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:
- People announcing their departure or return.
- Moderators announcing a significant forum ban — not trolls or vandals, but someone people will notice and miss.
- Inquiries about an absent troper.
- Responses to inquiries about an absent troper.

Well, that's too bad. I've agreed with Cygan's points at many times. But... life hits you like that. Although following Annebeeche's style... eh.
Anyway, nice to see you back, Whale. -hugs-

I miss Anne. ;_;
Even though I talk to her every day, but w/e

No, more what you specifically said bothered me. I have many of my own personal thoughts, but I'm keeping them to myself as they would do no good.
Eh. How's Quest 64 going? 
They think me mad
I haven't really seen Cygan make any posts that should be banworthy. Unless she directly asked for a ban and was given in on that grounds, banning her seems pretty unjustified.

I know, but still. It was kind of nice to know that whenever I'd say stupid shit she'd come around and be all, why you be saying such stupid shit? ;_;

I'm still not sure why Blixty cracked, even after reading his posts. Can anyone summarize it for me, if it isn't too much of a problem?
In a completely un-serious note, I won't be posting for 4 or 5 days. I'm trying to make a policy of not using the internet during the weekdays.

Insofar as I can tell, Blixty didn't like the moderation here anymore, and so he decided to leave.
Dramatically.
Oh bullshit, nevermind.
~shrug~
He just wanted to stop wasting time on TV Tropes, and wanted to make sure he didn't come back in a short time...

@d Roy: I'm guessing mad about bans. But I think he wants to keep that between him and the staff, from what I gathered, so that's all theory, and probably not worth saying.
@Firebert: I welcome you back to the other topic. Yeah, love the game.

Merlocollie has apparently decided to leave

Dead? You thought wrong
Dang, I really liked her.
Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.

I'm beginning to agree with TP. The quits are more depressing than the bans.

Ugh. I can't take it anymore.
WHEN WILL IT END? ;_;

It's saddening, although not really surprising,

I think it would be a Wham Episode for this site if one of the mods quit.

No, it would be a ridiculous shitstorm if one of the mods was demodded forcefully.

Been reading this thread for several pages. Seeing everyone leaving kind of makes me want to as well. -insert overused comment about how TV Tropes isn't what it used to be-

@Game Spazzer,
Ain't that the truth.

Apparently Blixty's rant was fake, and just done to get banned. A good portion of what was said was still valid though.

Really? Cygan seemed fairly clear cut to me. I could usually tell what her position would be. Or at least, how badly I would clash with her.
Am I bad person for being surprised Blixty didn't crack earlier?
