Okay, I'm back again.

Will be catching up on my backlog of responsibilities this week starting with the contest/trophies. [@Hank] also let me know via Facebook that we've had a bit of an adbot problem, so I'll also be introducing his preventative measure idea of requiring new users to create a new topic in the Introduce Yourself forum before they can do anything else. I also have other ideas in mind if that's insufficient.

People often ask me why I leave for long durations of time, and it's because when I shift focus to the Guild, since it's so close to what I do for a living (web development), I've noticed a pattern where my focus on the Guild often comes at the expense of neglecting my work. So that the Guild doesn't interfere with my work, I tend to wait until tackling critical objectives at work before allocating time to the Guild.

Wish I could find a moderate middleground, but I've been trying to do that since 2007. :lol Thankfully the Guild's staff is always so consistent that they make up for lulls in my burst-fire, and one of my main goals for the remainder of the year is to continue improving their tools so that I'm not the bottleneck of things like contests/trophies.
