My single friend just asked me to post about this. She has started a website for frum teens to connect, express themselves, and ask questions. It's run under the guidance of Rabbi Zev Leff (he is an Israel rabbi, so if you never heard of him...that's why) and some other big rabanim.
She has a forum up for teens, and has frum, chareidi/yeshivish rabbi's, therapists, and rebetzins answering stuff (besides for the teens themselves that can help each other). They have a split forum for boys and girls, fully moderated, no pm's, no chat rooms, no identifying information.
If you have teens, let them know about it. She's working really hard. It's all volunteer, and it's her like dream to do it. The website is called frumhangout.com.

That works.
Text links on the site, like " click here" on the home page, don't work.

She does have a forum as I mentioned before. There is a bug with links on pages on the website that should get fixed within the next week. (it's all volunteer so it takes some time) but you can Google the web urls yourself.
Go send some teens there! They have a lot of people waiting for teens to show up! You need to make an account to see the girls section.... It's blocked from public vewing.

oh, that's so interesting: a friend of mine who I got to know from a different group we both are members off, also emailed the group last week that she started a website for teens named frumhangout.com.
Rabbi Zev Leff shl'ita is a renowned Rav amongst the English speaking crowd in Israel. He is
English speaking and is the Rav of Modiin Elite.
The website should be with hatzlocha, be'H and help out many teens.

Nope, I'm married for a few months now Baruch Hashem!! I have been helping her with some technical stuff, and said id spread the word here.
I used to just look around a lot here.... Also a lot of the things I wrote here are anonymous. I'm more of the under the radar type. So I have been active. You just can't see. Anyways I had been meaning to open an account, my friend kept nudging me to do it for her own agenda. So I finally did.....

Apparently the site isn't new, it's at least 2 years old.
I clicked on the Volunteer tab and saw that all they wanted was an email address and a telephone number and an area of interest. Are they doing any further screening of volunteers beyond that simple form?

Welcome to imamother. You cant post about a website for your friend. Thats called an unpaid ad, and its not allowed.
Also, out lf your 18 total posts, 11 of them have been under your user name, which means that youve only posted 7 times anonymously. And we also can see that you just joined yesterday.
I hope you enjoy this site! But its best not to try to cover up when its clear what your real intentions were. Members on here start to trust their imamother friends, and that starts right from the beginning.

Okay, I looked.
The forum area seems to be populated almost exclusively by posts form a single user (Moishy).
The forum is called "Guys hangout." I assume there is a parallel "Girls' hangout," but who is the girls' forum private and the guys' forum public?
Anyhow, the site looks like it doesn't get much traffic.

It also has posts from 2015, so it wasn't started just now.
This whole thing seems fishy

Wasn't trying to advertise. It's a chesed project. I'm not going to defend myself, I already said who I am.
She tried starting it a few years ago but never got rabinical backing. She only got backing a few weeks ago and revamped the site a bit.
