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.

To make something clear I'm not leaving completely, I still have to participate in both The Definition Of Reality and Troperville. Other than those two yes I will be gone.

I'm back, after a rather longer sabbatical than I intended. Miss me?

I'll take that as a no.
Aww, did I hurt your widdle fee-fees?

I'm going to be posting a lot less often, because an important person in my life told me I'm spending too much time at this forum and that it was having a bad influence on me.
We discussed terms of moderation though and in so doing I found out something pretty useful: If you read a few posts BEFORE logging in, you're less likely to say something stupid (usually because you're less likely to say anything at all). So I keep my TV Tropes permissions set to "allow for session."
Currently (on said person's suggestion) I'm going to try for a "only allowed to post on Saturdays" route.
And it just gets better from there!

How is this forum having a bad influence on you?

BACK IS SNAKES
I guess it is.
Oh Yeah?
My access to the internet may go down tonight, because of problems with the server recieving cash here. It should be back up pretty soon, though.
Oh Yeah?
It did indeed go down last night. As I thought, the server completley ignored the last payment it was given. I just did it, they hardly made things easy.

Hmmm, yes 2 days and some that was. Sometimes you just...stumble into a willing hiatus.
What's the frequency Kenneth?|In case of war.

Zyxzy! I was hoping you'd be back.

I think Lucky Revenant said something about it too last night, too. That is, wishing you were here.
