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.

Hmm...whose quit/ban will be a definitive Wham Episode for this site?

um...alex's head?
I don't need your help for that. With a little coaxing from Furiko, he'll give it willingly.

@d Roy: No clue. I guess I'll know it when it happens.
...Why the hell am I still here? I should have gone back to my happy place by now. :P

The Wham episode will be all of the mods quitting at once to go to Heapers.
I'm sticking around until there's no one left, too.

I think this has been a sad day for TV Tropes all around.

Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.
Faith in the self.
Eddie being banned by Eddie himself would be a big twist.
but anyway, yeah, i wanted to say, that if I don't come back (pfffft, right), that it was a great pleasure to talk to some of you. Others, made me want to murder and kill like there was no tomorrow. Some of you made me realize more things about myself than my therapist or meditation ever did. And there's at least one of you who just made me think that I'm not as dumb as I think I am. Until I stopped doing drugs and being so suggestible. :P
but...what I mean to say is...well, it was something, alright.
Peace, be seeing you. At least, those who I want to see. As for the rest of you, well...I wish you the best.

I think this has been a sad couple of fucking months. Nobody's happy about how this is playing out...not the mods, and not the users. You'd think that this would encourage cooperation, but somehow it is only encouraging more of the same problems.

The Beta Male
I'm pretty sure Blixty hated my guts, but seeing him go is a bit like watching Hostess go bankrupt; it's been there for so long, it just feels strange when it's not there anymore. :(

As silly as it may be, I still have some hope left for this place.

At this point, the three groups (those trying to change things, the staff and those who don't want change, and those who don't give a damn) are like two tectonic plates and a clueless city under which the plates sit...

@Flyboy: That's not a bad analogy, but I'd go with nitroglycerin, a paint shaker and some dumbass who likes fiddling with the switch.
EDIT: I'll let y'all assign the roles.
