I know how you feel. I was pretty active up until a month or two ago, and I know it can feel like a chore, or an obligation to come online and make the edits, and interact with the community.

I love it here, and I keep telling myself and others that I am going to be more active but it seems I just jinx myself every time I do. Sometimes we just get busy or sidetracked in life.

The best thing you can do is just stop being as active as you are now. Don't give up on the wiki because it's usually this site that can brighten your day or keep you entertained for hours. Getting online every day can tire you out and bore you to death, especially if you have alot of toher activities to participate in. But this Wiki isn't a job, or a chore, or if you are like me and others on the wiki it's not even so much of a source of entertainment as much as it is a circle of friends.

Think of it this way. If you had a good friend or circle of friends, would you get bored/tired of them if you spent alot of time with them and around them. The answer is probably yes. The same principle applies to the wiki. You don't need to be on here every day to have a good time and be a part of the community. If you have other things to do, do them.

If you get into the habit of forcing yourself to come online and make edits, then you are doing it wrong. Nobody will hate you if you only come on when you feel like it - just because others might be more active than you doesn't mean you are any different. You don't have to force yourself away from the wiki to get things done in real life (depending on your situation). But the longer you force yourself to stay on this site even when you don't want to, the more likely you are to drift away.

You might as well paddle slower than not paddle at all, if you know what I mean.
