Go To

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.

Hello, all! I'm Motor-Runner/Shadow Bender, call me Motor or Shade or a portmanteau of Motor and Shade.

This site helped me alot for some reasons that Cute said, but lately (apart from Forum Games and the wiki itself) I've been trying to find my place in the forum as a whole. I'd also been feeling out-of-place lately.

That probably doesn't describe much, but I'm going to drastically reduce my posting. I'll still check in occasionally and to do Forum Games Herald stuff, but I need to sort out myself. Thanks to my OCD, I'll probably click on every item in my watchlist and every PM, but my presence won't be felt so much.

RL stuff.

Okay, Cygan and Blixty's bans may be debateable, but there is no good reason for that.

Friendliness and civility. I see none of that in her branding and booting.

I already PM'd Bobby about it. No response yet.

Also, seems I'm back already.

I can kind of see how that can be misconstrued, but nowhere near skull-fuck worthy.

She hadn't even bad-mouthed the site, for crying out loud!

She didn't, but if one was sufficiently thin-skinned one might believe otherwise.

-pats Zersk- I saw most of what happened, sadly so.

Except when I was at work, so I couldn't see the troll posts of Yeah Bro's latest account. But anyway, yeah, bad day and all.
