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.

"Shit, our candidate is a psychopath. Better replace him with Newt Gingrich."
Somehow I feel like this has made the forum community stronger.
I'm probably wrong.

Dead? You thought wrong
I was expecting that.
Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.
We should not do that.

@rume - Who needs comics! You are pathetic.
Now if you excuse me, I have 5G+ of manga scans to read.

Re: Cookies: Aww...
Cookies and milk for everyone!
@Flyboy - Technically it's not a valid reference. Utanapishtim is a character in The Epic Of Gilgamesh from whom the titular character seeks the secret of immortality because of his reputation of surviving the great deluge (which was really popular in mythologies in those area).
