I think that it would be easy enough for anyone to set up a new board. It isn't difficult or expensive. I don't see any reason for Anu to mention it on AWAD - whether it has been set up by me (which I might) or you. It is pretty easy to get your website listed by the search engines, then follow it up with a certain amount of marketing - it will sink or swim according to its own merits. I have no doubt that there are some people who might like such a place to discuss words. There are several others out there - we just happen to have landed in this place. I don't think that using AWAD as a crutch would be necessary or acceptable.
Edit: I understand that this message has been misunderstood as negative. It is not. It is entirely positive. I support the setting up of as many new boards, by as many people as wish to do it, as the market (=english speaking population with access to computers) will bear. I do not see the link to AWAD as being particularly helpful or necessary.
