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.

Well, the other two clearly did, as Best Of noted. No idea if Raineh did. Not that it matters anyway.

Anyway, I need to eventually log on to one of my other accounts to upload all the Quest 64 images. Mainly for the roleplay I plan to run. XD

Not that it's any of anyone else's business, but no, Raineh didn't appeal.

And even if we ever had felt like negotiating, if you ban evade you're out. That's it. Don't bother trying to appeal after that.

Just to clarify our position on ban evasion:

If we discover that someone who has been banned from doing something (like posting in the fora or in a particular subforum, using YKTTW, sending PMs, editing the Wiki, etc) has used another handle to do those things while the ban was still active on the main handle (or any other handle of that person) we'll impose a full range of bans on all of the handles used by that person.

This has always been the case, but since some of you might not have known this I might as well say it here.

It seems rather obvious. If you choose to ban evade, it's pretty obvious that you don't give two hoots about the rules, and should be punished accordingly.

Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

I'm not going to be here nearly as often anymore. The time I used to have for this site is now spent in class and on homework. It's going to be even more rare when I post now.

Most of those pages have been totally off-topic, too!

I'd say 90% of this thread has been offtopic, really.

Which would be fine if this wasn't one of the threads where people expect/need it to stay on topic.

Oh, by the way, hi Noa.

I picked a random page to go back to recently, and for some reason it was an entire page of binary chatter, so yes, it's still bad.

Somebody woke up cranky today. This is Yack Fest. On-topicness is not guaranteed. Getting all worked up over it is really... stupid.

I don't see how that makes me cranky, or rude. I'm not even mad about it; just pointing out my opinion. Am I not allowed to do that?

Indigo12ash posted this on the LGBT thread:

I'll be back when I don't have stupid questions, am not sleep-deprived and something nice to say.

Which the chances of that are slim to none.

Goodbye.

I still speak to her on Face Book whenever I can, so if you want to pass on a message to her, let me know.

Oh look, an absent person. Focus on that, thread, while I talk to Kay over PM's.

By the way? She didn't have any problem with what I said. c:
