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.

No longer a forum herald
I'm going out of state to visit family in a couple of hours, and thus won't be around for the next few days. I should be back Sunday, barring shenanigans.
(I don't normally make this kind of post, but I kind of needed to notify ~Willbyr about it so he knows why I'm not active in the IP thread I made a couple of days ago.)

Im on a boat
for three days so I will be back then
I'm back, and a few days after what I had originally planned.
For now, at least.

I guess Madrugada is busy with real life?

Yep. She has been for quite a while now. She on very rare occasion pops in to say hello but is rarely on these days.
Who watches the watchmen?
'tis a good question. I remember ~Willbyr saying something about this in the private moderator conversation; asking whether it still applies.

Hi
AFAIK, yes.
(Um, "what" applies, again?)

Well, some shenanigans ensued, delaying me by one day, but I'm back now.

How fleeting...
I'm deciding to give the forums another go after about a year, providing that I actually do post frequently. Mostly because I never got my Herald stuff deactivated and still respond to newbie PM's.
I don’t even know anymore.

HI Explosivo! Or would you prefer E-Scope? I don't believe we've met
How fleeting...
Probably not, but I'm glad you get the reference. So, nice to meet you.
Call me whatever you want. People usually just refer to me as "Explo", but E-Scope works too.
I don’t even know anymore.
Boiiiiiiii, thank God someone I know showed up, almost everyone here is a stranger to me now.
While I'm here I might as well make it known that I'm back as well, in case anybody hadn't noticed.
Konknitive Dissonance
So glad to see you back K, I haven't seen you in what feels like aeons. We need to catch up someday soon.

Eyyyyyy
Zzzzzzzzzz
You know, people, you say my name often enough and I appear...
Yes. I'm back. Real Life was beating the crap out of me, and I simply didn't have the time, energy, or mental or emotional stamina (or a good working computer, either) to even hope to pull my weight here.
You been warned.

My front, too, Fighteer. And my warped sense of humor, and my thumpin' stick.

Welcome back.
She liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiives.
"Team Ken, baby"
Doing stuff for money so I can purchase things sucks except not really. But yeah, my absence has been a long one, and I'll probably continue to be absent a lot.
Stand up against pinkwashing, don't fall for propoganda
I'm very ahead in Na No Wri Mo (10,000 words in two days!) so I might be able to hang around a bit
