I just wanted to say that I feel your pain! When I started playing Diablo II, I didn't have that much else to do. My classes had little homework (or at least homework that didn't take very long) so I was able to play a lot and browse the forums even more! :)
As time went by, I got more and more immersed in the community. I began by testing Wereform attack speeds which eventually drove me to write my Wereform guides. From there, I answered questions, updated the guides and, when the formula was finally figured out, I wrote my Wereform calculator. Now, with 1.10, I've been playing a lot with my Wind Druid and am working on a guide for him.
However, I just don't have the time that I used to. I wrote my Wereform guides in a week during the summer when I had little else to do. Now, I'm swamped with homework, projects midterms and the approach of finals. I've been putting off updating my Wereform guides for winter break when I MIGHT have more time to spend on them. Life just gets very busy.
So I've begun to hand off some things I have done to other people. I handed off the design of the "Santuary Reborn" Diablo II mod to some people who had actually played it in the last year and a half. I've asked some people for input about the wind druid so I don't have to dream up all equipment issues myself. It's just something that happens in life when you get busy.
But, hopefully, in the future I'll be able to come back and pick up where I have left off. My work isn't going anywhere and neither is yours. I'm sure that you'll be able to find plenty of people willing to work for this wonderful website! This will be a new era in the Lounge's history but I think it will be a bright one!
