Just to clarify - the forum is still running here but the new forum will allow for everyone to recongregate under a new name with new administration.
This forum did close for a while after a particular incident in which a forum member sent a number of personally abusive emails to the administrator. It did not close because of the nature of the posts as these were moderated in accordance with the terms of the proboards service.
Whilst this forum was closed a new forum was set up by Gerard at nipoets - and we would be happy to recommend that people use that forum- this forum will remain open for those who wish to use it respectfully but we would recommend that you check nipoets as well in order to ensure that you don't miss anything!
I hope this clarifies the situation. I am also hoping that a new website might be undertaken (or transferred to a new home and new name) in association with the other forum - as I have suggested to the webmaster and to Gerard.
all the best
Chelley

hi i was under the impression that the site had been closed down and moved to nierlandpoetry.proboards57.com hence the reason i stopped posting. I have started to use the site again as i may have been wrong in assuming that Nirelandpoetry were the new group of belfastpoets.
