Here are some answers to some common questions:

Q. I signed up what do I do next?
A.  You have to verify your email to leave messages. We do this to deter spammers in order to improve your ForumLada experience. After you fill out the join us form, we will send you an email with a link that you need to click on to complete your registration process. Typically it takes a minute or two for you to receive the verification email, but depending on certain factors it can take up to 30 minutes to receive your email. If you have any issues please contact us.

Q. I can already send messages to a bunch of people. How you are different from Facebook, MySpace, Tweeter, YouTube etc.?
A.  Social Networking is great, but it is "social only". At forumlada.com you can send your message/post to your current classmates, your professor, your parents, your senator, Brad Pitt, or even the president.  You can message anyone, say anything. We are not just a social call, we are a platform created to help you get your message/ideas accross to not just your "friends", but to the entire world. We are the ultimate sounding board and really cannot be compared with social networks.
