Would you consider doing
a pledge drive before closing..?

We could all pledge a certain
amount per month...

I pledge 100$ per month...

Really we can't put a price
on our creative sanctuary...

How much is Netflix..?



I’d gladly pay more per month if it meant we still have a home.

We don’t mean to pressure you WebMiss (even though we are) since this was obviously a difficult decision for you. I can’t imagine how you feel.

Is there anyone among us who could take over, help fund the site, anything??? If I could I would… in a heartbeat. Is there anyone out there in the universe? Anyone who can see our plight? This dysfunctional but loving family needs to keep our home. Many of us only have this family, this home, without it we will be lost.

We’re an eclectic bunch, a band of misfits, a package deal. Hundreds of conjoined twins (don’t ask me what the name for that would be, it’s too early). We don’t want to be separated and nothing out there looks like a good fit.

We need an Underground Miracle.

Elon Musk. Huh. I don’t even like the guy, don’t like uttering his name (I like his cash flow though). Anyone know him??????

Im gonna miss this place, it has been here for me for so long, though I must admit..I haven't been very active the last few years. I'm hopeful it might come back some day though <3

Hi webmiss you can have some money cash, postal order, a year up front
but I'm not keen on PayPal or anything similar.
A year up front cash through your letter box, money order, postal order.

This news is bittersweet. I am sad that the site is closing, but glad it is doing it on its own terms and same as it ever was; an eclectic oasis amongst the changing chaos of the world.
I am honoured to have called this place my internet home for my heart, for many, many years.
If the answer to prolonging the site is money, then I'm sure many of us would rally round to raid our pockets and piggybanks.
Though if this is the end, then let us go strangely into the night!

So long and thanks for all the words.

You probably have NO IDEA how much i'm gonna miss Your odd type of wit and wisdom.  Take care, Brother, in wherever our universe leads.  It's been an honor to KNOW You, even in a miniscule iota.  <3

All good things come to an end. Couldn't get any more poetic.

I'm really sad to see this place go. I've been here since as far back as my journey of writing began and I've always found solace in wading through the vast collection of expressions and vents my eyes could have gazed upon.
The secret escape is no more.
Thank you for the memories and emotions all these years.

Is there any way to download poems? I have too many to save by then. This is horrible. Is there any way to save them other than trying to copy and paste hundreds of poems??? Please help!

I'm so devastated right now. I can't think straight. I have made so many friends here and have no other way to communicate with many beyond  DUP.
I want to save my poems. How can i save them?
Can you send a mass email to members who have not signed in? They may not find out until it's too late. They may come back if they know.
Sorry, I'm in total pannick mode.
Help!
