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.

Who watches the watchmen?
It sounded like sarcasm to me.
You know who I miss? Fuschlatz O'Reilly, or however twas spelt. Haven't seen em around in forever... 
Tuefel: Isn't it customary for the challenger to let the challenged choose the weapons of a duel?

It's not quite as funny the second time around...

Hey guys. It's Blixty.
I made this account ages ago (I forget why) and forgot about it until just now. It's finally going to get some use.
Listen. I'm not sure if this is honestly the right place for it so I'm gonna copy and paste this post both here and in "Appeal to the moderation", just to make sure.
Look, I was a real dick just a bit ago, and I think I've made peace with my being banned now. I don't expect to be unbanned any time soon, what I did was idiotic, self-righteous and a couple other adjectives I'm not going to put in this post.
Bottom line, I am very happy to see that the rest of you are banding together and finally resolving to get things done. I hope things will improve around here for the lot of you, because you deserve it.
I have my own problems to work out and I've spent entirely too much time blaming this site for them. Maybe I'll try to come back when I get them sorted out, but now's not the time for talking about me.
I just wanted to say good job, basically. You guys were great to me while I was here.
Thanks.

I've been thinking about leaving, and I've decided that I'm not gonna go.
If Lola stays, I'm staying.
oh, that's why I need this binary mind // ⌘
Well, it seems like everyone I like is either leaving or getting banned (or long gone) and this site is starting to bore me. I'm actually not sure why I thought it'd be a good idea to come back (okay really it was just to stalk Vorpy but whatevs), but at least I still remember when this place used to be awesome, so there's that.
Looking forward to seeing whichever are you are registered on the other sites. For the rest of you, well, bye.
Midnight Velvet out.
...Again (for realz this time).

Someone should quit/be banned and return to this site under the name of Utanapishtim.

That is an esoteric fuckin' joke, but I like it.
