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:

  1. People announcing their departure or return.
  2. Moderators announcing a significant forum ban — not trolls or vandals, but someone people will notice and miss.
  3. Inquiries about an absent troper.
  4. Responses to inquiries about an absent troper.

I missed Webby? Awww.

I can't be here, because I don't have access to the school laptop anymore and I don't want to hog the main computer.

Well, my laptop seems to have crapped out its spine.

I won't be getting online much until we figure this out. :/

Sorry to hear that. :( It always sucks when something bad happens to a computer, doesn't it?

I like to keep my audience riveted.

Update: My family will begin the search for a laptop after June 12th. I'm having a meeting for class registration at my college on that day and we have some computer questions for them.

Hello, everybody. I've decided I'm going to be taking a break from TV Tropes for a while. I don't know how long it's going to be for. I'll see you all around.

I changed my mind; I think I'll stay. I'm not entirely better, though.

I'm starting to feel like my old self again. :)

I'm at an all-day meeting at my college. I finished the technology quizzes, so I have free time to surf the Internet. I'm getting caught up through the 100+ Troper Shipping And Dating Service posts that I missed. Let's see if I can get caught up and make a post before I have to go to get registered for my classes.
