking to the Archives from other forums (and in particular, setting http://www.eunuch.org/vbulletin as a home-page in ones profile).

I belong to a couple of other forums dedicated to the discussion of Asperger syndrome and other mild to moderate neurological disorders, and a recurring theme among men on these threads is chronic frustration at being unable to attract romantic partners. I would like to present to these men the validity of choosing an asexual existence and dedicating their energies to other pursuits in life, the case for which is eloquently presented within the Archives (and is more common than the general public realise).

But on the other hand, I can appreciate that more long-standing members, and in particular Real Eunuchs, may not want casual gawkers reading the threads in this forum.

I will defer to the wishes of the group on this matter.

I can only speak for myself, but I can see no problem with links from relevant sites. An Aspergers site seems relevant. I can remember, though, a site on male pattern baldness that asked to link to us a couple of years ago: "eunuchs don't lose their hair...."

I had dinner tonight with David Jay, who founded the Asexual Visibility and Education Network (asexuality.org). We talked about some of the overlap between his site and the Eunuch Archive. There are a few joint members and a lot of joint issues that we're both working on. I expect the conversation to continue.
