A forum in disrepair

The Poet's Corner was approved by staff and added today.

What I did at my forums a couple months ago was start from the back (the very last topic we had), and then look at when the last time the person posted was. If they hadn't posted in the last 7 months or so, I deleted their thread. That gets rid of everything that is unfinished for the most part. If you come across finished fics, maybe you should think about Archiving them . . . that would be nice.

This is of course, after all the poetry was moved into the other forum. I am happy that something is finally being done, thanks admins. I'm sure you won't regret this in the future.

Uhm, html doesn't seem to work in the Poetry Corner...

Fixed.

I was actually wondering where that thread had gone, since I never check the Writer's Corner. If people actually started discussing literature there, I might have to make it one of my frequent stops. Unfortunately, I doubt that a particularly large percentage of EoFF would be willing to use their posting time in such a way. It might get more people in there, and then undoubtedly more people would eventually view the writings that are posted in there.

OOC:	But sadly, I've got nothing more to contribute about Vonnegut, except to say that Kilgore Trout is by far the best name I've ever seen.

EDIT: But, ya know, The Trout already brought this up. I guess I'm being redundant. It's a good plan, though. It should be promoted, somehow.

I've always been frustrated, actually, at how little literature discussion happens in the Writer's Corner. Probably most people don't know that the Writer's Corner can be used to discuss literature, and if they knew, they'd come, so it's something of a catch-22. (Ha! ... ... actually, Catch-22 is on my list of books to read still). I dunno... the forum description of the Writer's Corner even says, "This is also a place for the discussion of literature itself," which makes me kinda wonder how many people really read those things. ;)

At any rate, I'd encourage people to make threads about any authors or literary works that they feel really enthusiastic about. It might help stir up some debate in the Writer's Corner, and really, the fora that have the liveliest debates also seem to be the most active ones. So y'no.

Somebody really has it in for trouts, I'd say. Interestingly, the word was only censored again after my name changed to reflect a Vonnegut character whose last name coincidentally happened to be "Trout." Well, :skull::skull::skull::skull::skull: this! *gets shot by a sniper*

Peace
