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.

If Eddie leaves, that pretty much means the death of this site, doesn't it?

Right, this.
Besides, I owe tvtropes a lot. I'm not leaving it.

@cute - Now that's a one big Crowning Post of Heartwarming. 
I don't think I would have seriously considered being a writer if I never came across TV Tropes.

For that, Cutman.
Well, shit. I'm honestly sorry to see Spain Sun/Blix and Cygan leave. I guess I didn't know them very well, but the little I did talk to them I genuinely enjoyed their company.
If you decide to stay away, see you around Juan. I always enjoyed your company and really wanted to take some time to get know you better. I suppose I don't know you well enough to call you a friend, but I wanted to be able to eventually call you one, as you were always fun to talk to. I guess I'll join IJBM or Heapers Hangout just to talk to you if you stay away.

I tried to go to sleep earlier and decided to stay up and I get all this. O_O
Well, I aint going nowhere. This is my site. I don't own it but I think of it as mine anyway. I will work to keep it strong and healthy. Sure we've hit a snag, but everybody gets the chicken pox and recovers. I will fight to the last post in the last thread in the last forum if I have to. My site. Mine.

You know, I wish Karalora was around more. I never really appreciated how entertaining it was to debate in a thread with her (whether on the same side or not) until she wasn't around for a really long time... :/

I think we all know this feel, at this very moment, as we see people bailing left and right.
I miss when people left because of real life problems or just getting bored...

Be seeing you, Juan.
