    Totally counts my man. In the early-mid '00s my wife and I were stationed in Germany and she knew no one so I hatched a plan. I registered a domain, set up a basic BBS, and we had business cards printed out with her name, email, and the address. Anytime she ran into another mom at the commissary, px, or just around base she would pass them out and organize a playgroup. From what I’ve heard it is still around, it just moved to Facebook.

    She really got out of her shell and she organized a ton of playgroups (reserving community centers or organizing backups in case of bad weather). It was called K-Town Moms (the K was for Kaiserslautern). Good times and fond memories.
