I first started posting back on Afronet
there was $$Rich$$, Baller, myself and a few others
who are no longer here. Destee was an administrator at the time for Afronet
and the forum was jumping. Then things changed. Destee resigned from Afronet
and the poets started having problems with haters on the forum and when complaints were
made to the admiinistration over at Afronet, nothing was done. Many of us were resigned to our fate of either grinning and baring the haters or leaving altogether. Many of us chose the latter, but during that time, Destee had created a new home one we affectionately called Destee's Playground...She sent out the call to those who wanted to be a part and a mass exodus began and we entered into this promised land of Poetry. Time back then was simple,we started out with just a few forum topics and a few poets, but the flow was evident in this place and we started growing by Xtreme numbers...Now this is a place that is overflowing with skillz and talents beyond poetry and this is just the beginning....the best is yet to come...
