Michael, you've explained why they can't stay there yourself:

The original Art Board was established, I assume, to explore areas where poetry and art intersect. For whatever reason, poets stuck to Poetry and the Art Forums never took off. It's essentially become a Photography Board/Chat Room, and is increasingly given to pictures of pets, cars, family members, and each other. There are still good photographs posted, and discussions of technique and PhotoShop, but more and more of the Board seems to be going in the direction of a Snapshot Exchange, and where and how all that relates to poetry - or even art - puzzles me.

My goal is to make Art as powerful and prestigious a section of Eratosphere as the poetry. Towards that end, I am going to use the communal forums as much as possible. I am waiting for the time we can have a presence in Accomplished Members!
You don't have to worry about anyone posting anything in Funexcise anyway. Only mods can start threads here.
