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.

That sounds like my trip to Montreal.

My hostel had a bar in the basement.

One of the bartenders and I had a sort of a thing.

Most of that thing was "she gave me free drinks and we talked a lot." There was supposed to be a date, but she got called in to work that night.

But seriously. So many free drinks. I think I had around 25-30 drinks in that bar over three nights she worked while I was visiting Montreal.

I paid for five and a half drinks.[lol]

It was not subtle on either of our parts, at any point.tongue

Since when do guy get free drinks?! Life is just not fair anymore! Well, I at least can console myself with the thought that you didn't get any action! xD

... And now for the truth. That's how it actually went: Got my ass kicked, nearly pissed my panties when I saw that one horror movie, puked at a horrible party and was just pathetic in general. ;__;

Kay: Guys get free drinks when the first conversation with the bartender goes as follows:

Her: [speaks French to a girl from France at the bar; looks at me] "You don't speak French very well, do you?"
Me: "Uh... not so much, no. I caught about one word in ten of that."
Her: "Ah. Well then. I was just telling her how I think more cute Western boys like yourself should come to Montreal and stay longer. In my bar."

And now you know why I got free drinks.[lol]

I said I will be busy with preparing for college so I will be mostly absent mostly and only post in College thread, but I seem to have a lot more time than I expected. Cool.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

What happened to Kaiser Mazoku and A Groupie?

A Groupie was banned for saying stuff like this, despite repeated warnings:

Personally, I wouldn't be sad to see the entire anime side of the site gone. It seems to be what attracts our very worst editors and the stuff that makes us look the worst. Seriously, do we see people perving and being lewd and pedo-pandering in the Live-Action TV or Film sections? Hell, even the music section even before it was cleaned up didn't have THAT much crap. Couldn't we somehow jettison Anime And Manga like we did Troper Tales and Fetish Fuel?

Kaizer Masoku hasn't been banned or anything.

I wouldn't object to merging the aforesaid sections with Comic Books and Animation...

A merger would make some sense. :o I mean, there isn't a "British TV Series" section or an "Argentinian Literature" section. :p Still, I dunno if anyone else would like that merger. :o

There was a Wiki Talk thread on that. The answer was "No".

"Anime and Manga" communicates meaningful information. While tropes are universal, different cultures are more prone to some tropes than others, and there is a meaningful correlation of tropes when it pertains to anime and manga that doesn't hold for other mediums.

So, yeah. It is what it is.
