Same for me, and also the reason I didn't back the expansion. I still have to take a look at the latest test kit.

Oath, as is, is so strong, I don't know if the do-over is needed for me.

Back then I think it was sort of an event (limited timeframe, might have been 2-4 weeks?). It could be done like that again, or turned into a year-long challenge (rate 50/100/150 things in the database over the course of 2026).
Or you could turn it into a collaborative goal to increase the number or ranked items. To be ranked, an item needs five or more ratings. Currently we have 9381 ranked items. https://rpggeek.com/browse/rpgitem/page/94?sort=rank&sortdir...
Years ago we had something like that among our community goals: Item for GeekList "RPGG Goals 2013 - progress"
There's a tip in there how to look for items with 1-4 ratings in your collection, but I haven't used it in years. Might not work any longer, considering all the changed done to BGG in the meantime.
You could obviously combine the individual challenge with the collaborative goal.
and now for something completely different...
If someone would be willing to start another "character sheet around the world" thing, I'd be in.

My "new" character had been marinating in my imagination for ages, but this was the first time the departed husband of my main character crashed the party via memory lane. And crash he did—bold as a New Year’s resolution you actually keep! 😅
Happy New Year, people! 🥂

Kicking off the new year just as I closed the last—with Good Society PbF, obviously!My "new" character had been marinating in my imagination for ages, but this was the first time the departed husband of my main character crashed the party via memory lane. And crash he did—bold as a New Year’s resolution you actually keep! 😅
Happy New Year, people! 🥂

There can be very much a reason to change it. You can muck about with the scientific rationale behind it if you divorce it from science. It can act in many ways like gunpowder, but have less or more qualities without needing an explanation for the change.
At which point, it no longer works like gunpowder.
