Card Room Migration: Phase 1 - Breakdown

Operations in Maryland have been closed since late October.  I started moving boxes of cards the day of settlement 😄. Except for most of my bulk Redskins and some larger sets, the majority of my collection has been moved out.

If you follow the link to my Featured post that's tagged on the Home page (just there to the right -->) of the Hivemind Headquarters as it was, you can see it looked something like this:

 

 

Well, before the furniture move, it looked like this:

 

 

This one is an "in progress" shot of the binder shelves on the right.  Those shelves were cleared and the boxes taken to the new house.  The rack is still there for the moment.  Everything is off the walls and tops of the cabinets and shelves too. 

Even the desk and shelves in the computer room have been cleared. (I'll get the posters soon.)

Stay tuned for the prep work on the new (larger) space!
 

Operations Suspended: Headquarters Moving

Collecting and Trading operations are temporarily suspended due to Headquarters relocation.  HiveMind Headquarters is moving from Thurmont, MD to Fairfield, PA.

I know, it's supposed to be a Borg ship, but this was cooler...

New location will consolidate Collecting Operations into one space of about 19' x 14', which is close to the total of the two previous spaces.  Stay tuned for images of the new setup in a couple weeks.  Automotive operations will also be located completely onsite as well.

Inventory transfer is currently in progress.  Infrastructure and communication setup will commence around Nov. 14.  Further transmissions will be very limited until then.

 
And please fill out the survey if you haven't already ~ thanks to the 36 respondents so far.

Victory Is Ours!

I think the bots have finally been turned back!

Reader levels for all posts have returned to normal levels.  Even the Bot Decoy post has only one read this week.  When I check the Stats page, the top ten most-read posts only have teens and single digits next to them now.  The surge has come back down in the charts too:

Just today it looks like only three of my list pages were opened, instead of all of them by dozens of readers.  I'd put up the other charts, but you guys know what I'm talking about....

I hope the casualties were light in the Bot War.  I do not have final reports on Borg ship deployments or battle damage, but it appears that we have defeated the dreaded enemy.  Thanks to our brave warriors for preserving the blog domain.
 

Bot decoy

Check out my 800th post below or at the Older Post link.  I'm making this post because the 800th has 8 survey responses, but over 500 readers.  This post will take the brunt of the bot attack and leave the previous one to a reasonable number of reads, maybe.
