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.

@Justice: Nah, I just meant that I wasn't really around yesterday. I was hanging out with a couple of buds and talking shit.

Surely you understand why it was so important, right? :p

I'm going to a camp for 5 days tomorrow.

Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.

Well, I'm moving back into my house tomorrow (yay) but there's a bit of a hitch coming with it: Thanks to Time Warner's wonky appointment system, we won't have their services for a week.

Their services, of course, being our cable television, our phones, and OUR INTERNET.

So thanks to them, I will be away until they come next Sunday.

Don't you just love cable companies?

Not leaving yet, but I just figured I'd repost this so you guys won't think I died or anything.

oh, that's why I need this binary mind //

So, basically I feel I've been spending too much time on the computer recently. And this site has been responsible for a lot of that. It's very easy just to spend a whole day on here and not even realise how much time has gone past. And while it is fun talking to a lot of you guys, it also means I'm doing less reading and writing and things, and generally being less productive. And seeing how I'm probably studying English at uni, I really do need to be doing those things — and it's best that I try to get off the computer more now than to try and do it when I'm already at university. To do that, I think I need to stop myself going on this site in particular. And, while big stupid 'goodbye lol' posts aren't normally my style, if I make this one I have to keep my word. Or look even more stupid than this makes me. So, yeah.

If you fancy keeping in contact with me, PM me and I'll see what I can do.

I'll try not to die in the riots or anything.

And have one last RX Bandits song, because it's not like me to go out without more incessant music pimping. Godspeed.
