Very nice set of tools to kick start a project. This will eventually be another nice tool the plug into apps that require forum functionality.

I also tend to be more impulsive, so staying focused on the thing I should be doing, as opposed to what I want to do, is definitely an issue.
That being said, the time I save by not eating breakfast is also nice :)
I'm trying to remove my account too..
We're applying anyway so it doesn't matter, I'm just wondering if we can say we are responding to RFS #9 :)
Are you looking for money?
My current investors get me out in front of everyone they can, I suspect it's because they think I need practice.
Get their contact, pitch to them, and see what they think. These early discussions are a good sounding board, and will also get someone else thinking about your idea, not matter how briefly.
