To all

Everyone, I owe you all an apology. I have been unable to maintain any sort of consistent presence on this forum for a while and ass such have been neglecting my games. Unfortunately, My life has evolved such that I do not see myself being able to return to the activity that I once had on these forums. Life has evolved a great deal since I began here as a player.
On the professional side, I have been at my new employer for almost two years. The work is going well and I have been told that my immediate supervisor is pushing to have me promoted. Unfortunately, this new employment occupies me continually during the workweek. At my previous job, I would use breaks to post on the forum, but I have found that I do not have the same opportunities with this new position. I do travel a lot with my current job, which is another opportunity I used to take to post on these forums, However, the travel is often quite hectic and busy which leaves me with little time or energy to get online.
The family is doing well. I now have three young children that consume most of my time at home and on the weekends. I find it difficult at best to find time for activities that do not include the children or that are purely for my enjoyment. The one possible exception has been gaming. That is to say real-life gaming. My oldest children have taken a small interest in dungeons and dragons (they are 6 and 3 now). They often wish to take part if just in a small way when my real-life group gets together. The new employment has moved me closer to where my group lives, and since that consists of my sister, brother-in-law, two nephews, and wife. we are able to game once a month. Additionally, My wife's close friend and new husband also game which has furhter lead to me spending about one day a month gaming with a second group. This is really only possible because I am doing it with the wife and to some extent with the kids also.
All of these are good things but combined they eat away all of my time. I am still trying to be an active part of this forum, but have found that the few times I do have a moment, I either don't have access to a computer or the desire to do get online. As such, the pattern seems to be that I am online to post only about once every two weeks. This latest gap I feel has been nearly a month.
For those games I am running for single players @kanila @DeepSpacer I would like to continue them, but understand if the pace is simply too slow for you to wish to continue. The same goes for the single-player game that Deepspacer is running for me.
As for the forum in general, most of you know that I host this forum and its content. I originally paid for five years of hosting and believe that that will be running out in the next 12 months or so. I am happy to continue supporting the site and keeping it open as long as it is bringing enjoyment to you all. If this even changes, I will be sure to provide a heads up to the community before anything happens.
I apologize to you all for my infrequent presence on the forum. I hope my explanation above provides some insights as to why this has happened and will likely continue to happen.
