Well, I can definitely see where you are coming from with this- I know the pain of having someone you love and trust so dearly just sort of fall out of your life, with nothing you can do to control it because you dont know them from RL, however, I fear it's not nearly this simple.

It's not as easy as it sounds to devote to something other than your life.

Because, in reality, do we all have that much to gain from this site? A few helpful tips, maybe a boost of self-esteem that everyone loves your story and some cool things to read. Nothing here will do you any good in your real life. And it's hard to ask someone to devote to something like that. I personally believe this wiki is a place to have fun and enjoy yourself.

But sometimes we just don't have time for it. Sometimes we have other priorities. Sometimes the things than can ruin the fun are too much to keep up with. Sometimes it's just not worth it anymore.

Maybe I should say sometimes-because the truth is always. No one can stay here forever. No one will.

Yeah it's not that easy to get on and make an edit a day-but over time it will accumulate.

Most of us here are dreamers. We want to be authors, we want to go to a good college we want to get a great job; and some dreams you have to give up a lot for.

I'm not saying people should leave-I miss anyone who leaves a lot but what I guess I'm trying to say is that we shouldn't blame them.

I know there have been several nights I've considered leaving or just becoming less active for one reason or another. I've yet to come across a night where I finally decide to do that. But I will. Sooner or later I have to leave.

Okay this is too long so I'll stop here. Now, amber, you are getting a total pessimists view here so maybe you should try to find a point between what I and my complete opposite pal Rainy, who is an optimist has said.

I guess I'm just trying to say we shouldn't hold anyone responsible to stay on the wiki.
