Normally I wouldn't bother with a public thread when I take leave, but recently more and more users have referred to me as the "most active mod" so I figured ya'll deserved a heads up at least.
The balance in between my life, writing on althanas, and working on althanas is not a happy one. It's getting to the point where I spend more time than I want to on althanas, and most of it is spent working behind the scenes or assisting members via PM or IM. Because of that I'm beginning to feel resentment towards people who don't deserve it. Rather than attempt to forcibly modify my mood and behaviour, I'm simply removing the cause.
As of about five minutes ago I officially posted leave from all active duties. I'll still be writing (including the mission board threads I joined in Underwood), but my goal is to make all of the time I spend on Althanas "writing time". Hopefully a week or so of this will be enough to make me feel optimistic about this site again.
