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.

That's a good question.
I haven't seen him in a long time.

That sucks, Light. Good luck with it.
(I don't suppose it's worth pointing out to them that you're on the internet and, I'm assuming, not a creep, and therefore one can expect that others on the net are not creeps...)

Most people on the internet are exactly like the people you in real life. Mostly because they are.
Granted, GIFT does apply, but it's easy to avoid those people.

Does anyone know what happened to Telcontar?

That's a good question and I don't know the answer.

Saiga is going to be out for a couple days. Can't really use the internet right now.
But now he can!

Apparently his heart stopped between the times listed…
That's all I'm allowed to know, apparently.

Well, my condolences to those whom it concerns. (Uh, did I phrase that properly? English isn't my native language.)

The Vagrant
If I ever become inactive for more than two weeks without giving any reason why beforehand, expect me to never return here.
Creator of the Avatar Arena and its Discord server.
Sorry to hear what happened to Shane, Ellen. My condolences.
*Vague plotting intensifies*
If I ever just stop posting or disappear, I will probably start up again late summer 2017, but it has a low chance of happening at any time.
My new plan is so secret that even I cannot understand its full scope!
(raises shot) Here's to Shane. Never knew him, but a fellow troper passing is never a good thing. May he index the afterlife.
(raises shot again) For the ones above, and the ones below.
bored
I think that I'm going to leave for a few days. A week tops, probably less (small willpower and all). Actually, this is very hard for me, but it's for the best. I just don't feel like posting for awhile because I kinda feel like a jerk right now. Nobody did anything wrong and nobody will know why I feel like a jerk, I just think that I need to stop posting for a bit. I probably won't even want to tell you all why I'm leaving. I might lurk, but I won`t be posting. I'll see everyone in a few days.
That is all...
Our Favorite Cowgirl, er, Mare
I miss you already, Light. :( I hope your break passes by soon.
I like to keep my audience riveted.
*Vague plotting intensifies*
I have gotten less and less active, and after some thought, I've decided to more or less leave for a while. It might be only three weeks, or it may be until Christmas. I might post every now and then, or edit the odd page, but I no longer (if I ever did) have the time to dedicate to a forum, no matter how amazing the people are or fun it is Roleplaying or talking about puppers and kets. But I will be back eventually, a larger ham than ever!
My new plan is so secret that even I cannot understand its full scope!
I'm back from being obsessed with Fallout: New Vegas.
Officially intimidated
My condolences to Shane's family and friends, including Ellen.
This comes admittedly late because I wasn't here until now.

Man, that sucks. I hope the best for you.
