Getting rid of categories all together.....this is flawed chances are I would have to read through a ton of crappy basement budgie basher stuff before finding the good stuff? at least the way it is now when I want to read a story poem or an observational type I can use the categories to find them? I would love to add a comedy category though that would be fun :-D

When you do time ban every fucker on the site or you bring all of DU crashing down, whichever comes first, it's inevitable, I'm sure the WebMiss even pointed to a red button that you should never press under any circumstances, could you please put some elevator music on the "OOPS! DEEP UNDERGROUND HAS GONE DOWN" notice page, something like the theme to Austin Powers I think would be appropriate... I don't know why, it's just the elevator music that pops into my head whenever DU goes down... just leave us a sign, so we know it was you.

Can we just be able to submit a poem without It being compulsory to choose a category?
A lot of time I'm confused as fuck about what category the poem should be in, I just want to post it. To have it out before I decide to just delete it. Just get rid of the miscelaneous category and do that?
That way people looking for something in particular can still find it, and confused cunts like me can enjoy our own ignorance.
Excuse the potential lack of lucidity, I'm tired.

Less lip and more gold, little Irishman!
Categories alone are too limiting... I say category and one expletive as the title.
Congratulations, we just invented a new art form.

i think a tagging system is more beneficial than categories. poems can have many elements and forcing it into one category is almost detrimental. At this point in DUPs life I doubt we will see any massive change to the overall set up though.

Stop trying to fix DU when it ain't fricken broken. If you can't fricken choose a catergory stick the bitch in Miscellaneous, that's what it's there for...



Sorry, the WebMiss dictated that ^^^^ message to me with her all seeing eye. No offence bat blouse, but I think her point is valid.

Poetryman said:I'm so sick of erotic poems getting all the reads that I think i'm going to mark all of my poems as erotic and if I get banned from the site for it, so be it! Just get rid of the categories so poets can read poetry and realize that poetry wasn't invented as masturbation stimulation... A poem tagging system is planned that will allow "themes" to emerge and provide a more free flowing way to categorise and search for poems. This is under development and won't replace categories (at least not for a long while) as it will take time to "tag" all existing poems.

However, it's just as likely that the erotic themes will prove popular. I'm not going to try and engineer what people like to read.


case28 said:I don't think the WebMistress is going to buy that idea, do you have any idea how much money the masterbation stimulation pulls in advertising? Those hits are the bread and butter for running this joint.As ever, making me giggle, with the idea that advertising covers even a fraction of what DU costs to run

lepperochan said:apart from finaly meeting the webmiss, who, it turns out is among us nearly every day under a profile that we all know and joke around withOoh this is intriguing and news to me. I'm not sure I like the idea of someone going round pretending to be me though

lepperochan said:totally unrelated,  the add to me left is selling Bedazal wearables ..anyone know what that might be ...I’d google it, but I try not to use google anymore  since the time I went looking for a spit roaster for my garden. ...I am now getting adds and invites for some very questionable activities Please note that adverts on this site don't use any tracking or personal info about anyone. The same adverts will be shown to everyone in a particular region (US, Canada, Europe, elsewhere). All adverts are approved by me so if you spot anything odd which I have missed please let me know so I can have it removed. I was very careful about which advertising ended up here; there are a lot of dodgy companies out there. I would rather earn 50 cents a day showing these than be infecting DU members computers with spyware or trying to sell them snake oil.
