It is a sad thing, but probably a good thing. Frankly, 1SO, you've been carrying the bulk of the board this last year. Since my time off, I've been cutting back on the boards, just because I need to bring more balance in my life, stop doing things because I feel pressure from others to do things. Also because, since Nov 1, I've really focused on writing this novel for Nanorimo (which is a crazy thing, really).
I think the boards would be better if the things that are really popular get taken by a variety of people. It's great that Bondo has taken over the Top 100 Club. I'm really enthusiastic about a month of Musicals, so I'd be happy to take over May. I wonder if Sandy would be interested in taking over the Western month? Without Martin or 1SO pushing Noirvember, I wonder if that will end up going the way of the dinosaur.
But in the end, it is better if we all have balance in our lives. This board is a community, a place of sharing, and it shouldn't be a burden on anyone.
