[quote=@Cynder] I apologize then. I've been on severe edge since my family has come and gone. As for the hiatus bit. . I feel that I am often unsatisfied with the Guild, but it's also like my home. I also run the Discord. Leaving the site permanently is not really an option for me. Besides, it's usually only a lack of Roleplays and a few bad apples that ruin it for me, so it's not really that big of a deal. [/quote] No need to apologize multiple times -- it's alright. About a year ago or so I was still living at home, so I could've related more to the idea of family causing stress a lot more back then than I can now that I more or less don't need to deal with them unless I feel like it. I don't know if I'd say I'm unsatisfied here, since I'm aware that it's usually just a few bad apples - as you put it - that end up causing the problems, but more than anything I just feel like I'm currently letting this place drain too much of my time. I'm in the process of trying to get on top of a few OOC posts (outside of actual role-playing threads) that I want dealt with, and then I really don't want to need to deal with more distractions -- I'll still manage this thread though. Would've thought the Discord ownership could be transferred over to someone, but I'm hardly encouraging you to leave or anything. On my end, I wouldn't say I have a lack of role-plays -- there's a lot of role-plays I either want to GM or want to take part in (far more of the former, honestly) that I don't have the time for. I tend to put my all into something if I take part in it, and that's a problem when I've got my main project needing most of my attention.
