Latest Project

I was originally going to wait until we had some more members to post about this, but then I remembered that you can’t have members without publicity, so it’s a bit like the chicken and the egg in that respect.
It’s something I’ve had in mind for a while now, but I’ve only got around to creating it now.
It’s a Youth Forum.
A forum for people (roughly) between the ages of 10 and 20, to come onto and they can swap opinions on things like films or books. They can interact with other people (roughly) the same age and just generally socialize.
Because of our world today, we obviously have to be careful of adults masquerading as kids. I’m thinking of ways of combatting this. I suppose just don’t allow the exchanging of personal information at all. A mantra of ‘this is a place for you to exchange opinions, not personal information’ should be adopted, and then constant supervision after that to make sure it’s enforced.
Anyway, enough explaining. I have the forum hosted here, at http://youthforum.fairtopic.com/forum.htm. I hosted it on one of the free forum providers purely because I don’t want to put money into it just yet in case it doesn’t get off the ground. If, after say, a month, it looks like it has potential, I’ll register something like YouthForumEire.com and redirect it over, possibly even hosting it myself.
I also have a wider plan for it, but that again depends on whether or not it gets off the ground. Anyway, that won’t happen until July either.
So, as a favour to me, those who are youthful in age, please head over to the forum and register, and start discussing stuff, those who aren’t youthful, passing the word would gain my thanks :) I created a retweet link for it here, if you’re so inclined.
EDIT 17:25 Well, it took off way better than I could hve imagined, and I took Barry up on his very kind offer of setting me up with a domain. We’re now live over at YouthDiscussion.com, thanks Barry!
Edited all the links in this post, too
