Sup
I'm not going to lie, I lost my interest in watching starcraft... Beside following Bisu's performance, I barely watched any other stuff (I had exams by the time of the PL grand finals so I missed that as well) and thou I love the community I have a lot of stuff to do recently and I feel I'm actually "trying" to spend time in TL right now, which I guess is a bad thing.

I dont feel inspired to make wallpapers and gfx stuff as well, so in that sense I feel a bit useless, if thats the right way to say it. I came to the conclusion that I must stop reading/ posting in TL for a while, I guess its only a matter of time before I become active again, but until then it will be better to dedicate my full attention to some real life shit. So yeah, I'm calling it a break...

What was your longest one?

Hmm, in recent history? Probably 3 weeks and a half, about 2 years years ago, when I was roadtripping.

We'll hunt you down and kill you if you take another 5 month break.

For me, probably about a couple months. Something keeps drawing me back to this place. Can't pinpoint exactly what it is.
God Bless

Since I had been a member for about 6 months or so, I've had no extended breaks. A few days in a row when I was away for a few days, perhaps (but not on my cruises... I checked tl from the sea lol).

I don't think I've peaked yet so is hard to say. No breaks I guess.

I'm going to guess around 4 months. I don't know for sure but it's somewhere between 3-6 months.
