ayyy goemar
I've never been particularly good with the serious, but I basically saw myself years ago in that post (yep, I read it all and I know the feeling too well)
It's nice to see you're still passionate about the work you do :]
Though, we've all got patches in our life where it's a little hard to follow our old passions. We get busy, and Real Life Things happen. Jobs, moving out, love. We go back and reevaluate things, and sometimes realize the shitty fact that these things have shoehorned their way into our lives leaving little room for our old hobbies. :/
That was me with spriting and ripping years ago. Unfortunately, real life won and now I'm more or less VGR's most vocal squatter. ): But, likewise I've always loved the community and I'm also passionate about the site's future (oh, yeah, that's why I've been so vocal and a pain in the ass all this time. Sorry VGR staff...maybe I should have been more straightforward with that sooner)
I, too like having this place as part of my life. ):
Like the others here though, I'd recommend you keep your domain kicking 'cos it sounds like you loved the heck out of that place.
But if things are a little tough, you don't need to actually sprite/pixelart like every single day to enjoy the place. It's OK to go from "artist" to "enthusiast"...and whether this is temporary or permanent, we're not gonna judge you on your decision. You're our pal, and you're VGR's pal (like, I'm pretty sure the vg-resource domain, site network, and large SQL database, if it could, would become sentient and give you a big hug right about now)
That all said, it's good to have you back, Goemar. [:
