I do have a question for you, [@Sherlock Holmes]. Why aren't you active enough with the community? Based on my time here, I have only seen you on to do your job as moderator. I can understand if you are too busy with work or school to be more active. It would be nice to see you spending more time with the community while you aren't doing your jobs. Then again, I am not here to demand you to be more active. It is just a suggestion/question after all.

I used to be [i]significantly[/i] more active -- I had several roleplays I was participating in, both on the forums and in PMs, and I was very active in the community socializing-wise. (Spam especially.) Then my life changed a bit -- I moved to Manhattan, I obtained a full-time job that kept me out of the house more (because I was working from home previously), and I had more things going on which stole my active time away from roleplaying. I still care about the community and have a lot of friends here with whom I keep in touch. I am still invested, even if I'm not down for roleplaying much anymore due to time constraints. I pop on here numerous times throughout the day, when I'm able to at work, and also when I get home. Of course, I can't sit on a discord while I'm at work (which seems to be when a lot of people are most active), however, for a length of time to get too involved in a conversation or a roleplay that may keep me from my paid duties. (As I'm sure is understandable.) I was promoted to moderator because I did and do care about the community and because I'm usually a solid voice of reason, none of which has changed. I'm just more active behind the scenes than in front these days.

I know that my ghost-level of obvious community involvement is just temporary, however, so I keep on keepin' on as best as I can in the meantime.

Right now I'm currently working on getting an agent here in the city, so that I can return to illustrating full time and start working from home again, which would allow me much more freedom to socialize. Meanwhile, I'm happy to keep up on the janitorial duties that moderatorship sometimes requires, as they are generally quick/easy to manage, if not glorious in nature. (Because, hey, shit needs to get done sometimes.) I contribute in the small ways that I can at the moment. It's not ideal, but it's what I can do for the time being, until my longterm plans play out.
