Ugh, as much as it pains me, I might have to stick around and see how it goes.
I actually went as far as to make a NEW character, which I haven't done in ... three years. I don't want that energy to just be wasted.
I would offer my services as a GM as I'm a veteran and have PbP roleplayed for about 15 years and (starting with LARP) have generally roleplayed for 20 years. GM'ed my first RP after about two years and the second a few months later, which then went on to run for several years. However, I also have a family on my own and won't have time to do this as fast as some would prefer and also won't really have time to manage an RP once this week is over; I'll barely have the time to puke out some posts.
In conclusion, I'll be sticking around, I can give tips and perhaps help out a bit with the GMing stuff, but I won't be doing much, since I'm a busy bee.
