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.

They seem to be inactive since July, and their forum activity was in May. Have you tried pinging them?

I'm going to be more absent than usual for the foreseeable future. Things outside here are gearing up (I"m finally in a real relationship, for one), and I've joined a very ambitious Discord project on top of that. I will keep you all as updated as I can (especially ~lalalei2001, as she responded in a thread I created related to said project), but there won't be as much wide-ranging activity 'round here as before.

OK I don't know if this is the place to say this but I am seriously debating taking a break from this site. I feel like my recent contributions have been less than worthwhile, and I have other concerns that I can't effectively talk about as well. Should I take a break, or no?

Due to some ugly drama over at the moderation thread because of a large misunderstanding on my part, I've decided I'll be going on an extended break from TV Tropes. I don't know when I'll be coming back but, it largely depends if my reputation within the community is salvageable after that mishap.

Take care, guys. It's been nice contributing to the site while it lasted.

When I go to Oslo, I might make an attempt to stay off this site for as long as I am there.

I'm going on hiatus. I don't know how long exactly, but at least a month. Recently I blew up in an ATT and I feel horrible about it, and valid points were raised about my tendency to overreact and blow up a lot.

With all this in mind, I will be taking a long break from the site. I don't want to cause any more problems, derail any more threads, or create any more drama. I honestly think it is best that I leave for now, before I really blow up and get suspended or some other horrible thing like that happens that I bring upon myself. I need some time to work through my issues, and once I feel I have significantly moderated my anger I may come back someday. But for now, I need a break. I apologize for all of the many disputes that I started/played a role in. Best of luck to all of you.
