Nope, you're not missing anything about the forums--the only ones I'd call active are the Transyadas and AVEN, these days, although Apositive had its own distinct (if, ah, seriously not my cup of tea) culture.
I actually had ace cultures in various media in mind--there's Livejournal/Dreamwidth asexual communities, like here and the asexuality comm and asexual_fandom (which are THEMSELVES two comms I'd say have their own very different cultures). There's Wordpress/Blogger blogs, which are different from LJ/DW blogs in tone and focus, in my experience. There's Tumblr when it's not being overrun by the shitstorms, as you mentioned, which is different from all the rest of them. I can't think of any other nuclei of asexual community off the top of my head, but that doesn't mean there are any.
When I was coming to asexuality, everyone essentially had to go through AVEN. That's just not the case any more, and seeing that makes me really happy--it's proof to me that asexual communities and visibility efforts in general are really beginning to take off.
