Eratosphere was founded two decades ago! It predates Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Wikipedia, the iPhone, etc. It is almost as old as Google and Amazon. It is ancient. I think it should always have a Met Board and a Non-Met board, because it’s the only place on the internet to focus on metrical poetry, but otherwise it should change with the times. And I don’t think there is much to change—or at least I don’t have any ideas, maybe others do, because it serves its purpose and Alex does a good job. But the Deep End is a relic of when this site had a different demographic, and it doesn’t need to be there. If many people want a forum that is not accessible via Google-bots then we should have one. We can call it the Deep Web End.
