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.

...well, that turned out to be quicker than I thought.

Still, like I said to many people through P Ms, I think I'm gonna go and mostly lurk and pop out ocassionaly when needed or referred to.

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

Well, okay then. Still, I hope everything is better now.

The thing about making witty signature lines is that it first needs to actually be witty.

I've barely had internet for the past week.

I've kinda enjoyed my absence, so if I can I'm gonna try to keep being absent. We'll see how long this lasts.

@Lucky: Good luck with that and hope it turns out OK.

Just got a PS 3 and Bioshock (amongst other games) and it's sapped my wanting-to-post-here-ness, so I probably won't be back for a while, and even then not very much. I know most of you couldn't care less LOL but I figured notifying you was probably the polite thing to do.

Peace.

I guess I'm back, but I'm only really going to post in Updates and my writing thread for a while (hopefully)

A week and a bit from now I'll be on a plane bound for the US, where I'll be staying for a week. Specifically, I'll spend a few nights in Washington D.C., and the remainder in New York City. I'm really excited about it, and I think it's going to be great (not least because of all the flights). However, I will not have access to this site during my stay, which means I'll be off the airwaves for that period of time.

So if anyone comes asking where I've went (yeah, right), direct 'em here. Thank you. smile

Britain. Scotland, to be specific. We'll have to hop to London first, though.

Thanks guys. And actually I don't know if I'm really here in the flesh. You might have to test that out.

Cheers, Nathaniel.

By the way, I'll probably write up a mega-post detailing what I did and such during each day if I remember to jot down what happened.
