Official Acronym for Aromantic Organization (Final Round)

A few of us have decided to put together a website similar to AVEN for aromantic advocacy and resources. We wanted to pick an acronym that is different from AVEN but is also short, official-sounding, and easily searchable. We want to make sure that the acronym is unique (different enough from an already existing brand or word). We have had three rounds of name choices and comments, and this final voting round is to narrow down the most popular option. We will use this final round to inform our final acronym decision.

The final round is here, everyone.

We’ve narrowed down the top five community-approved acronyms from the 348 responses from our previous rounds.

VOTE HERE for your final say and spread this to all your aro friends if you can!

This pool is for purchasing the aromanticism.org domain + hosting + professional email for one year.

It’s happening! Don’t feel pressured to donate but anything you can contribute would be incredibly helpful. The high price is because we don’t intend to use shared hosting (we want to make sure our site won’t be targeted by anti-aro or anti-queer people).

We’re very excited.

If you have any general questions, you can contact any of our team members.

If you have questions specific to this Paypal pool or about payment options/fund security/etc., contact me. 

Our core team members for this website include: - Tost (from @arospecinitiative) - Magni (@aromagni, who you may also know as a casual Mod on @aromantic-official) - Ramen (on Arocalypse forums and member of various aro communities online) - Sea (@aroacepagans) - Scoop (on Arocalypse forums and member of various aro communities online) - Me! We also have a few consultants and intend to slowly grow our team after the website goes live.

Website Info

Our website intends to be an official space for aros who can be contacted by media outlets to talk about everything related to our community. Essentially, a resource for all things aro. We will be including:

- intro to aromanticism - FAQ - term glossary - pamphlets/resources - news and aro-related events - media contact (for interviews, guidance, etc.) - volunteer contact (for those who want to volunteer with us) We're also thinking of adding the following once the site is live:

- ongoing surveys/research information - tracking aro-related fiction/art/media

Acronym for Aromantic Organization (Semi-Final Round)

A few of us have decided to put together a website similar to AVEN for aromantic advocacy and resources. We need an organization name.

We are in our semi-final voting round!

This survey will be open for one week (until April 29th, 12:00am EST). After that, we’ll put our top 3-4 terms in a final survey.

Spread this if you can, and thank you to everyone who has participated so far. Your responses have been extremely helpful. :)

Edit: The survey should be properly open now! Sorry for the first few hours when it didn’t work properly; it has since been fixed.

Acronym for Aro-spec Community Website

In light of recent conversations within the aro community, a few of us have decided to put together an official organization and website for aromantic community advocacy.

We were inspired by AVEN (the ace-specific organization) but we wanted an aro-specific space for resources, events, and everything aro.

We want to come up with an acronym that we can use as a brand and domain name for the website and we want your input on one we have created. We’ve made a poll that you can participate in here. (Link has been removed as per the update.)

If you have trouble participating in the poll, I have also included a Google Forms link in the poll post. 

Thank you all! Please spread this if you can.

Even if ARENA didn’t make it until the end I’m happy I suggested something that made it to the semis. Good luck on the website, mate.

Thank you for your suggestion! :)

We had a lot of good suggestions over the course of our polls. I’m happy we’ve been met with enthusiasm and support and am excited for the site.

I’m so freaking excited for the finals.

Anon, you and I both!

So far, AURA, AroAN, and ASCAN are in the lead for 1st choice, but it’s pretty close for 2nd and 3rd choices so anything could happen.I’ve also seen some hilariously blunt comments. Don’t apologize if you don’t like some of the acronyms - that’s what we’re asking you all for. :) I also get a good laugh thinking about the person who wrote such comments. I would likely be that person too.

[aro-neir-o]

I know I’m asking this a bit too soon, but when do you think the website will actually be up? I’m not expecting it to be sooner rather than later, but I’m just curious. Thanks in advance.

We’re not sure yet. No worries about asking, I love the excitement. :)

We’re still figuring out domain/hosting logistics and coordinating a core team, but we will let you know along the way what we’re up to. We want to make sure we have the input of the whole community (as much as possible) throughout the process.

Stay tuned!
