Even when I don't have other articles, I still always put up a Retro Scan of the Week.  It may make it look like too many scans, but the only other alternative is longer periods of silence on the blog.  Still, if you guys think it's getting a little old, I might retire it.

I like the old scans. It gives a window to how computing and gaming culture was back then. (and fashion trends we wish we could forget lol)

Well, I'm glad you still like them.  I think they're definitely worth doing, but I just want to make sure that people aren't sick of them for some reason.

Thanks for the feedback.  I'd love to hear from more people, too, so if any of your lurkers out there are reading this, why not register and speak your mind?  Mario Jump Blue

If you want the forums to be more active, do away with the blog comment system you have now, and make a new topic for every article in a new subforum. If they want to comment on the article, they'll have to register. Smiley

A late reply to the party... Smiley

Don't consider removing it unless you'll post something else each week Wink there's a very good reason I subscribe to "Paleo-Future" on my RSS feed as well as this Wink

Wow, what a response.

I'm glad you like them.  I'll try to keep 'em coming.  VC&G's RSOTW is part of what has made this site an Internet institution.  Or at least, I'd like to think so. Tongue
