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.
