Has there ever been a suggestion that there could be a random button we could click that would pop up a poem from any forum and give us the chance to read it as if it were new. We could exclude the private forums of course! I think that would be an extraordinarily way cool feature that maybe wouldn't take up too much space.

That's truly a great idea, I have seen one at a dutch poetry forum and its always a suprise which poem shows up than.... even poems from years ago shows up.

Hey Walt, How you doing? Seems you have a grand idea here, I really like it. I think a lot of people would use it to. Thanks for that genius brain of yours.

I like the idea too.

The only reservation is a technical one, and htat is how do you distinguish a poem in the forum from the critique.  or a finished poen from those that are only in development.

Maybe a "submit" tick box on the message area beneath "disable smileys" saying "include on random poetry database" would work.
