Day 36–A forum for… um… me?

Ok, I have breached the wall of blogs and run at top speed into the wall of forums. I have no bloody clue what I am doing on the web (until this newly discovered world, I was convinced porn was the only thing of any real value!) and thought I would even better attempt to express my great and far-reaching ignorance by starting a forum, which I have now done. And amazingly I already have one member!! Yay! Granted its my wife, but still! YAY for me!!

I have a feeling I am Yaying alone here. 

Its a forum for those who are thinking about moving, who have moved, or are moved by movers to talk about their experiences. I think it’s a great idea but here’s my problem: no one in my life knows about this move my wife and I are going to do! The best starting place to get sign up for your forum are with your friends and family or through social outlets such as facebook. Well, how the hell am I supposed to do that when I don’t yet want my friends or family to know about it?!?! I am NOT going to waste my time as I have read so many other have done, by creating a whole bunch of fake usernames and start having fake conversations with themselves just to make it look like there is some exciting action on my forum! I look stupid enough when I argue with myself out loud, I might run the risk of looking even goofier doing it on a forum.

This in itself is an interesting topic I think as I’m sure there is a stage in everyone’s lives who make a decision to move abroad where no one in their lives really knows of their intended move. But I again ask, how does one get people to their forum when one cannot advertise to one’s friends or family? The answer might be very, very simple and that is I’m screwed. If so, so be it. Well, here’s one way, join my forum please! If there’s no one else there, talk to me! Or my wife. Or yourself like I sometimes do.
