I could and have. I used to check in several times a day, but once went a few months without, and now easily go days without.

I live in constant fear of being banned and wonder what effect that will have on my life.

…so that the quality can go back up again? 😛

I used to not post much. But now that I have all these mobile devices to take up my downtimes I’m on here a lot. Giving up this place would be easy if I bothered to find something else to take its place. Giving up going to my phone or iPad whenever I have to wait for something would be much much harder.
