I usually go on stints of activity and inactivity here and there. Previously it was because of school, then because of work. Lately I haven't had much to occupy my time and do enjoy the company of a good number of people on this forum. It's only the forum part of TBT that usually bears the brunt of my lack of attention. I'm always available and reachable on the IRC, and have always been for at least 4 years.
