Last week I mentioned setting up a blackpool gay community message board.  Well I did it, sent a few emails asking to various members of gaydar and myspace to look at it and its really kicked off. At the moment the URL is http://blackpoolgc.proboards38.com/ but I am hoping that in the next day or 2 I can get that changed to www.blackpoolgc.co.uk.  So far I have had loads of positive feedback about the site and more people are joining thanks to word of mouth.  Once I get the url changed I can really get to work in promoting it.  I guess the fact that it has had a good start goes to show there was a real need for something like this.  I must admit I am putting a fair bit of my own time into managing the site but as it picks up I hope to get more administrators involved.  Apart from taking the pressure off me, this will also encoursge the community to take ownership of the project.  (god that sounded, like dead grown up and stuff). I am really proud of whats happened so far with the site and from a personal level its helped me find my feet down here.
