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.

Well, since that will render your laptop a rather expensive paperweight, don't you expect that they'll buy an OS at that point?

If you see me frequenting this forum less, it's because of school.

I'll try and get both the Berserk and Eva liveblog done, but that's no promise :'C

I suggest you go for http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and although it'll take a while, at least you'll eventually be able to get your laptop back.

Good luck, Schitzo.

You're looking for this person.

You're going to have to work around that, then.

You are late, Noimporta I founded the Church of Tzetze, months ago.

I want to apologize.

"Indefinite hiatus" probably made it sound like I'd be gone for longer than three days. Things have gotten much better since then, so I'm dipping my toes into the pool again.

I hope I didn't get anybody too worked up—it definitely wasn't my intention to just draw attention to myself by pretending to leave... I think I'm still going to be around less often than I was. So.

Ten points to anybody who caught me changing my avatar while I was gone from the forums, redeemable for a ship with someone you didn't want to be shipped with in the first place.

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

I'm sorry. Yes, I'll go to that room labeled "Self-Flagellation Chamber" over there...

Only saw you now, vandro.
