Absent people

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.

:(

I think I may need to take a break from this site. Not saying that I will or won't at this point, but I think that the stress over recent events is starting to take its toll on me, coupled with a general feeling of uselessness.

And people still can't spell confidant either. :(

Man, why do the sane people always leave?

<Looks around> Oh. Right.

Yeah, I mean, I mostly just hang out in OTC. You don't see all the shitposting there.

I was under the impression that there are only people whose insanity was just suppressed. tongue

I think we got Deadbeat exasperated.

[up][up][up] That explains why I never go to OTC unless there's an immediate shitstorm.

I can spell confidant, I just usually don't pay attention to the last few letters of your name. It's how people read. The beginning and the end, without paying attention to the middle.

Good luck with that, Dark!

I personally think that an Orchid would fit you better as a flower nickname. cool

I'm sorry, AHR. I've been stressed out these past couple of days, and I'm sort of high-strung and on-edge. I mean no disrespect, and I apologize for lashing out like that.

See, this is why I never say that I'm leaving. Because I'll probably come back, and if I don't, people will notice without me making an announcement.

And if they don't notice, clearly I was in the wrong place to begin with.

Man, why do the sane people always leave?

In my case, it's a lot of stress and feeling constantly on the outside looking in every time I log in. I think if it weren't for my girlfriend and trying to do a couple of projects for this site, I may have already left.
