Definitely support this, I have used this site aton to grab poems for poetry readings locally.
Also I have brought a lot of my older / newer poems from the forum to work on with local writers and friends.
I know I am not as active as I used to be but I value what this site did for me who is a continuously growing writer and appreciate the archive.
One thought before restarting / deleting work would be to give people who have once actively posted a deadline to get there work onto another medium.

In my town of Missoula, MT we lost a local independent paper over night without warning from a large news company. I played in alot of bands who were reviewed from the paper, and I used there archive for press kits, and to describe art I helped make without using my own words. When the whole archive was deleted I felt so much loss, almost like they deleted history and accomplishments.

Anyways, I think letting people know poems they worked hard on will be deleting off the server would be good. So they get the chance to save their ideas.

I just wanted to drop in real quick to say that I’m really sorry to hear about this. It was only through this site that I was able to rid a lot of the mistakes that beginners make in poetry. I would invert my syntax, force rhymes, use pretentious words and phrases (and admittedly still do at times) to sound like whatever a poet is “supposed” to sound like. I learned a lot from here, from you guys.

I’ve been really busy with school and haven’t had much time to be active on here. I will do my best in the coming weeks to help with bringing the site back to life.

I'm just a lurker, reader, appreciator.  But sure, put me on the list.  I just like people who strive to come up with something...anything succinctly beautiful in word.  It keeps me from giving up.

PS> That Ray Heinrich guy put up some deceptively accessible heart percolating stuff.  He had knack for complexity rendered palatably sweet.

Life happens. I'd be sad not to be able to participate when things ease up.

things have eased up, though not sure what you mean?

I meant life obligations.

Put me on the list, I'll work it out.
