I love your "Bring out your freaks. Bring out your dead," Andrew...but at the same time I have strong misgivings about encouraging people to post something every week, no matter how awful it is.

Good, or at least promising, poems attract and retain the sort of people who care deeply about quality. Mediocrity tends to drive those people away.

Also, I think John is right that the activity in Drills and Amusements seems to be bubbling right along, and I think that the password protections for two subforums there has a lot to do with that. I know that this has been discussed to death, but changing The Deep End to a password-protected forum like the Deep Drills on D&A would encourage more activity from shy folk...and I don't think making TDE private would detract at all from the Met Board, because some people do want a wider audience.
