This is a really interesting question, and it has been thought provoking reading the answers from everyone.

I did wander off at one point. I can't say exactly why (and I don't remember for how long), but stuff was going on in my life, and I just didn't feel like being social at all. Stress at work, loss of a couple family members... I just didn't have the heart for it. At some point I realized I was wasting a bunch of money on a premium membership I wasn't using for anything more than storage, I was losing track of what was going on and the changes happening on the site (even though I did log in and poke around from time to time), and I missed the community interactions and the incentives to write.

I got my act together and forced my bad introverted self to come back. I made commitments to do things that would be embarrassing to back out of, basically. The more I stayed, the more I wanted to be back because I remembered why I had been here in the first place. You all put up with my quirky sense of humor and Chihuahua obsession. It is great to have a home like this.
