Indeed, this hasn't been the case for everyone who isn't as socially active as others. In your case, I think that you're "popular" in the writing sense, so even when people don't have the time to read everything in a given week, you're still more likely to be read than others. But then that's also why talonkarrde88 being voted out this week surprises me, because I thought he was also a popular writer that people read and vote for despite his lack of sociability.

There are many factors at play when it comes to the voting every week. I would never claim that it is any one reason for this person staying in and that person going out.

I have a few folks I'm loyal to, but for the most part I am voting based on the weekly output, not on their body of work. If someone I usually really like puts out a dud entry (in comparison to what they usually write; that doesn't necessarily mean their entry sucks), I can't vote for it immediately. I may, however, add a vote to them closer to poll close if they're at risk and I prefer their entry to others that are at risk.
