If you were to read 2 poems per day from this website in posts or threads, how long would it take to read them all assuming 1 new poem is posted daily? 

I'm guessing 50 years

# of threads in each poetry forum (not counting practice, spotlight, arse, etc):

Milo: 148
Novice: 1,695
Mild: 1,945
Serious: 1,879
Miscellaneous: 1,306
Fun: 1,278
Short: 716
Audio: 61
Sonnets for Dale: 24

Total = 9,052

Total Divided by 2 poems read per day = the # of days it would take to read existing poems

9,052 / 2 = 4,526 days to read existing poems

In this time, an extra 4,526 poems would be made. 

These poems would be reduced at a rate of: 2 poems read per day - 1 poems posted per day = 1 poem per day. 

Therefore, it would take an extra 4,526 days to read the poems that have yet to be posted as of today.

# of days to read existing poems + # of days to read not yet posted poems = total time it would take to read all poems

4,526 days + 4,526 days = 9,052 days

9,052 days divided by 365 days = # of years

9,052 days / 365 days = 24.8 years

Therefore, it would take 24.8 years to read all the poems (or threads) on the site.

I may have made a mistake, though.

EDIT: I left out members only poetry, selected poets, and selected poetry as well - you could add those if you wanted.
