Go To

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.

I'll likely be inactive from tomorrow.

Hopefully, just until my room's rearranged. (And if my phone's still working by then.)

In light of recent events, and a general fading interest in TVT in general, I think today will be the day I indefinitely leave this site.

It's been a fun 7-going-on-8 years, but all good things must come to an end, and I don't think I'll be back for a while.

I will move primarily to discord, and to the RYM forums.

Don't be a creep, don't be a dick, and please be mature on these forums.

Goodbye.

@TParadox: Well...


I'll probably be taking a break too. Not that I was the most active person anyway. Alongside the shit happening over the past few weeks, my anxiety's just looked at the other things happening irl right now, decided "hey what if i became worse and fucked this nearly-17-year-old over even more", and did just that.

[My contacts were here but I’ve since removed them for privacy reasons. I’m in Discord servers with most of you guys anyway.]

I'll hopefully be back. But until then, goodnight Tri-State Area.

Just DM me for Discord, Twitter, etc.

I'll be sticking around in T:TS but as for the rest of the forums, I'm out. I will leave you here with some words from a celebrated yogi named Gurmukh.

"May you live in great health, happiness, wholeness. May you come to know your truth, your true identity and find a peace within yourself. May the longtime sun shine upon you, all love surround you, and the pure light within you. Guide your way on and have a beautiful day."
