Well, we appear to have hit one of those unfortunate periods where everything detrimental to WR-time happens at once.
Revan and I attended a United Nations Youth Association summit thing (mock debates, spoke to some Australian delegates and such) this weekend, which has taken a bit out of us both before and after (it was a great experience and well worth it, however).
We (along with the Desert Fox) also have craploads of assessment coming up, and I can only assume others are in a similar position. I know I personally have five assignments all due in on Tuesday next week, and others scattered after that period.
Revan has had relatives staying with him (I believe they are gone now?) and Harley Duke has been forced out of his room for a week while they have guests over, and will have no real access to a computer for the next week or so.
Also, Mal has had her sister's wedding and some big state-wide test thing, so I've been told.
So... yeah. This probably annoys me more than you realise. I had significant stuff I wanted to do this month but it wont be happening by the looks of it.
And now I have to go again. Hang in there guys, we'll all be back in order soon.

Life hits you fast, doesn't it =D.
I have finals this week too. So I will probably not be on very much.

Same here, James. I have to attend my brother's wedding, and then there's also the fact that my family down in the States, all 13 of 'em, are coming to a visit. So the computer is gonna be in a hard-to-reach place.
Funny how it happens at the same time?
Anyway, bye! Hope your meeting-like thing goes well!

This is why you all need laptops! Just kidding, I know how tough it can be to get to a computer when there's a ton of people over, or you have exams or whatnot.

Lol, laptops don't always help. I'll do my best to keep an eye on things, but I'm about to move back down to school for the summer semester... and between preparing for that and other random events, it has been, and will be tough for a nice little while (probably done by June 4th or so, but not sure).

Yeah I ll be back on more often after June 5th. School will be out for summer by then and My sister's wedding will be June 13th so i can't see myself on that day. But I will only have to worry about work basically and that won't be to hard to balance.

Lab tops can help, but they are an expensive toy, or so I have been told School usually ends June 3rd in most districts throughout the east coast. I could probably assume that is throughout the whole country. However, I do not think not having you all here for a few days is going to cause a whole lot of problems. It would just be less convenient when yal'l are not here to answer my question (just playing. I know how you guys get annoyed with them.)

*Laughs* Oh, I never said that Lab tops are not worth the buy. Especially if it can be provenly tested to save your life. That would be quite nice in the lower parts of the city where I live. But I suggest that if you are going to try out such a thing, than please be the one with the gun, and let someone else hold the labtop. That way, we do not loose another moderator. *Thinks again* Oh, and make sure it is not your labtop.

I love my laptop to pieces. Best eight hundred dollars I ever spent! I named him Spartacus.

I'd really like a laptop, but a computer in my room is still good for me. Btw, I too have exams coming up and my school doesn't end til th 13th or somewhere around there, and then I have exams. :\ So you won't be seeing much of me either, even though there's not much going on with my character anyway.

Yes, I am using a computer in my room too. However, when I am not on that specific computer, I use the ones at school.
Me having a labtop, personally, would not go well. I tend to not only loose things, but abuse them too. TO me, it just does not sound like an option at the moment.

I'm just making this an announcement so that everybody takes notice of it, at least until we have the majority of the staff back on full force (should be back into the groove of things next week)
