How the IIWIARS anonymous forum is organized

Finding a place to talk about a personal conflict, a family drama or something that keeps bothering you can be hard when everyone knows who you are. IIWIARS works like a forum where nobody posts under their real name.

Topics

Discussions are grouped by category: family drama, couple stories, workplace drama, mother-in-law stories, friendship, neighbors and many more.

Threads

Each thread starts with a story, sometimes with a poll. Other people answer with their point of view, and anyone signed in can reply under each point of view.

Pseudonyms

You never choose or display a real name: your pseudonym is generated from the account you sign in with, and it stays the same on all your posts.

  • Pseudonymous posting
  • Topic-based discussions
  • Moderated

What to expect from an anonymous forum like IIWIARS

Anonymity makes it easier to talk about delicate situations, but it has limits that are worth knowing before you post.

Public by design

Stories and replies can be read by anyone, including people who are not signed in. Only your pseudonym is shown next to them.

Moderation

Stories are reviewed before they are published. Replies appear right away and are reviewed afterwards; content that breaks the rules can be removed.

Your part in staying anonymous

Leave out names, places, employers, dates and any detail that would let someone recognize you or the people in your story.

How to join IIWIARS and start venting in just 3 steps

Reading is open to everyone. Signing in is only needed to post a story, a point of view or a reply.

1

Login

Sign in with Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft or another listed account. IIWIARS does not save your name or email address: it keeps a pseudonym generated from your account identifier, and that pseudonym is what others see.

2

Share Your Story

Pick the category that fits and write what happened. Family conflicts, wedding dramas, work issues: anything on your mind, as long as it respects the rules.

3

Engage with the Community

Answer other stories with your point of view, reply to the people who answered yours, and vote in polls.

Questions and answers

Do I need an account to read the forum?

No. Stories and replies are public. You only need to sign in to post a story, a point of view or a reply, to vote in a poll or to save favorites.

Can other people see who I am?

They see your pseudonym, not your name or email address. The pseudonym is the same on all your posts, so someone reading several of them can tell they come from the same person.

How is the forum moderated?

Every story is reviewed before publication. Replies are published immediately and reviewed afterwards. In the IIWIARS mobile app you can also report a post or block a user; on the website, use the contact page.

Is it a replacement for therapy?

No. People share opinions and experiences; they are not professionals. If you are struggling, the help resources at the bottom of this page are a better first step.

Why anonymous forums like IIWIARS are needed

Many people don't feel comfortable discussing sensitive matters on social networks where everyone knows them. An anonymous forum lets you speak about your experiences, ask for advice or just vent without your name attached.

“Finally, a place to vent without being judged! I shared my family drama and felt so much better after hearing from others who've been through the same.”

“IIWIARS helped me get advice anonymously when I needed it most. It’s like an emotional release.”
