talkBCN.com was an unmitigated disaster

A few months ago I set up a new website, in a forum format, which I hoped would act as a sort of chat centre for English speaking expats in Barcelona. Within days, I could see that it was a failure... but I left it online until today. The fact that it didn't take off isn't that surprising, considering various factors:

1. I couldn't put much time into it because home time shouldn't be work time (my real job is on a website)

2. There were technical problems with the site which I never satisfactorily solved

3. I failed to promote talkBCN in any real way. Other people did and I'm very grateful to them.

Sorry to those who helped me out. talkBCN may well be back in the future, but I accept that it was something that I wasn't willing to put enough effort into.

As my boss said the other day, "Shit happens".
