800th post

In honor of my 800th total post (around 700th card-centric one), I had grand designs on going back and doing a retrospective of the blog through the years and reinvigorating some of the series I had started, as well as remembering some of the post ideas that I lost along the way. 

But I've been over a month contemplating all this and haven't been able to actually pull it off.  It's taken me since January 20th of 2023 to manage 100 posts.  I used to do 150+ in my prime, but that's been years ago now.  And with the overrun of bots inflating the reader numbers, I fear that our little platform is doomed to corruption.  And I really can't come up with a lot of original ideas.  Do I keep going with the same old thing?

So I crafted a little survey to see what you readers think.  Is it worth continuing?  Or should I just fire up the warp engines and head back to the homeworld?  I'll still read other blogs, but more and more I just don't know if I have a lot to contribute. 

 Take the survey here

I included some standard questions about what you collect, mostly for my own curiosity.  I'll post the results after a good number of you respond.  Hopefully, I don't get a lot of non-human answerers.  Please only respond once.  Thank you!

  2. Happy 800th, Greg! The feeling of not having anything to contribute anymore, either through posting or commenting, pretty well sums up where I'm at at this point, too.

    B. I hope you decide to continue writing posts on here... even if it's whenever you can. The more, the merrier.
