I definitely plan to still run the CotM and help out with other areas of the site, so I will not be disappearing! This just coincided with me having to leave for travel, so I think people mistook it for me taking off...although I do plan to dedicate my new free time to important things in my life!
As for if I will ever return to the fold, I make no promises, and that would be up to the moderator team. There's really nothing to saying that someone who did a good job and wants to do a good job can't take a break and come back. The problem with the forum staff is that it's very hard to take a break and get away, because when you are green or pink or silver, you stand out as a go-to person, and sometimes you just have so very much to do that you don't get a chance to do anything fun or necessary. Everyone needs a break, especially when they take things
too seriously or dedicate
too much time, something I did - and felt guilty when I wasn't doing, which didn't feel right, because that's not what UESP is about. That, and it's going to be nice to let other people's visions and ideas come in, too!
Basically, I love you all as my dear friends and sure as heck ain't leaving, but I definitely needed to prioritize a few things and get a breather so I can have some fresh ideas. So I'm not disappearing and I'm not dead (yet). I also promise never to disappear and just spam the GD like Dark Lord Cam does on his returns.
PS - And thank you to everyone, especially the other moderators, for being understanding and
finally letting me escape.

Thanks for all you do, Avron! Like Ri'Zahr, though, I'm wondering if you'll keep running CotM.
