Absent people

Go To

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.

See ya.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

Okay, right, I need to go back to the kind of being absent where I'm not here, as opposed to the kind of absent where I'm here but not setting anyone on fire.

Back in like a week and a half if things go according to keikaku.

Since my temp-ban request was not noticed, I guess I'm still here.

Also, AOD has returned.

I guess I only mentioned it in Updates or something. I requested (or I THOUGHT I did) a temp-ban in order to cure my propensity for spending too much time on the site.

Dunno where it went.

It probably wasn't granted or heard of.
