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've been there, and I understand. Absences are free; take as many as you need. Good luck.

Just popping in right now. Not going to be as active here (provided I have the time that is), given that it's midterms week, so...

Going to be less active this week. I have several deadlines looming. I'll still talk to people via pms, just not on the forums if I can help it.

Gonna be less active for a while. Internet troubles. I'll still post occasionally, however.

Back. Spending a day by myself did the trick, apparently.

...I must have missed my literature class, but how the hell is this irony?

It's not exactly naive. And it can happen. But it's tough. And definetly worthwhile.

After a month with only two days off...

After being told there would not be enough hours to make sure everyone got enough work...

I now find we are once again shorthanded.

Dunno when I'll get a day off. Possibly Monday. Probably almost none this month either.

But soft! What rock through yonder window breaks? It is a brick! And Juliet is out cold.

I'll be away on spring break until around Thursday. Not that I posted much on Yack Fest, but I figure someone from Tabletop might notice.

I'm going to be spending the next two days at my older brother's house, babysitting his kids with my family. I probably won't be back on until late into Sunday.
