Most of you know that the Open Arts Forum submission board (what you're reading now) is closed to search engines and those not registered here. That's by design, for we want members to be able to submit work here without worrying that it will be considered "previously published" if they decided to submit the work elsewhere.
The downside of that, of course, is that news and announcements that appear on Member News & Announcements board at OAF will be seen only by the membership of this forum.
The newly created FeaturedPoetry, by contrast, is visible to search engines and the public, even those who are not registered, so making an announcement in the Member News & Announcement board there will potentially get your announcement seen by more people, especially as that forum gains membership and activity.
So if you have an announcement, sign up there if you'd like to and take advantage of the "open" nature of that site:
https://featuredpoetry.com/
You can of course continue to post news and announcements here.
