seriously, i got through times like that with tfp all the time. sometimes i'm gone for weeks or months, and then something happens that brings me back in. usually a function of what's going on in real-world as much as anything. i think the place is over-modded at all - the only thing i wish is that some of the mods were more present, as posting members, than they are...but i guess that's part of the evolution of the board and life in general.
That is true, I have seen it in posters, that when they become mods their whole attitudes change, their posting styles change, they aren't here as often as just posters. I don't know if it is the label and they are afraid to talkas themselves because they feel they havce an "example to set" or if the responsibility burns them out.

I feel if you are a mod it is because your posts and style allowed you to be, so why change and if it's burnout, quit go back to being just a poster and having fun here..... don't get so caught up in the "label" and "power" that you lose who you are, your smile and what you believe in.
