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.

Just a heads up; tomorrow I'm catching a flight back home so I'll be absent for a little while.

I'm back.

Being on the forums still kinda pisses me off right now so expect me to still post a bit less than I did before. Hopefully looking at random people's posts won't make me angry for no reason...

Guys how cool would it be if Super Megaforce had a green ranger...

And now something terrible has happened to my computer. This week literally cannot get any worse. And so, because I’m in a really, really bad place, I’m taking another break from the website. I don’t know when I’ll be back. My PM box is always open if you want to talk to me.

Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!

I'm gonna be taking a bit of a break myself, effective from… probably around midnight in South Africa.
When I'll return, I don't know, but I will return.

Just letting you be aware that my university term will start soon in September. While I'll still be active, my hours on this site will be reduced as a result of studying.

Might as well mention that college starts for me in a week as well. I'll probably still be active, but I don't think quite as much as before.
