👍 Good Plan.

Many, if not most of us, will go through cycles in our imaging lives. It is very common for there to be periods of intense, maybe nightly activity, extending months or more, followed by burn out, recovery, and renewed interest.
I still get messages from Astrobin users that have found my image gallery and send positive posts, ask questions about technique, equipment, etc. These are very often people fairly new to imaging and it serves to share the body of knowledge. As a medium it provides global sharing far beyond the reach of IIS, and even if retire completely it will still be there.
