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.

Fighteer, the website was used to stage an attack on me! TV Tropes must come to my defense!

No not really.

Well, I wouldn't assume they'd all get banned just for being tropers.

No, I meant banned from here. As in "TV Tropes can't handle my awesomeness, so I'll go get some respect at SA." Lots of Goon-Tropers went to SA because they didn't like how this site was being run and/or got tossed out, but there are lots of others who don't have a problem with either site.

I've gotten word that some people on SA think we're too forgiving of abjectly horrible people.

The people who think that are the people we forgive the most. -_-

[up][up]To be fair, that's a relic from when the creepier parts/people of the site still ran rampant. At one point, I'd say we were. It's much better under control now. Maybe not totally under control or, shall we say, bleached, but we're getting better all the time. Can't get no worse.

Honestly, it's not even like it's the whole site that's against us like some twisted Sitcom Arch-Nemesis. It was really only a vocal minority, and the rest of them seem to react to this site in the same way as the rest of the internet, with indifference, interest, or dislike depending on the person. Either way, I figure if one can't take some ribbing from total strangers, one should not be using the social parts of the internet. You just need to not let it bother you, and, perhaps, even see if some of the criticisms of the other party might actually be founded and learn and improve from them.

Elvis did die on the crapper. Besides that is a guy about to shoot his computer.

Ok that makes more sense.

He was a musician, so I obviously know that too.

He served in the U.S. army over seas and one was one of many actors and musicians to do so.

He is famous for his take on rock n roll. He had an incredible fan base that is still strong today. Has an estate called Graceland. He got chubby in his late years and was a drug addict.

His music was considered scandalous at the time.
