I'm back... and I'm sorry

Hello everyone,
If you joined webDip in the last year or so you probably don't know me, but for the old timers, I am back. Almost exactly a year ago I started a new job after graduating college, moved across the US, and generally had a lot of life changes. With all of this, I had less free time, and had to make adjustments in my life. At first I tried to just cut back on webDip a little bit, but eventually (and for other personal reasons) I stopped webDip altogether. I ghosted webDip.
People ghost webDip all the time, its a hobby where people come and go (I even ghosted webDip for three years from 2015-2018 after joining back in 2014). But in this particular instance, I feel awful for what I did. You see, back in the Fall, I made two commitments - I committed to finish up the dev work I did on Ghost Ratings, and I committed to help Goldie host the World Cup tourney. In both instances, I left without an explanation to Goldie or the dev/mod team, and without trying to find a replacement co-host or anything.
So this thread is my way of saying sorry to Goldie to for leaving him high and dry with the World Cup tourney. Sorry to the other devs for not being able to help out when I said I could. And sorry to everyone on webDip for getting everyone excited about the integration of GR into the site and then not seeing it through completely in the ways that I originally intended.
As far as webDip as a whole goes, it looks like yall didn't miss me one bit and are doing just fine without me, so that makes me feel a bit better about the whole thing. I still don't have a bunch of free time, so I am not going to commit to anything, but I look forward to reintegrating myself into this site that I have had fun with (on and off) for the last 7 years. Maybe I'll join a gunboat game to get my feet wet again. Maybe I'll join mafia again and remember why I both love and hate it. And if the stars line up just right, maybe I'll do a few dev things here and there. But for now, I'm going to go clean out the 152 unread PMs I have in my inbox.
