Hi everyone,
I'm sorry I have to do this, but you won't be seeing me here for awhile. Don't worry this isn't some goofy post like others with similar titles. Everyone has been great here. The problem is the website I run is losing ground to some of my competitors. Those being sites of the same genre. I've put everything into that site for the last three years and to me, that's just not an acceptable situation. For those familiar with the Alexa ranking system my 3 month average rankings are all going down not up. The funny thing is it isn't b/c my traffic has decreased. it's just that other sites are growing and I haven't been doing the work on my end to meet them. If I'm going to pick up the slack I know that I have to get serious now and that means more time spent working on and promoting the site. When I start gaining some ground I'll be back.
Before I go, special thanks to CollegeGirl, Tuscadero, Chad Doody, The Fonz, Katie_NY, *Shortcake*, Istillgotit, TheFonz, animalcrackers, Ralph Malph Ricardo, White_Daisy, AnaheinPMWitch and *MissConanOBrien*. You guys rock and I hope I'll be able to get back here soon and b.s. with you all again

I expect to see you back here as soon as your site has progressed. For someone who has given me boosts of encouragment through the months, let me say that I know you will be a success.
