In other news...well, I have a feeling I'm not going to be around the EGB much longer. My interest in NG is at an all-time low...not because of anything knocking it down, but mainly because I don't really feel any incentive at all to be active. Hell, I even missed another deposit a couple days back because I completely forgot about the site. Should I decide to resign (or, at the very least, relinquish my power and become a quasi-active normal guy), I'll let y'all know. I'm still keeping an eye on this place.
Sorry to hear that, buddy! Well, you know I'm always on AIM if you want to talk about stuff, but I can definitely say I've been in your position before. As a matter of fact, the roles were swapped. It's hard when you just don't have that drive to go on NG and keep going, especially when the Barracks is involved. At no point was I ever uninterested in the EGB, but when the Internet directs you elsewhere (read: MMORPG's) or life just takes over (e.g. actually gaining one), you just can't keep going.
I can say one thing for sure: the EGB will still be here whether or not you choose/are able to participate, so you sure don't need to feel like you're letting anyone down. However, I can also say that we'll be quite sad if you do leave and you will have many friends here that will miss you. That said, however, you need to do what you need to do. I don't think anyone would want you to force yourself to post here or do whatever, or worse, have it affect your life adversely. So do what you must, and know that I (and I am sure the rest here) will support whatever you choose.

Aww, cheer up man. We all lose interest in NG every now and again, but usually it comes back around within a week or so because all our friends are here. Or are on AIM/Yahoo/Windows Live/MSN/facebook/etc. I ain't letting you resign. You're one of the coolest guys I've met on NG.
Forceful, aren't ya. He sure is awesome, and if there's one thing I learned, getting older and the passing of time hasn't seemed to quell my interest in this place. I'm sure even if he chooses to be inactive for a while...he'll be back. He sure as hell better be back. :-)
Friends:
Hey, I made the list! Awesome!

He has been added, because of the last one however....He will be classed as *NEW* since its a pain in the backside totalling it all up again!
The small price of inactivity...
I shouldn't suspect that this will effect the EGB in terms of stability. Of course we are saddened, but we are a strong bunch and users. You take time off NG if you need it.
The EGB ain't goin' nowhere if I have anything to do about it. :-) But we do have a full roster of capable members that will always be here to rise to the occasion. :-)
Anyway, my only hope is Slash gets some time to read my story, as I'd like for him to see me memorialize him in the story. :-) That being said, I AM still working on the sequel, so don't lose hope on that one just yet. Once I hit a groove in this story it'll be flowing fast and furious. I have so many ideas but am having trouble getting them out in words right now...
