Go To

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 saw his posts around every so often. He seemed like a friendly face and very personable. Terribly sad he had to go so soon.

I never really knew him, but from what I can see he did good work around here and was a beloved member of our community. May he rest in peace.

Dude, what? sad

R.I.P Komodin. We'll miss you.

One last "meh" for old times sake, huh?

Amen.

I am going to be gone for an unknown amount of time due to having to go to Johannesburg on account of visiting my grandfather in hospital.

At best, if I don't choose to stay there longer, I should be back by Monday. If the worst happens...I don't know.

If...If I decide to stay there -which I have a very likely chance of doing- I probably won't be able to post regularly for months until I get back home due to phone data issues.

I'm terribly sorry to hear that. :( -hugs- I hope you'll still be well in the meantime.

Well, the plan to leave was cancelled upon finding out that my grandfather was not quite as bad as we thought. In fact, he's being discharged today!

I will still be gone from next week Sunday until the end of June on account of still going up for a visit.

School's done for now, so I'm back for now.

I'm so sad to hear about Komodin's passing. May he rest in peace and may God bless him and his loved ones.

I'm quitting the fora.

I've spent too many years here, compulsively clicking the refresh button on my watchlist like pulling the arm of a slot machine. Seems like everyone I knew is gone, I don't feel as welcome as I used to, and I don't think that my life is ever going to change as long as I stay.

I've already snipped off my threads so it won't really be worth the time to add them all back. Anybody who still wants to talk to me, my Facebook is Kalani Aquino (the one in Texas) or my Skype is joseph.aquino73.

Well fora...it's been fun. I'll keep my troper page up because it's a reference for myself, but as for the threads...

Good night, everybody.

It's been great talking to you, Keybreak! I wish you the best and I hope the next stage of your life goes wonderfully!

I myself am back on the forums, but I won't be nearly as active as I used to be. A few times a week, at most. I love the people and environment here, so I want to stay a part of it, but I have a lot of other things to work on.

I'm sad to see you go, Keybreak. I know full well the compulsion of clicking Refresh over and over, hoping for someone to post in a conversation.

Jeez, feels like everyone I knew from the fora is gone or leaving, lol. So long, Keybreak.

On the forum, the tropers come and go,

To the approximately 3 people this will concern, I will be going to Ohio with my mother for 2 weeks. Of the several locations we will stay in, only one of them will have Internet access. So, expect me to be absent for extended periods of time.
