We are beginning to experiment with a Google program to include surveys on Neopoet -- we welcome your feedback in the forums: https://www.neopoet.com/forum/15316

Would it be helpful to have a feature that sends an e-mail notification when one of your poems receives a critique?

I have within the past few days gotten back on line due to a computer crash and find that I need to make a couple of announcements.
1. Due to personal problems beyond his or our control Jess (weirdelf ) has had to step down as director of workshops. His contributions in this capacity will be sorely missed and his past work as such is greatly appreciated.

Many of our members may have heard in the media about a flaw in a widely used piece of software called OpenSSL. We do not use SSL (what you'd see as "https" or the secure padlock sign) on Neopoet for members.

On April 8, shortly after the initial announcement, we examined whether we were affected. Based on this analysis, and from additional information we learned over recent days, we have no reason to believe any member information was compromised.

Update 4/6/14 at 7 pm: We are happy to report that www.neopoet.com is now being hosted out of our main server in Brooklyn, NY. The site should be a lot more responsive.
