A forum to join if this one closes

Well, it's official: No matter now nice I try to be, I offend people. I have found a new forum which could become our new home (if Kris decides to close PAT), but even though I was full of thank-you's and mea culpas, at least one person is now annoyed at me (I have apologized to him profusely). I like to say that I was born with my Repulser Beam turned on, and nothing I do shuts it off. This may be why some of you praise my poems with just a few words, and then say nothing else.
However, let me get to the forum.
It is, like all critique forums, dying, BUT two frequent posters there are keeping it alive (and others who drop in occasionally), AND it uses the exact same software that we use here. The owner doesn't seem happy that his site is under-utilized, so I don't think it's in danger of being closed.
Now, PAT has at least three people here who are writing at the highest level (no, I'm not including myself). The two fellows holding down the fort there are not that good, but they are nonetheless serious poets. They might not like having five people pile in from PAT, but they would accept it.
Now, Kris has just started accepting money to keep this place open, so maybe it's not the right time to leave, but I still thought I should tell you of this other forum. I'll share the name if there is any interest.
