My day job has inevitably gotten to the point where I may have to be a bit less active here (I'll only be available on weekends), plus I want to get to the point where I contribute more art and full-on animations here than I receive, so don't go thinking something horrible has happened to me every time I go a bit quiet on the week days. If anything, it means I'm being more productive than ever. Pretty impressive, though, that NG has become my most addictive site without relying on soul-destroying algorithms, to the point where I could stand to better balance my time here.
See you on the weekend!

There's sooooo many great artists here that I am unlikely to find elsewhere, and the list of great artists, animators and game devs here keeps growing every day as they get screwed by the likes of X/Twitter, ArtStation, DeviantArt and YouTube, and look for a site less hostile to artistic users in particular. That's basically why Newgrounds has become "addictive" to me. It's gotten to the point where I need to carefully decide how much time to I want to spend scrolling through and commenting on the submissions of the growing number of cool artists I decide to Follow here, versus actually contributing my own stuff to this site, even if the time demands of solo animation + a day job mean I might have to "disappear" from here from time to time to get more stuff done.
And I really think a lot of people here are cool and worth having conversations with, including you, so I don't want to become one of those famous artists that completely ignore the comments they get to ensure they have as much time as possible to actually make stuff. I still want to carve out time to actually respond to every remotely-interesting comment I get and art of others I really like. Plus, I can't work ALL the time or else I'll burn out (like today, obviously I'm procrastinating), so I do want people to know that I'm available here some of the time, still.
You seem to be most active on Sundays and only Sundays, and so do I lot of artists here I admire, so I might try still being consistently active here on Sundays, at the very least...
