Hello everyone!
I apologize profusely for my absence here on DA. But, to be honest, I don't miss it that much.
I miss seeing the artowork of my dear friends and inspirations, and I miss the fellowship and all my watchers' and submitting art and taking regular commissions. But I don't miss the fact that I used to be addicted to DA.
Stupid, but true.
I used to spend every waking hour on DA or thinking about it. And I don't miss that feeling.
Going to Bible College has changed my life for the better. As some of you may recall I was angry and bitter excatly one year ago because my parents were shipping me off to a Bible College. But so many amazing things have happened.
God has richly blessed me for (reluctantly) obeying my parents and coming here. The year of teaching I received was eye-opening and convicting; I learned about God in ways that I never knew were possible. God has blessed me with being able to work on staff here at the college as a full-time assistant cook and graphic designer, and I am now in a relationship with one of my former classmates, whom I can see myself going far into the future with.
On the topic of the EB group.
I do miss the Ballator community and I know it hasn't been easy with me being gone, and it wasn't fair for me to shove the responsibilities on my Admins like I did. I am carefully considering what I should do with the group. I know this is selfish of me to say, but I really do not want to sell the breed or pass it on to someone else; after all this is a breed I made up when I was about 10 years old. It's been with me for 10 years; that's a hard thing to give up!
I am open for suggestions on what the community thinks about this.
Anyways. Thank you all-- I would not be where I am artistically without my lovely friends here on DA. I hope to be online more often, but I'm an adult now, and real life takes priories over the internet.
I love you all, and God bless <3

No need to apologize everyone complete understands what it's like to be addicted to DA to the point where it's an insanely impossible thing to get away from.
As far as the EB group goes, I'd say you keeping them would be the better option than giving them away or selling them. I would like to think of the EB's as they are your children, they mean THAT much to you and thus are something that you should keep forever. As for the group itself, my suggestion would be that if you re-open the group give a months time before opening things like breeding, custom creation, etc. so that you and the moderators can discuss what is best planned and done. Another suggestion I would say is to work the group as though it is a personal job with you as the General Manager, your Co-Founders as your managers/higher ups and then with Contributors, etc. as the employees with members actually being your customers. Talk with one another to establish who does what, such as who accepts breeding notes and who would accept artwork into the group or who checks genos/foal designs to make sure they are done properly. I'd also suggest perhaps getting people just FOR these things in the group as well. Perhaps if you want switching people who are Contributors to where they can only accept submissions, etc. could help. In a way, basically splitting up the work so that not everyone is doing it but also keeping it to where everyone has the say over something but in the end YOU have the final call on it if you are online to look things over.
That's personally how I see groups in some ways, to me they are like a job and you can actually use the experience of running a group on DA as non-traditional work experience. So treating it like a part-time job could give you some ideas for how to run it if you choose to reopen it.
