Following a change in ownership in July of 2019 from the original webmaster Osnap to fellow staff member Enin, Acebook has adopted the public goal of "connecting the asexual world, one community at a time" and committed itself as an organization towards modernizing and revitalizing its own community as well as the asexual community as a whole.
