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.

...everytime you leave, you masturbate...? Wait no that's not how logic works.

Thanks for your edits to Childhoods End by the way because LUCKY WOULDN'T DO IT.

Oh, oh, oh, I just got it, Anemo.

Sorry, I don't always parse puns. If I did, a lot more of my friends would come to harm more often.

Whoa, that is Insane Troll Logic. I thought the meme was voting for Bush. I don't vote for Bush every time I leave, either.

Anyways, as for the whole Spain/Daze/Helena/Bug thingie: Good luck, and thank you for owning up.

@Tzetze: Actually it was just a ploy to get someone else to start it because I was too lazy.

The meme was masturbation and it had a picture of Domo-kun attacking a kitty.

The only potentially helpful words I have is to wait a day and see if you still feel this way.

Srsly though, don't bugger off just because a couple people hate you. If you're holding out for universal popularity, you're gonna be waiting for a long, long time, my friend.

Spain, just because a few vocal people have said they don't like you doesn't mean that the rest of us don't. The opinion of a Vocal Minority is rarely the same as the opinion of the majority.

People getting annoyed at you isn't the same as people disliking you.

On the other hand, I fear that you're not at this time capable of feeling the difference, which I regret.

I know that a few people hold feelings about me that I wish were much different, but being disliked is something no one can be free of. We are not divided inot the haters and the hated. We've all been the former, even if just for a short time, and we are all the latter, all the time. Letting that state effect you taken to its logical extent will really hurt one socially; it is not worth it.

Nobody likes being disliked. The important thing is not to let it get to you. Hiding away from the world won't make anybody like you more, and it deprives potential friends of the chance to even get to know you.

Probably gonna take a break from the wiki 'til the end of the week. So much to do! That and I REALLY need to stop staying up until I'm sleepy only because my brain's fried from the internet.

Ta!
