If I get bored with something, I take a step back until I want to do it again. If your desire for it doesn't come back even after an extended break, well, maybe it's not that important to you! Don't force yourself to come if you aren't feeling it anymore, basically.
You're just gonna plug this everywhere you go, aren't you? xD
Though I can hardly talk, it's how I greet people when I go on Omegle.
@Evastio: I do something else. I get bored of everything all the time. I'll often disappear from EoFF for weeks at a time. I mean, sure, I'll come back to check PMs and usernotes, but I only recently started getting active again (yes yes, mysteriously just before Ciddies). I don't think people mind if you just leave. It may be worth just not EoFFing for a while, and doing something else. Preferably something that will remind you of EoFF and make you come back here, please. Like play FF, or catalogue photos of BoB or something.
Having said that, I'm a right miserable, so it's probably better not to take my life advice. xD

Just wait until you get to the point where you randomly think "I want to do something." and then go ahead with it. This is what I do at EoFF. I can be (relatively) idle for long periods and then suddenly get the urge to undertake a project and I do it until I lose the enthusiasm for it. Sometime something will jump-start your desire to be active again, sometimes it'll just come naturally. If it doesn't happen, so be it. But there is little point in trying to force it.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
As BoB said, I see little point in forcing something and I post at EoFF and do all the other things I do because I enjoy them, because I like being involved with them and because doing so makes me feel good. If the passion isn't there then I might get involved in a half-hearted way out of obligation, but that's rarely the case. If something loses a bit of shine, I'll back off for a short period of time and then return to it when I feel better able to commit to and enjoy it.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
I feel the same way as you, Evastio. Though, I can't say that I lost my desire to be a "full-time" member like I was in the past. I was gradually falling out, and during the entire year of 2008, the passion I had was gone for EoFF, and I had my full attention on something else. Earlier this year that had to come to an end and one could say that I had nothing to be passionate about anymore. So at this point, I've decided that I'll try to return to EoFF. Turns out I'm just lurking more than I post, since I have no real desire to fully return since I was gone for a long time. I don't know, I just find it hard to find my place after being away. With the hosting to the Screen Name Tournaments gone over to Ouch!, there's nothing that I can do anymore... or is there??
Apparently, I have been declared banished.
surely there's a better way to add a catalyst other than via suppositorycatalystOr maybe there's just a bug up my ass lately.Goldenboko is evolving into a Jaded oldbie.
Depends what you mean by better, rubah. More effificent? Yes, plenty. More fun? No.
Also less magnificent imho.
I've been here for like 8 years. I need to re-invent the PG persona in order to keep it fresh (ie insipid). So I'll invent 'new' (annoying) PG memes . Otherwise I'll still be talking about wok batter. Though I do still ask people for their asl...
>>> Play/re-play some FF/rpg and you`ll be posting here in no time..
It works for me..
