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.

Hello.
So what's been happening the past year?
Well, there's the redesign.
Plus, there's the site switching hands.
A lot of people have left and a lot of new people have joined.
And they also got rid of the nunnery.

I noticed the new design, although I kind of miss the ability to search for a user's posts when you're reading a thread. The option only appears in a forum page now.
I didn't even know there was a function like that in the threads.

I'm still here. I was busy with looking for work, got into freelancing and now I remember I'm an admin of a really obscure, Japanese game. o-o

Space Wolf has been blocked from forum posting and from the PM system for a deliberate and malicious trolling effort against another poster. This is in violation of several of our site rules, primarily "Don't Be A Dick", and "Don't Troll". It also falls under "No Personal Attacks" in a more general sense.
Because this was deliberate: planned in advance and in full knowledge of the rules, there will be no appeal permitted. Attempts to evade this ban will be met with a permanent site block.
We remind everyone else that posting or PMing on their behalf will result in a block on your posting privileges

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
I'm going to miss Swolf. I have no other place to converse with him.

So long, my friend...
I'm gonna miss seeing you here, Swolf.
...?
I'm gonna take a bit of a break from TV Tropes for a while. Just haven't been enjoying my time on here recently. Don't know when I'm coming back — may be a couple of weeks, may be a couple of months. Wish you all the best while I'm gone.
Take care, dude.
-hug-

Have a nice break, bro. I'll miss ya!
Yeah, I might be gone for even longer than I already have. Issues. That's all.

Okay. I look forward to your return, Webby.
We miss ya, Webby.
We wish you the best. :)

I miss you and I'm sad that I didn't see this on the 29th.

Ok today I am doing a hardware upgrade and software update that comes with it on my computer today. The upgrade will be done today and/or tomorrow. There is a chance something may go awry but that should be a slim one but just in case if I disappear suddenly my PC may have gone pear shaped.

Who watches the watchmen?
"Just as planned."
Good luck - small chance of it happening but it doesn't hurt to be safe.

Ok. Coast is clear. Both new pieces of hardware are not only installed but running and updated. I am good to go.

This is just a quick note — my vacation from this site is extending from "a couple of weeks/months" to "until further notice". Just thought I'd let you all know so no-one wonders why I haven't come back yet.
Aw, bye. :(

Hi. Still can't be here. Just wanted to pop in for a second.
