Kind of makes me wonder, sometimes. Ever wonder why some people disappear? They run out of ideas, get bored, find a new hobby, or something unthinkable? Not trying to be morbid or bring anyone down… it’s just something to consider when you’re part of an on-line community. HeroMachine has some amazing talent and creativity. Hopefully, our absentees are alive, healthy, and happy. Just wish they would pop in now and then to give us a pulse.
People may come
People may go
Just as long as the waters slow
But watch out when you’re
Headed for the waterfall

Speaking as someone who’s partially gone (okay, I’ve never left, but I haven’t Heromachined in months), I can at least say for me part of it is a creativity block (sort of, my creative energies have gone into other areas, but I’m not sure I can even think of creating new characters at the moment), and part of it is finding time (I have a lot of stuff going on, and finding time to fit Heromachine in has been difficult, especially if I want to properly Zyp an illustration, which would often take a couple hours).
Still, looks like I’ll be away from my job for a while longer, so maybe someday I’ll start creating again.
Like you, I hope that the Machinists that have left are still doing well, both physically and emotionally.
