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.

Oh, and for those of you who remember me saying I'm twenty-six right now... the twenty-seventh year of your life ends on your twenty-seventh birthday, the same way the first year of your life ended when you turned one.

Ok, let's try again.

Lately I have been spending far too much time procrastinating over the Internet, so I will try to cut that back a lot. I will still be here occasionally, but I plan to visit and post much less frequently than I did so far.

Bye!

^ If I knew what Palmerton meant, I'd make that my signature.

I figured, but that doesn't make a very interesting quote. In any event, I just changed my sig so I'm not changing it again soon anyway.

Change "Palmerton" to "Ohio".

Also we're nearing 2500 posts.

But if I change the words, it's not really a quote anymore! I'd have to do that thing shady news sources do with the brackets:

"The web is my window to the outside world, and I really don't enjoy being trapped in [Ohio and totally not Palmerton]."

Ooh internet addictions. I had to cull my World Of Warcraft addiction. I finally did. What i see is you can be a troper in moderation. If it doesnt work, have your loved one cut the interenet cable after 2 hours on it :P
