The only time I was on a hiatuses was back in 2008 when I went on a fine arts trip to Disney, which was a week long. Other than that, I've never taken one and I don't plan to unless I go on a trip that's a week long and the place I'm staying at doesn't have free Wi-Fi.

I've taken 2 hiatus's during my time on gaia. the first was because my account got banned for a pretty unfair reason, but i've gotten it back now.

the second time was because i was too busy with school and work and barely had time to sleep! things are much better now. the second hiatus's was actually rather pleasant. when i came back i was wealthier than i had ever been on gaia.

The closest I've ever come to going on hiatus would be a period of half a year in which I logged in every few days, didn't post in the forums, and only changed my avatar every few months.

I'm in a booming period now in terms of avatar creation, which has been brought out by introducing my close friend to Gaia. Seriously, I've made SO MANY avatars since he's been around. I rather enjoy it.

To Whom It May Concern,

I came back from hiatus about a month ago myself. It was a combination of being bored with the site and not having time. I would check in from time to time but never spent more then 10 minutes here. Thankfully when I came back I had several friends very happy to see me back and it helped me deal with not knowing the new items or why certain things have changed. I was gone for almost an entire year so I had a lot to catch up on and if it wasn't for having friends to help I probably wouldn't have bothered with it again. ;w;

Sincerely,

Lady Xem

I took hiatus' when I was indisposed and unable to get to a computer, but I also imposed them on myself to spend some time off this site. It takes a lot of my time. :C

lol I need one. I spend too much time here and I think I'm way too invested. I kinda went on a hiatus in 2008-2009. sometimes I would log on to check up on stuff but didn't do anymore than that. I can't remember the reason. I guess I was bored.

I never really plan on taking a hiatus, but sometimes I just lose interest in the site so I stop coming on here. I do still check daily for announcements and dev alerts and such, but sometimes I don't do much else than that.

I haven't been on much lately. Other sites have been taking my time, and there's not much on here that interests me right now. Hopefully Christmas will make things more interesting for me though.

Like a few other folks have pointed out, I never plan a hiatus, but go on them often. They are typically long, but seeing all of the new items is wonderful. I always try to log in around December and October for the events. The community seems the most cheery then!

Every time I come back, I remember how many of my friends left and that is a little sad, but the forums always feel familiar!

Sadly, I am addicted to this website
So if I'm gone for too long
It's just because I have no way of getting on

I have taken multiple hiatuses. Sometimes I just get bored. i find that it happens more when I have a boyfriend or a really active social life. If there are things that I should be doing instead of being on Gaia, like writing a term paper, I will often come back.
I just recently came back from a pretty long hiatus, probably about two years. I still have no idea what half the items I see are. sweatdrop

I just got back from a ten month hiatus. I remember when I was addicted to this site. I could not go a day without it. I see some familiar faces here in the GCD, but I doubt any would remember me. I haven't posted in close to a year.
I'm not a fan of taking hiatuses, but I recognize when I have work, I need to get it done. I decided to log on because a roleplay partner of mine has an account here, and I thought I might check it out. I've spent several years on Gaia. If I disappear, it's either because I am bored, or I don't have internet. I thought perhaps I would give up on this site completely. Unfortunately, that will not be occurring. This was the first site I ever had my own account on, the first site I ever roleplayed on. Therefore, my account will stay. Who knows if I ever decide to return for good?

I take hiatuses all the time. Hell, I'm on an almost-hiatus at the moment since I usually only check the website for like one-five minutes a week to see if any new items have been added.

I'm just bored with this place. And since I am getting ready to start a full time job + go to school full-time, I'll probably end my weekly Gaia check-ins.
