As for me, a "vacation" isn't the answer. The site's "pretty much run itself" for far too long and needs someone who's interested in making the site a better place and more worthy of supporting the community than I simply have to give it any more.
I think you are downplaying your last update a bit there. Ok, some folks didn't like vB, after many long years of an almost static XOOPS install.
Now, there are new features galore and most of us are quite unfamiliar with them. I think that will change in time.
So in terms of making the site a better place, you've certainly done that. I don't think so many of us are used to change, we were all pretty much contented with the old site which is why it's taking time for people to realise and appreciate how much better it has become.
