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.

catfish: I know the feeling. Good luck, and don't be afraid to give school all the time it demands; it's important.

I spent a bit too time on Tv Tropes this week, so I just made an addition to my personal rules: I will read and post in here only during the weekends.

So I am not going anywhere, but starting Monday I will not be around as much.

Feel free to call me nasty, nasty names if I go back on my word.

Disregard that, these forums are too interesting and experiment suggest that I do need some time-wasting to be productive for the rest of the day.

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

I love how nobody noticed Blackmoon disappeared.

I wonder if he's in space, possibly having his way with hot alien people.

We couldn't see, because he threw a smoke bomb.

Just wanted to let you know that I'll likely post much less at least until the end of the month due to exams.
