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.

In a thread outside of the Arena Spinoff of which I never go to.
~Saiga: Pulse is banned as of mid-December, having broken the policy on threats of suicide. Fighteer's post on the matter in Insecurites
says
i'm working on getting some real life things in order (nothing serious or vital, just planning for future success) and tvt + its troper Skype chats is taking a huge amount of my time, which reall should be spent working on various things (one of which, ironically enough, is the first act of my own game's reboot) but i'm going to be lying low for a few days. shouldn't be gone too long, just need a breather.
[forum cryptid: it/it's]Okay, so... if you have been paying attention I haven't been appearing in as many threads now as I used to. There is a reason for this, it's because I took some time off a while back and currently I am likely to just plain have less time in general. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I am likely to remove several threads from my watchlist in the coming days.
You see.... I am in college now. Before taking that time off it took me an hour and half, minimum, to check all those threads in my Watchlist that had updated every time I awakened each morning. It's very likely that if I tried that now it would take me the entire rest of the day. Spending that much time on this site when I don't even comment on all the threads I follow is, to be honest, completely unnaceptable.
I won't dissapear entirely but you won't see me posting as often or as in many varied topics as earlier.
I will still, as always, be reachable through PM though.
"Please crush me with your heels Esdeath-sama!My Wi Fi got cut out and might not be back until Wednesday or so, so if anyone's wondering where I am, here's their answer.
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone elseGoing to run out of this month's bandwidth very soon, and be absent from the internet in general for some unknown amount of time as a result. This Is Gonna Suck.

Hard to explain and to express, forever just a work in progress (he/they)Why, thank you all.
@Parable - Phfffff
@Ultimatum - Oh, very very difficult and I don't think I even managed to keep half of what I decided to abstain from. At least I managed to stay out of TV Tropes for the most part.
Thank God it's not mandatory.
Right now I am on vacation. Typing this from a phone
I really needed a vacation tbh. College work and my homelife was running me through a wringer. My depression was starting to pop back up too and that never goes well for me.
BTW has anyone seen Princess Gwen as of recent? I miss my leather jacket buddy
I'm going to be on hiatus until late May. I've got some serious academic business and personal ambitions to take care of. I'll probably drop in a few times, especially during spring break later this month, but right now I have some research to conduct, a thesis to draft, and query letters to send to book publishers. -ready face-
I've determined that I can no longer do this. I don't know when/if I'll be back.
This is a signature.
