Are You Not Entertained?

Honestly, I expected the opinion pieces to be among the least favorite blog topics. Boy, was I wrong. (And who would have guessed that "25th-century erotica" would receive more votes than non-Booster comics news?) I guess I shouldn't be shy about giving you a piece of my mind.

Last week's poll question: What type of content would you most like to see more of on the Boosterrific.com blog? (38 votes)

What type of content would you most like to see more of on the Boosterrific.com blog?

Death. It happens to all of us sooner or later. In real life, it always marks "The End" of our personal stories. In comics, that's not necessarily the case.

Comic book characters suffer death much like real humans suffer the common cold. It's an inconvenience, but it will pass. This condition jades audiences, and the resulting difficulty to maintain suspension of disbelief then requires something unusual or spectacular to make an audience pay attention, as recent events in Justice League International #7 and DC Universe Online Legends #24 highlight.

Counting alternate realities, Booster Gold has now "died" at least four times, but as expected he keeps getting better. That makes you wonder: what would it really take to kill off Metropolis' greatest hero?

Quenching Your Thirst

The adult drinks finish in distant second to the soda! We're all just a bunch of big kids here at Boosterrific.

Last week's poll question: Which Booster Gold endorsed beverage would you reach for to quench your thirst? (39 votes)

Which Booster Gold endorsed beverage would you reach for to quench your thirst?

Okay. I got the message that you want to keep the blog around. Now tell me what you would like to read about. (This space has to be filled with something!)

I'd Like to Buy the World a Booster

Thank you to everyone who voiced an opinion regarding the Boosterrific Blog. I was surprised by how many comments I received. It remains possible that in the future I may cut back the number of posts per week, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. One thing's for certain: the world needs a blog devoted to Booster Gold, now more than ever.

Last week's poll question: How often would you say that you visit Boosterrific.com? (45 votes)

How often would you say that you visit Boosterrific.com?

On to lighter fare. Since earlier this week we took a look at some of Booster's endorsements, it's only natural that we do some market research to determine the consumer base for the Booster Gold brand. After all, Dirk Davis needs to know what Booster's fans want before BGI can approach the National Dairy Council about having Booster Gold appear in a "Got Milk?" ad.

Is the End Near?

No matter how you voted in this poll, know that you are making Booster Gold proud.

Last week's poll question: How is being a fan of Booster Gold reflected in your behavior? (33 votes)

How is being a fan of Booster Gold reflected in your behavior?

Speaking of mercenary behavior: I don't know if it's the cancellation of Booster's title, the coming of the New 52, the worldwide cultural zeitgeist of impending doom, or something I've done wrong, but traffic here at Boosterrific.com is half of what it was even 6 months ago and trending downward. Outside of less than 5 regular visitors (you all know who you are), participation in the site is practically nonexistent.

Boosterrific.com has been online since 2007, but didn't have a daily blog until 2010. Together, the apparent public dis-interest in the site coupled with my extreme, ongoing personal disappointment in the New DC have led me to have doubts about the value of continuing to update this blog on a daily basis.

What I need to know this week is if anyone even cares if this part of the site goes away. Please honestly answer this week's poll so I can get some feedback from you, the site visitors, about this quandary.

Ready for the Future

The server migration is complete. Mostly. There are some lingering problems with the Forum, and it will remain closed until debug is complete. Otherwise, everything else appears to be working fine. If you note anything broken, please let me know in the comments or via email at webmaster at Boosterrific.com.

Booster Gold by Michael Birkhofer

The above pin-up pretty much sums up my current optimism. It was created by Michael Birkhofer a few years ago, but good art never goes out of style. You can find more of Birkhofer's work on his website mbirkhofer.com and commission information at mbirkhofer.deviantart.com.

[UPDATE 01/23/12: Forum is now restored and re-opened.]
