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.]

Nothing to See Here

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.

The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Goggles

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.

Don't Panic

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.
