I know that this is a free time project without any obligations. But anyways it would be fair for all those of us running a production server to state how long a time-out is planned to be or, if the motivation is gone that the project might be stopped indefinitely.
I'm not accusing you of anything, ArteGordon as you did a great job so far but it is important to know what's going on for our own planning. It takes only one sentence and two minutes to avoid leaving a sour impression.

The community is still here. I think this is still one of the places I visit frequently besides runuo.com. The fact Arte might be busy with other commitment, does not stop other people to step up and play the helper role.
In fact I think the problem that this place is slowly quieting down is because most people are here seeking help or information, but the contributions and returns have not match up with the requests. So we are all here draining a pool that rely mainly on a single source - Arte.
Everybody can take a break from something, I don't see why Arte can't. In which case, if everybody do it more often to share quests they designed, share script mods, add more tutorials, help answer people's questions when they know the answer, so the community can grow on its own even when Arte is not around. Wouldn't that be a much better situation?
Arte's xmlspawner is like a platform, it is up to the users to keep it growing by sharing more building blocks on top of it and helping each other. Much like the runuo platform, where it is the users share and help each other.
And I am pretty sure that is what Arte wants to see.

That's totally fine with me and whenever I have a look in this forum and I think that I have an answer to a question I'm not hesitating posting it. Even though I'm not getting the answers I seek without Arte myself ;-)
As I said, he has no obligations to fulfill and I'm not blaming him for anything. It would simply be fair to know what's going on for all the users future planning.
