Is there a link to this? I cant seem to find it in a search.

A bunch of us have already joined.
I'd like to see you there too ....

this looks good on first glance

Tallens suggestion might be good also,

[-- link removed --]

Can we start a list of sites here where everyone can go to find each other and consider joining?

has anyone tried poeticious.com or hellopoetry.com?

My highlighting of idea of list of alternative sites - I agree
Also I didn't get which, if any one in particular, is a preferred alternative home for DUPers.

The one I referenced was starsrite.com. There was a forum about it but it seems to have been removed.... maybe it seemed too promotional?? I dunno. Anyway, there are a few dozen DUPers there at the moment. I haven't checked out the others you mentioned, but I think some others were suggested further back in this forum.

Thank you, I am just going to bookmark all of these different sites, I do see many members have joined some of them already.  We may have to face the fact that joining multiple sites may be the only way to continue following each other, unless some of them allow read only of members work.

Also does anyone know if we are allowed to mention DUP in future writes, such as writing a tribute or such, it would make a good collab idea. I hope the mistress can clarify some of these things going forward,  

and thank you for everything, Mistress

I will miss a lot of poets on here. It's sad to think many poems will be forgotten. Thank you for keeping this site up for so long. RIP Underground Poetry. To be buried under many beautiful poems is a good way to go. Goodbye everyone.

I joined Allpoetry.com after checking out a few different ones- it really does make you realize how good we had it hear! Deep, deep gratitude for all the love, sweat and likely tears poured into creating this space!!  If anyone joins that forum, feel free to find me there - I’ve started to migrate over some of the poems from here that I want to have out there somewhere :)…  https://allpoetry.com/Rachelleunderground
Sending much love to all those on here who have touched me deeply over the years!

This website was the place I ‘broke a 20-ish year writing silence—in the height of the Me, Too movement— when I just needed to get it out there for some sort of catharsis. Little did I know what this space, and my writings with in, would help unfold in this journey we call life. Infinite love and gratitude to you all! 💜🙏🏽💜

Alright...

I'm the creator of NetherWoodPoetry.

Firstly, I encourage you all to post
as many places as you can...

To touch as many as possible...

To trigger a literary renaissance,
an idea that is part of my driving
force, in creating a site...

I am a member starsrite
and intend to post there...

After an adventurous vetting
process...

I decided upon a course
of action, regarding my approach
to the creation of my
poetry site...

It will be a hybrid of DUP and
my current site NWP...

:)))

I am going to have the elements,
pertaining to the DUP interface,
that we have all come to know
and love:

1. Avatar tile on homepage
and other pages.

2.  The same basic sections

3.  Messaging capacity

4.  Studio capability (I am developing
a system where I can create even
more than 100 studios)...

5. I will have unique, private label
studios for...

All sorts of things.

(For example:

Here are some of my ideas
for private studios, which, I
believe, will generate a very
cool and unique literary vibe,
pushing the work across
thresholds, previously unknown...

1. Black Rope Erotica

2.  Horrorcore

3.  Thugz Mansion

4.  Narcocorridos

5.  Lords of Dogtown

6.  Clockwork Selves

7.  Punk Rock Clock

8.  Fan Fiction

9.  Beethoven Graffiti

Some of you have joined
and I thank you...

I will endeavor to make it great...

I will make another announcement
here, before site closure...

And post my progress in open
discussion, on my site, NetherWoodPoetry.

Again, I encourage you all to
join all the sites...

And I hope you will check
my site out and perhaps
join...

You are welcomed to join...

(I am very excited for the new
site...

It's a strange feeling...

Nadir meeting apex...)

Thanks for reminding me of this. I've had an account on here for a very long time but never posted anything.
It's hard to find places that allow for 2 character names and DUP will always be that home that welcomed all crazies like me.
