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'm back... kind of.

I'm not yet at my grandparents place so my appearances here will be sporadic until then.

I haven't heard from opal6561 since they were suspended on August 9. Have they logged in since then?

If it's his fourth suspension it may have been a bounce. I'd like mods to confirm it.

I don't think opal6561 is suspended from what I searched from his post. Not sure if he did or not.

OK, so you know those family issues I mentioned a few weeks ago and how I may take a break from this site because of them? That break starts now. It's just...going to take a while for me to get over what happened.

Goodbye for now

Anyone know what happened to bitemytail? They haven't been active in a while.

Still lurking, and just not posting or editing. And regarding opal's suspension, he wasn't bounced, and just hasn't shown up in Edit Banned. Just suspended from the wiki, queries, and the forums.

Edit: And if anyone's wondering why I've been less active, it's not due to the usual culprit of health problems, since my blood pressure's under control as of the end of last month, and the asthma issues I mentioned having earlier this month have been resolved. I just got kind of burned out, so my mod activity's been more sporadic, but I've been posting off and on in an unofficial capacity, and I've still handled custom titles and Cut List requests from time to time. (There's been less mod activity in general, and while that's a factor in why we've gone forward with recruiting new mods, as mentioned in this post, we've discussed that off and on earlier this year as well.)

Also just to know that the some suspendees on the Edit banned thread has been waiting for 2 weeks. Pray Gaston in your absence you need the other mods to know about this.
