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.

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

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerI 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.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerSee, 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.

If I were to write some of the strange things that come under my eyes they would not be believed. ~Cora M. Strayer~I'm still here...
Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

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.
