We could obviously make a poll whether or not people want to know about updates regarding boxshots, but I don't think that should change anything. I, for example, don't even bother reading an update if it's for a game that I don't care about and it doesn't make difference if it's an update about the game itself being put on the site, or about a manual or a boxshot. But that doesn't mean everybody else feel the same about that game. Same is with the boxshots.

The whole point is that this is a non-profitable site run, managed and contributed to by volunteers. We are not trying to sell a product and therefore trim updates to attract special target group. We are not trying to win some prestigious award of a forum with most of the active members. As someone said, we would keep running thing the way we do whether we had 1000 members or 10, because that's what the site is made for - preserving abandoned games and all that comes with them, whether it's an award winning title and the crapiest game ever.

So, if someone desides to stop visiting the site just because the news are (lately) only about the boxshots, that's their choice and no one's loss but theirs.
