You can re-launch it but you'll always find interest tailing off after a few weeks.

You'd be much better off only doing one say every 4-6 months like it was when it started.
You could very well be right Urban, but I'm just giving it a go at trying to resurrect the idea. If it doesn't work no biggie, I'll move on. It's not as if I haven't enough to keep me going as it is.

be something brand spankin' new
or something they've re-discovered
in the last week, or something else
that just hits you right this week/day.
Let's see how the themed one works and then I might try doing that. Fact is, a lot of people just won't bother whether there's a theme or not, so better to identify those who are prepared to participate (be it with or without a theme) and then if we end up with a sort of core of regulars (assuming it doesn't fold after the first one) I may ask them how they want me to proceed.

Baby steps, as they say.
