It was the latter.  TPTB decided they had no more stories for Andie and
wrote her out.  She only had two stories when she was on: dating Pacey and
her mental illness.  The show was not geared to dealing long-term with a
mentally ill character so that couldn't be an on-going plot and once she
cheated on Pacey that more or less eliminated an romantic stories with
other
core characters.  (She and Dawson were not really compatible.)

They didn't have much more for Jack to do.  He soon became the gay guy and
they didn't want to do much with that (and I understand the actor wasn't
interested in it either) and they had no stories for him either.
