A lot more poetry threads cataloged here:

Maybe “images” and “photography” should be merged into one category, since most of the posts in the images thread are anyways photos.

Note sure what category these fall under, but I think that they are quite notable discussions:

So, you are pessimistic about its future, and it was not just an oversight?

There are plenty of other threads in the list that are not older than one year.
