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.

Locking you up on radar since '09I'll be out of touch until the 16th due to a Holiday in Germany, which is a much-needed holiday.
Anyway, sorry about my lack of posting recently, things have been a bit hectic recently - but when I get back, I've got some posting to do, and a few ideas to catch up on, including:
- Let's Watch: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Striker S - from a Nanoha fan that hasn't watched anything other Nanoha (yet)
- A few other things that come to mind when I think of them...
This is a post for Solstace, who is unable to post here at this time.
When everything dies down, I will be shutting myself in my writing thread again, since that's the one thing I probably shouldn't leave alone. I think it would be the right thing for me to leave everyone alone.
More clarification: Been under several sources of emotional stress and got several kinds of very, very stupid in the last few days. Putting a stop to that, and I apologize.

This is Black Humor.
Some weird stuff is happening involving me getting redirected to Google so I'm probably not going to be anywhere except Ask The Tropers for the next few days.
Also, if anyone was wondering where I was, that's your answer.
Hey, that happened to Att Obl 27 too. You might want to ask Eddie.

Ecstasy is Sustained IntensityHuh. Seems like I had picked a lovely time to abandon this place for anywhere from a week to a few months. BACK TO MY CAVE. I'll probably show up on #yackfest every now and again and will be pestering certain people for email addresses maybe. If you wish you may pester me about my email address, but be forewarned that I may not give it to you. Please do so today. After today I won't be looking at this site at all.
