Scott--
I'd be against for several reasons:
1. This board serves a real public function as a notice board and discussion area for writers of metrical verse. I read items on the Sphere with profit before ever workshopping here.
2. Poems are not permanently archived, and the Sphere does not participate in that stupid IBPC which muddies the waters as to what a workshop's function is.
3. Closed boards not accessible to the public just have a different dynamic. They get less new blood in them. And if you can't see what's being posted and who's posting and what the criticism is like from the outside, you really can't know if a board's for you, unless you're already in the know somehow.
