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.

Welcome back, Wolf. Hope things are fine for the moment.

Thank you, Quag. Things are how they are.

Wait, why are you leaving? 
Did something wrong happened here?
You seem like a nice guy from what little I've seen of you. Why are you leaving?
In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good.
I'll be leaving for an unspecified amount of time. I don't need to be called an asshole for being a feminist. And I can't deal with apologists in a civilized manner. I haven't really felt welcome here for a long time now and should have taken the hints a lot sooner.

Well, this is it. Tomorrow morning my vacation begins. I don't know for sure if the hotel I'm going to has a free computer room or not. If it does, I'll give you all a ring when I arrive. If it doesn't, I'll be back on Monday. When I come back, I'll be a year older. I hope you all have a good week and take care of yourselves. Goodbye for now, TV Tropes. Adieu, my friends. :)

Farewell Demetrios! I hope you have a nice birthday and lots of fun on your holiday! ^_^
Have a good birthday and holidays, Demetrios! May they be fun ones.
See ya, Dem.
Have fun, Deme.

As for me, I think I'm going to taken an absence from the site. I'm not sure how long it will be, actually. Could be a day. Could be a week. Or longer. I just feel as if I spend too much time here and it's gnawing away at my sanity, bit by bit. I think a little bit of break would do well.
So, till I feel more pleasant, see you later. Stay awesome, people.

It's understandable. May you recover well and get things back on track. When you return, we'll welcome you with open arms. Take your time, read books, and may you meet good and interesting people, in order to avoid gnawing at your sanity.
