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.

he was banned? What? I think he just. Left.

Yeah, Tendo was going through some serious emotional problems, and I think he eventually just left the community.
Read my stories!
He's not banned in any way.

While we're missing people, I miss Stolen By Faeries. She was a great member of the community.

I think she's my friend on Facebook. I should say hi to her once in a while.
And this is why it's awesome having old tropers as friends on Facebook.
She still posts. Her last post is yesterday.

I know, right?
Well, I haven't seen her in a while. So, I guess I'm just saying that I missed her. :(
-apologizes, quite embarrassed-
Now you know. Stalking people is the smart thing to do in these situations.

Probably the same people that like Taking Back Sunday. Geeze.
God I hate that Cute kid. Good riddance. Next time we see him, we should burn his steak. I mean, burn him at the stake.
Mmmm. Steak. :D
Hi Santa. Isn't it a bit too hot for you at this time? I mean, Christmas is far away, dude.

Haven't you heard of Christmas in July?
(And it's winter somewhere...)
Sheesh I leave for 9 wks 4 days of BCT and all hell breaks loose here. Whiskey-tango-foxtrot, man.
See, Dark wants Cute dead. That's one vote.
And Lu. It is my vacation. Can an elf not get some action down in Malibu? I mean, I'm not always breaking and entering childrens homes...
I didn't say that. I just said that I like steak. Especially with BBQ sauce.

i don't wanna die ):
Banned, I think.
