That has to do with the fact that the post becomes currency, so to speak, after 7 days.
I am currently having my doubts too, for different reasons though. My last post with 3 cards has been seen by 15 people... and several of these 15 already knew my Tarot cards.
For me, as an artist, there doesn't seem to be much sense in staying at the moment, but I will wait until I am done with posting all my Tarot cards. Then I'll make up my mind.
Anyway, it sounds like you already made up yours, in which case I will merely express my sincerest gratitude for your contributions!
