You know, I can't really hide behind an excuse. I'm still at an age older posters than me were still extremely active on, and there are posters my age now that have more than double the threads they frequent(ed).

It all started (oh dear) in high school. The latest two years, I saw my activity drop. Then it was because I came focused on school work and school social life, which is cool I guess.
I think at the same time I became more critical of the things I posted, you know. At the same time, I never forgot about TPM; the stuff I wanted to post still rolled in the back of my mind (mostly Adopted Pokémon stories).

Then college came by, and my hours grew so that I came home only to play... what was it now? Melee I think, and Pokémon Ranger. I guess my weekend were spent reading books, though I'm not sure.

Recently, I went through a fase of bookmarking wiki threads (at tvtropes.org), which is a bad habit. The more you read, the more you bookmark, and each wiki page has umpteen wiki links.

So now we're here, and I'm working approx. 9 to 5, and I'm into webcomics, and I can spent an entire day each week-end catching up to the daily ones.
On the other hand, every time I come back to TPM, I pick out some threads I'd like to post at, but chew on my replies so long they drop down the "recent threads" list it isn't worth it anymore.

That's why I decided to read the first three replies and post one myself, before reading the rest here. Extremely "not done" in active threads, I know... then again, the whole point of this thread is that this isn't even an active forum no more.
