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.

Thumped: for switching the discussion from the topic to a person. Doesn't take many of this kind of thump to bring a suspension. Stay on the topic, not the people in the discussion.

[up]Come on, don't be like that. We're all stirred up here but you're only making it worse.

[up][up]TWW, if you want to leave, go. If you want to stay, stop making a fool of yourself. If you want to be permanently banned, keep it up, because that's where you're going and there won't be any begging to be let back in.

Just a reminder that the discussion here is still ongoing and we're still open to people who want to talk about these things, constructively. Stop by if you want to share your peace, as long as you're willing to do it calmly.

Ah screw it. I'm taking a leave of absence from these forums, maybe temporary, maybe permanent. They've just been stressing me out way too much lately. You know where to find me.

[up] I wouldn't know.

Meanwhile, I'm back once again. I guess I should stop saying I'm taking a break and then come back not too long afterwards. I should just slowly drift away from this site without much comment next time.

If I find myself feeling stressed or panicked, then I just won't say anything and calm down for a bit before speaking. That's what I'm gonna try and do around here from now on.

I should have mentioned this yesterday or Monday, but I'm in Texas and currently having power issues. I'm also having issues with my phone's battery and I will be posting inconsistently for the next few days, since power is screwed until then.

Between my job actually giving me a lot of hours, and a newly acquired gaming laptop, I haven't been posting much. I'll still drop in from time to time, I just have less free time, and a truly horrific Steam backlog that needs addressing.tongue

Whatever happened to Delphine The Delphox? I checked their troper page, and it was cutlisted as bounced. I checked their last activities, and they were suspended from TLP last September, and never came back. The only thing mentioned I know of was maybe they did an oopsie probably before the 5T, but their reasons of their bounce unknown.

Unless they ban evaded or did an oopsie outside the site, what happened?

They made another account with the intent to troll. This was not directly related to their suspension as far as we know but it was the last straw.

What about Julian Lapostat? They were permanently suspended as far as I know, but their troper page is deleted as well.

Unless they also made sockpuppets.

I don't think it's necessary to ask for every troper who has been terminally suspended. If a troper is permabanned and their page is cut, then it's almost always because they resorted to any of the very worst offenses, including ban evasion.

Dunno. Their last activities were editing their and other troper's Troper Walls last February and participating on Forum Games early this March.

I hope they're safe and well though, and perhaps they would participate more in editing Trope pages as well, such as the Equestria Girls pages.
