I think S+L is fine as it is. We're pretty busy, we have our regular decent lyricists who always offer good advice and crits and we're a happy little community. Even if we did spilt the forum (which isn't gonna happen) there would be even more problems that we have now.
Anychow... I have a problem. I have an extremely hard time deciphering other people's poems. I mean I really struggle with getting the basic concept of what they're writing about. It gets to the point where I can't offer a decent crit. Also along the same lines... sometimes when attempting to crit a better writer than myself, I find their writing so complex and different that I don't think I can offer any advice because I can't compare it to anything. Does anyone else get this or am I just odd?
