This is a thread for people who will not be or have not been on the site for a while, whether due to real life or to resist an internet addiction, the latter of which is encouraged within reason. Also, talk about the benefits/whatever of taking a day or a weekend off, or things to do when not online. TV Tropes ruining your life is nothing to be proud of.
Generally, expect the following from this thread:
- People announcing their departure or return.
- Moderators announcing a significant forum ban — not trolls or vandals, but someone people will notice and miss.
- Inquiries about an absent troper.
- Responses to inquiries about an absent troper.

But...But I am proud that TV Tropes is ruining my life...

I'll have to keep this thread in mind for later, since I tend to go through periods of Archive Binging on TV Tropes and the Forum (such as now), followed by break periods where I focus on school (probably in a month or so).

No, I am not going anywhere, but many others are.
Some writing.
So this thread isn't for observing who hasn't been here for a while, but for people to announce when they won't be around?
I wrote about a fish turning into the moon.

All of the above and also the felines. This is Yack Fest.

I know everyone else is leaving, but... I think I may too. Maybe. I don't think this place is good for me, because it's eating away my time and I'm too emotionally attached. You guys wouldn't miss me that much anyways.
I may leave in a week or so. Expect me back soon because my willpower is extremely weak.

Not true on the missing bit, but I won't doubt you on the rest.
What's the frequency Kenneth?|In case of war.
rrrrrrrrr
I am not leaving. I hope many of those that are won't be leaving permanently.
I am going to be slowing down a bit on here, though. I think it's been going a little Tetris on me. I'll still be around, of course, but posting a lot less than some of the crazier periods.
Sakamoto demands an explanation for this shit.
when you start having dreams about tropers you know it's time for a break.
...not that that stopped me...
...i am not an absent troper... just an absent minded one...

I don't know how long I'll be gone, be it a week or so or less. * But all of you are great and I just need some time off, so there's no need to worry for me. I'm going on a mental health break. You won't even know I'm gone, so don't even think anything of it.
Goodbye, all.

Right, so, hilarious story. Solstace's friend and neighbor, let's call him "Bismarck" * is playing World Of Warcraft when he notices a lot of lag. He checks his internet connection and, oh hey, somebody shouldn't be there! So he gets a password to boot him off!
"somebody" turned out to be Solstace. So he'll be back pretty soon, within a few days I think.
