| Was sad to see . Just curious.. was there something about enwiki itself that made you tire of editing as a hobby? Or did you just feel like you've contributed enough and it's time to take on something new? If it's personal you don't have to tell me. -- <span style="font-size:1.6em;line-height:.8em;">]</span>] 05:32, 6 October 2015 (UTC) | |||
| :@{{u|OlEnglish}} – Thanks for asking! It was a mix of those reasons. I started growing tired of editing, and this coincided with my decision to dedicate and focus more of my time on my studies (this is the final academic year before I graduate). The wiki–drama I was involved in from October–December last year certainly didn't help, and it actually convinced me that walking away from all that was the right thing to do. —] (]) 10:17, 8 October 2015 (UTC) | |||
| ::Yes indeed. Sometimes just walking away is definitely the right thing to do. Good luck on your studies and I sincerely hope to see you return at some point in the future. Take care. -- <span style="font-size:1.6em;line-height:.8em;">]</span>] 21:01, 11 October 2015 (UTC) | |||
