(ETA: You've posted all your questions and stuff in the OOC forums! Just checking to make sure you intended to do that...)
Firstly: This is not a general-purpose RP forum. This is a forum focused around the Sburb Glitch FAQ's associated RP (generally referred to as Replay Value), which has large and significant deviations from canon, most prominently the presence of "replaying".
Secondly: The use of a blatant self-insert here as your only character is not common. Some people make it work (narroweyes @ SC), but generally it's to be avoided.
Thirdly: Sburb RP can be run through any medium! Pesterchum, Tumblr, one of the dedicated sites set up for the purpose like MSPARP, a randomchat site like Trollmegle or Zingled, Livejournal/Dreamwidth, Etherpad clones (piratepad, sync.in, titanpad, etc.), Google Docs, IRC, Skype, Pastebin, you name it there's probably at least a bit of RP going on there. We usually go for IRC with a side of sync.in and Pastebin for daily life in this AU's RP, and the forums for longer-term storylines and other worldbuilding interactions.
Fourthly: You will want to keep track of your character(s) and what they do, which we usually use sync.in or Google Docs' spreadsheet function for.
Finally: DO NOT WORRY ABOUT DOING IT WRONG, THERE IS NO /WRONG/ (THERE IS MERELY NOT LETTING EVERYONE HAVE ENOUGH FUN). If you keep your character in line with everyone else's, don't steal the spotlight too much, and make sure that all the players are OK with what's going on (this goes double for things like violence and relationships) before it happens, then everything will be fine.
P.S. There's a link to the IRC in the sidebar, feel free to pop in and say hi!
