I think maybe once a month it would be great if those with the access to the numbers could relay them onto to the article series writers. One, just to give them some encouragement, and two to see what worked, what didn't work, what people liked and so on etc.

Regarding FAF, I always look forward to seeing what people with way more creative talent that I have come up with and I for one would miss it dearly. I used to be bad at commenting on articles, but now I do try to comment on something if I've read it, even if it is just a "Oh, that one looked nice!".
