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.

Spring break's over so I'm leaving again. My only exception will be to post on the Steven Universe thread when the long-awaited new episodes come out

Take care.

A cousin of mine is getting married, so me and my parents are heading to Ecuador to attend their wedding. We could only get a 10-day trip, so I'll be gone for a whopping 2 weeks.
We're pretty much doing nothing on the non-wedding days, aside from a 2-day hot spring visit, so it's a good thing I have my 3DS with Fates to keep me busy.
But yeah, in a nutshell, I'll be 100% absent for 10 days, attending a wedding in the country of my mother with really good chocolate. Seeya.

I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.
Now that's school's over it's going to be easier for me to post here. So I'm back until August. Although I'm working so I'll still be busy.

Welcome back. :)
I like to keep my audience riveted.

i'm not leaving but have relocated a state away from where i was previously located and will be here for a while, but the important thing is that i haven't gotten the wifi password quite yet, and would rather not burn through all of my data just yet. bear with me, but it should not take more than a day.

Apparently because news is really slow to get around in some circles:
Komodin passed away back in March, of cancer (which explains why if you haven't seen him around).
Rest in peace, o Sonic Wiki Curator.

My condolences for his family and friends.

RIP, Komo.

Never knew the dude, but that really sucks. It really saddens me when people die young :(
Anyway, sorry I haven't been on all weekend. I had a metric fuckton of work to complete yesterday, in order to b able to go a family reunion today.
So yeah.

Komodin—the Troper herald who warmly welcomed me to the Video Games thread—has passed away?
Damn...
T'was a brief moment knowing him, but I'm thankful to his presence all the same. May he find peace in the afterlife.

One last "meh" for old times sake, huh?
I'm pretty sure Komodin was here for at least as long as I was (So seven years at this point.), hopefully he's free of pain now.

See you around, Swolf. I hope we can still stay in contact offsite.
