I think it is very interesting when you look at The Most Popular Posts (over to the right below the invisible "Donate to keep CBO going" box).
The Chines language post 您好！ was posted on the 5th March, 2014 and has never been surpassed yet, however, Goodies From David ("The British Manara") Gordon was originally posted on the old WordPress CBO in 2010 and reposted here on the 2nd February, 2011 and apart from a stint at number 1 has never been pushed out of the most popular English language post since!
On the 27th Agust, 2014 I posted I Would Like To Point Out That Deadpool Sucks Like A 97 Year Old With No Teeth And Only A Melon To Eat and proved not just the low IQ of some comic readers but also that a large number of Deadpool fans had no sense of humour! I got comments such as "Deadpool is the greatest I hope you die of something nasty!" and the old time favourite "You talentless ****! Can't cut it so you mock others like a ******* pisser!" (and before you ask, yes, I did ban my mother after that).
Of course, it is extremely rare that regulars would see the constant abusive comments as they are reported and deleted straight away.
went out and has remained firmly in third most popular post position -showing how powerful a presence Chinese readership of CBO is. This was proven on the 13th April, 2014 with 我会推荐什么漫画书？ - 更新 the Chinese language Avengers post. Again, never budged a place in all that time.
Titan Books:The Secret Service -Kinsman was posted on the 24th March, 2014 and is still a popular post.
On 10th March, 2012 I posted a sketch I had found in a box -Reality Check Controller circa 1998 it is still popular and being viewed...today!
8th April, 2017 and the last of the big Favourites was posted: T-Shirts, Mugs, Caps, Comics and more -Black Tower Stores and it highlights a problem. I have heard from comic fans who buy based on reviews and Titan Books noted orders for books pick up after featuring here. Yet, neither David Gordon or Black Tower has ever benefitted. No orders or sales.
2014 is a popular date and 2014-2017 was the high point of the comic craze. In fact, by 2017, as I noted at the time, interest in comics and the power of the crooked dealers was on the wane. Oh, the crooked dealers -including the dubious store owners who want to rip everyone off are still there but in lesser numbers as their pals moved elsewhere. 2017 saw the gradual disappearance of You Tube comic channels, comic blogs and the only real presence was the fake SJW/Anti SJW War: which has declined tremendously when it comes to people being interested -I mean you can only listen to so much racist, homophobic name calling and lies and counter lies.
You can chart by blog stats the peaks and troughs but at least with CBO the interest has remained constantly high despite Blogger and Google messing up time and again.
All I need now is for people to buy my books or help fund CBOs continued existence.
