I need to tell this because otherwise i can't sleep nice

Quite simply, i am sorry for being a stranger to the forum lately. i try to check as often as i can, but i almost never leave anything written. yesterday i tried to write something to post in the lisa threads Ygg had opened, but i just kept banging my head on a white window like when i have artist block.
It soundas an excuse to tell you guys i'm very busy, but it's true... i need a break so bad, but i think i wont have it anytime soon and since my future home is at stake, i must try my best for that goal. This leaves me most of the days completely devoid of any strenght to do much.

Yes, if i pushed myself i could add something to LTS, and that's why i apologize... i'm not that strong, sadly. I'm keeping a list of all the threads i really wanted/needed to post in, for better times. Also, i'm not giving up on the lisacon and on the redesign, but i'm being overwhelmed and "clogged up" with plans, so i must drop something from my to-do list or i'll lose it :\

Just want all you member not to think of my silence a a disappointment to this forum... i'm just very tired and probably very lazy. I can't wait for the day when i'll be able to just sit down, throw away the watch and the calendar, and just plan LTS's future.
So, yeah... thanks for reading.

Oh marco...

I don't believe you have anything to apologise for. Really, honestly, truely, nothing at all. It's lovely that you care enough about this place to be willing to do so when you feel it appropriate, but that doesn't change my opinion that it's just not necessary. You shouldn't need to be pushing yourself to this degree, certainly not given how busy you sound like are with other stuff right now.

I also don't think that your 'silence' could be construed as disappointment. Some people just don't post as often as others, that's the way of things . Doesn't mean they're not valuable, and you shouldn't be feeling the need to bang your head against a monitor when you find you've nothing to say. You're busy enough doing redesigns, moving boards around, organising the lisacon, etc from what i can see.

Nor is it somehow your fault if everything doesn't run absolutely smoothly all the time. If you were that good at managing people, you'd be better advised to go into consultancy and make a fortune . People are fickle things and 'activity' is hard to shape and guide - all you can do is try and keep the place friendly and pleasant to view, and let things develope as they will from there. And in that respect i think you do a fine job.

Constructive suggestions perhaps... hmm, maybe you and serge need to get a couple of mods in this place to do more of the day to day stuff? I'm not sneakily voluntering myself here or anything (I'm not really active enough for it to be appropriate by any measure ) but if you could find a couple of people to look after things in general, maybe you'd feel less pressured and be able to find some space to reply to stuff to the degree you want to. That's all I can come up with right now.

In closing, it makes me sad to see you beating yourself up over things that aren't your doing or couldn't be reasonably expected of you. You're great as an admin and another board member (and I've known some awful examples of both in the past) and even through the 'quiet' spells or the arguments or any of the other shitstorms that happen on all forums, i still like lts and find cause to check it most days. And for that I think you should be commended, not distraught.

I look forward to it too. Now go get some sleep

No apology necessary, Marco, none at all.   Life has a way of storing up all the crap and then dumping it on folks all at once, it happens to us all and dealing with it has to be the priority.   I'm absolutely sure no-one will think any the less of you for taking the time to get things sorted, we all know how much you care about LTS.   So take as long as you need and above all, don't worry! 

You don't need to apologize. Everyone here knows how real life can be, and no one is going to be upset if you don't post anything, we know you've been very busy lately. Just take your time, no one will judge you for anything. Life always gets easier before it gets harder  Don't worry about anything.

No need to apology, I act not any better last days.
And you know what? I'm glad such a thread gave life to all those hearty replies
Others said it much better than I could do.

I know the feeling Marco... soo much to do and so little time..... was hoping to get some more free time lately too.

However, real life must always come first. We all know what you do and we are gratefu you always manage to find a little time now and again. You are a good friend to us all.
