Question for the Community

This place has been inactive for a long, long time (before The O.C. series finale, there was one post in March 2006, then a gap back to September 2005).

Is anybody still getting any use out of the backlog of links?

I've heard the show will be airing on one of the soap opera channels soon, which might bring a new influx of viewers, but will episode reviews from the first time 'round be sought? I'm certain some of the collected links are dead - journals deleted or gone friends-locked. My inclination is to delete the community, but if I'm told there's still value here, I'll keep it around.

If I haven't heard anything by April 15th, I'll delete (and no, this isn't any sort of April Fool's joke, just something I've been pondering for quite a while).

Not that I really read back posts these days, but just in case someone does, isn't it worth just letting it exist? It doesn't demand any maintenance, does it? And if someone is occasionally reading stuff, but doesn't check it regularly, this post could slip past them.

Just idle musing here...

I like the idea of leaving it open, just in case. There's no similar community on LJ, really, and other places like TWoP will be shutting down boards. So if there's no reason to delete, why not keep it?

I created a community called [livejournal.com profile] ocitagain for rewatch purposes, and there are still many comments each week as we view and comment on each episode again.

Perhaps a mention there when I post each week's ep?

What's the harm in leaving it open?
It doesn't need any maintenance or costs money or anything.
And even if there are no new posts these days, sometimes people like to read back posts. I know I do it sometimes in personal journals and communities as well. So I do think there is still some use for the community.
I personally would be sad to see it go.
