Hello Webmistress...

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..?

all poetry.com is horrible. I was there before I came here 13 years ago and it was recommended to go there again. I’m not going there. That place sucks there is no place like this anywhere in the world point blank. welcome to dup sorry you had to get the bad news so soon.

Chère Webmistress,
Hope this finds you well.

Thank you for all the work and effort you’ve done to keep this forum afloat.
I feel privileged to have been part of this forum, however small it has been.

I loved it to do cooperations with DUP’ers and get them anything between 4.000 and 10.000 listens over the past couple of years. Because it’s fun doing it and they deserve it that their writes are read and are listened to.

I wish you and yours lots of time to invest in other things that are important to you.

Kind regards, and a warm hug in case you’d like one!
Gus

I'd be good paying a bit more ( than the $5 currently) if it would save the site.  I doubt enough overall could be sustained to keep the site running though.  Too bad.

I am sad that the Deep Underground is closing its doors. I'm even more sad that Dug the Deep Underground Worm will have to roam the dark reaches of the internet without his home.

If anyone is looking for a new poetry home/forum, I'm a member at https://poetrycircle.com/forum/ and always enjoy when I poke my head in there from time to time. Check it out if you're curious.

I checked it out along with a few other sites. It's decent. Some sites have "harm" to them.
It seems okay enough .

All things change.

The DU was a time for me, and now the DU was a time for the founder.

I’ll make a plan to get one or two poems off, say adieu to one or two people, and mosey.

Leave it to the fire…

I agree, Daisy. Poetry Circle is worth a look, for anyone interested.

Maybe Elon could buy it, mysteriouslady, lol? I know that would probably likely speed up the exodus. You just know it! 😆 😉
