New Section: Poetry!

Update: April Fools! As most of you have guessed, this was just a joke. Customize.org is here to stay as a pure customization site!

I am very excited to announce Customize.org's newest section, poetry! This section has been in the plans for a while now and is a reflection of the direction Steve and I will be taking the site over the coming months.

Most of you are already familiar with our friends at deviantArt and ArtUproar. They also started as customization sites and by turning to art, have ensured their long term survival. In fact, deviantArt has since grown to be one of the largest communities on the web.

Although we had our fingers crossed that Vista would reignite the skinning community, the flop of Vista has dashed those hopes. It has become clear that for our corner of the web to thrive, we must also expand to something everyone can enjoy.

By starting off with poetry, we also hope to make Customize.org a much friendlier place. Some people have criticized the site, likening it to the wild wild west. Poetry is a great way to express the beauty of our inner emotions. So please, go forth and write and share the love!

Wraybling has already kicked off the section with this inspired piece. I love it and I'm sure all of you will too!
