Exactly what it says. Many reasons, but the bottom line is that I'm tired of scheduling in hours for posting, only to find out I don't have time for it anyway... and when I do post, I usually regret it afterwards. Rping seems more perfunctory now than enjoyable, and I'll feel better after the responsibility's off me.
If I have free time on weekends and school breaks (nearest one's in November), I'll pop in. Don't know what'll happen to Ascendancy - if you guys have plots, feel free. If you get stuck, I can improvise easily enough to budge you guys along.
Keep rocking... may your souls stay intact... and farewell... though hopefully not forever.
