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.

Right... Well...

I'm thinking about leaving the fora for a little while. I got mountains of work piling up and the "E" grade in my Biology module has convinced me that I really need to get my head down and work.

I know that it's hard to leave, but I'll try. Whenever I have a free time when my work load is tiny, I'll pop up and say "Hi" to everyone.

Bye everyone (for a little while).

Crack. smile

See ya around, lovey.

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

I might be taking a leave. It's possible I have a hernia and will have to be hospitalized for a bit so they can perform surgery. At this point I do not know if I have one or not. But if I leave for about 1-3 week(s), then it means I was hospitalized. If I'm gone longer than a month, then something went horribly wrong, and the hernia either ruptured, the surgery went horrible, I got hit by a car, or an evil pots and pans robot killed me.

If you don't come back, I'm assuming it's the last one.

If you do, I'm assuming it was a necromancer too.

You better come back, Lameo. Or I'll take your soul from wherever it ends and revive you. Just to punch you. Because you'd be leaving me alone in here.

Anyway, hope everything goes right, mate.

I'm leaving as well, for a short long indeterminate amount of time.

It's hard to leave, but I need a break. I need... To work, and to socialise.

Adieu!

Crack.

I'll be (intermittently) around. I got distracted from the internet by my novel and a hot blonde. It happens.

I think I'm going to take a leave for a while. I've got loads of shit to fix and I think it's affecting the way I treat people in here. Sorry to anyone I might've offended in the last few days.
