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.

You want to use {{Curly brackets}} like these when linking to a page whose title is just one word.
So Delibirda would be Tropers/{{Delibirda}} and pinging would be $Tropers/{{Delibirda}}.
You have to get it right the first time though because editing the markup into the post afterwards won't work.
EDIT: Hmm, that's an interesting markup bug, the "~" turning into a "$".

Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.~VXXXN are you out there?
"Listen up, Marina, because this is SUPER important. Whatever you do, don't eat th“ “DON'T EAT WHAT?! Your text box ran out of space!”When I first wanted to make this post, it seemed preemptive then. But the longer I linger here unchecked, the more I realize that I'm either feeling withdrawn, or that it's better that I withdraw myself given my current circumstances.
This is simply a "see you later" message to the "Just for Fun" section of the forums. Not a formal goodbye either since I'll still be online until my final exams are that close. I should be focusing all my energy on that, it seems, but I'm also aware that this site is where I prefer to spend my breaks between study sessions. It's just that there should be more studying and less goofing. So I'll only check on a select few threads in this section, not other quick ones out on a whim (unless it's extremely befitting).
If I should be on this site at all, it would be more productive to make contributions to this wiki; expanding pages, doing cleanups, etc. I've always been interested in being a contributor. I've accumulated lists of future projects on my main pages which gradually grow faster than I can accomplish them, the usual reason being that I say to myself that I've to do more important tasks first, which although is true, a lot of my time is instead spent in leisure while exploring some bits of the site.
It was when an ambition grew towards something on the fun section of the forums, it got rather difficult to complete other tasks in the time I wanted to. I initially thought it'd be just as productive for me to not let my creative writing ability get rusty, but if putting time and energy into a fun activity took from my preparedness for my tests, where'd the fun in that be? I decided to take the initiative to nip that ambition once I got a hint of a waver in my motivation for it, given my more important tasks at hand, before I go considerably downhill and only feel like stopping myself then. This has happened enough times for me to learn from my mistakes now. note
So with that being said, see y'all around, and thanks for being awesome company 👋

Trans rights are human rights. TV Tropes is not a place for bigotry, cruelty, or dickishness, no matter who or their position.~pbskidsfan! Are you there?

Well, they called it off and slated me for next week, so I'm back on duty until then!
