'Wrong Planet' - Autism Community
I don't use the forum WrongPlanet anymore, but find it to be one of the best Asperger's forums out there at the present. It's not on par with a couple other Asperger's-related boards that I frequent, but the people there are a lot more caring and supportive than they are on some other boards I've been on.
I decided to type this blog-entry up after pondering all of the present Asperger's forums I know of and realizing that WrongPlanet, even though it has its flaws, is still a somewhat decent Asperger's forum to use. One thing I recommend is that you stay clear of the Adult Autism Issues & Random Discussion parts of the board since they are loaded with extremely trivial threads (I created some myself back when I used to frequent the site - pretty much everyone there does.)

'A Lonely Life' Forums
I want to let you people know of a great board that is somewhat similar to HikiCulture; the board is called A Lonely Life. I don't think that the people at ALonelyLife are quite as reclusive as the people on HikiCulture, but it's still a pretty similar board.

Updated 'HikiCulture' logo
I updated the HikiCulture banner. In addition to updating the HikiCulture banner, I updated the banners for my Posterous, Tumblr and Blogger blogs.
The typeface used was Myriad Pro; bold was the weight I used for HikiCulture, and bold condensed was the weight used for A Forum For Reclusive People (and Hikikomori) part of the banner.
Myriad Pro is an under-used typeface that is considered by many people (who are into typography) as being a great alternative to the extremely over-used typeface Helvetica. I myself find Myriad to be a great alternative to Helvetica as I find Helvetica to lack 'personality' ---- it's a very neutral font. Enjoy.

I did some 'cleaning up' of the HikiCulture forums
To all HC users:
I 'cleaned up' the boards by removing old threads that were no longer relevant, threads that I felt didn't belong on the forums (some of them were mine), merged threads into more relevant topics, removed slight grammatical errors, and deleted unnecessary HikiCulture-related links at the bottom of the main page. The only HikiCulture-related links I kept are the following: HikiCulture Blog (Posterous)HikiCulture FaceBook Group
HikiCulture Last.FM Group
PsychForums Asperger's Board
Wikipedia Hikikomori Page I'm glad to have spent the past while 'cleaning' the boards up; everything is now fine and dandy.

'Thirteen-Year-Old Runaway with Asperger's Spent 11 Days in Subways'
Someone on the HikiCulture FaceBook group shared a link to this New York Times article about a thirteen-year-old boy from Brooklyn, New York who spent a total of 11 days in a subway station. The boy happened to have Asperger's Syndrome (like myself), which can lead some people to become highly reclusive and anti-social.
I thought I'd share this article since it's not very often that Asperger's is mentioned in major newspapers such as the New York Times. PS. Thanks for the link Theo.The best social bookmarking sites

Psychology & Mental Health Forums - 'PsychForums'
In previous blog-entries of mine, I mentioned the forum PsychForums and their Asperger's board. This time, I decided to dedicate an entire blog-post to the site and say that it's a phenomenal forum to use if you have any type of psychological problem - check PsychForums out if you haven't yet.
PS. I'm not affiliated in any way with PsychForums; I just enjoy promoting things I deem worthy.
