No, this is not a post about the new DC logo. Which as I'm sure you would expect, I don't like, mainly because to me it says "facebook digital widget" instead of "imaginative entertainment." Look no further than DC's Twitter feed here to see a practical example of how hard this new design is to read and how little information it conveys.

But back to the original point of this post: as mentioned recently, Boosterrific.com is going through some continued server maintenance. The site will be migrated to a new server at some point during this weekend. This will definitely result in some down-time for the site, and the forum will likely be closed for most of the weekend. Hopefully, everything can be restored to function in its new home by Monday.

In the meantime, everyone try to enjoy your non-Boosterrific weekend, no matter what DC looks like.

Boosterrific.com now has an RSS Feed. Over the weekend, the Irredeemable Shag of the exceptional Firestorm Fan requested one, and who am I to deny the Formidable Flamehead's biggest fan? You can now read Boosterrific.com every day on your favorite RSS reader. You'll find the feed at feeds.feedburner.com/boosterrific.

A side effect of the creation of the RSS feed is that the Boosterrific.com blog can now be easily exported to Twitter and Facebook. I asked way back in April 2010 if anyone could think of a good reason for the site to have such things. No one did at the time, but now that Shag supports it.... So, anyway, if it is your wont to do such things, follow Boosterriffic here on Twitter and/or here on Facebook.

Boosterrific.com: being dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century one day at a time.

This time, I'm warning you in advance: beginning today and continuing for the next week, there will be server maintenance behind the scenes at Boosterrific.com. This will eventually result in a server relocation which will require some down time for the site. Hopefully, the outages will be brief and limited in number.

In the meantime, if you should come to Boosterrific.com and find that you cannot get your fix of Booster Gold, take a trip over to iFanboy.com and read Jeff Reid's summary of Booster's publication history.

Or perhaps you feel you are missing out on your Dan Jurgens news? Try clicking over to Comic Book Movie.com and read nailbiter111's interview with Dan Jurgens.

Sure neither site is Boosterrific.com, but we'll all just have to make due in these trying times.

Boosterrific.com is taking the opportunity of end-of-the year downtime to upgrade a few things around the site. You may have already noticed the addition of an expanding menu at the page header above to make site navigation a little easier. Most of the rest of the changes are between the panels, so to speak, so you shouldn't notice much else changing.

However, if you do discover something broken that doesn't magically fix itself by next week, please leave a comment so we know where to send our crack debug team next. Or if you'd like to see something that isn't broken work a little better, let us know and we'll look into it. (No promises.)

Thank you for your patience.

Beginning today the weekly Boosterrfic Poll will be merged in line with the blog. This was partly done to give the poll new prominence by making it a weekly talking point. But it was also done partly because I decided to overhaul the polls page and went "all in" on the back-end script overhaul. In any event, expect to see polls on Friday posts from now on.

Last week's poll question: Which is the most appropriate anagram of Booster Gold? (12 votes)

This was probably the silliest poll at Boosterrific to date. We're not out of poll ideas here just yet, I just thought it'd be nice to joke around with some word play after all these months of pulling our hair out over the DC reboot. I'm not in the least bit surprised to see that "got so bolder" is the winner, as I also think that it sums up Booster's journey through Booster Gold, Volume 2.

I was struggling to think of an appropriately weighty question to kick off this new poll format, so I asked my mother for suggestions. She replied, "why don't you ask people what they think about Booster Gold's new hat?" Which simultaneously proved that despite my having run this site for years, mother still has no idea who Booster Gold even is and inspired this week's poll question.
