Most probably Queen will be back, I think he left because of some issues most probably he will be back soon as he closed his account himself, he can re-open it any time

"I do not like overprotection, I prefer active play"
Think again: many great attacking players did use overprotection and prophylaxis.
Fischer played as white the open Sicilian with 6 Bc4 and 7 Bb3, so 7 Bb3 is a prophylactic move against ...b5 and ...b4, or ...b5 and ...Na5 or ...d5 with gain of tempo. So white voluntarily retreats his attacking bishop Bc4 to b3 without being prompted by ...b5 or ...d5 or ...Ne5.
Kasparov played many games with Nc3, Be3, Qd2, O-O-O, Kb1
So Kb1 overprotects weak square a2 and is also prophylaxis against later tactics along the c-file or alon the diagonal c1-h6.
