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.

Well, shit. Sorry to hear that.

Trans rights are human rights. TV Tropes is not a place for bigotry, cruelty, or dickishness, no matter who or their position.

[up] I think she said apologizing towards her makes her uncomfortable, at least with the "we're sorry" variant.

[up] A good sign the account has been deleted is when the avatar, location, and title are all gone, and all that's left is the relationship status. That's usually a good sign someone deleted their account.

Ah, so I guess that's what Zarastro did, after their last post saying "maybe I should take my opinions elsewhere".

I've been away from the site for a while because I had a lot of things happen in my personal life, including a death in my extended family. I just wanted to say that I am back now.

On a side note, Zuxtron's avatar isn't showing on discussion tabs but it is on the forums.

Is Zuxtron still here, or did they quit? Or is this just another weird glitch in the discussion tab?

Zuxtron's still around, they edited the wiki today.

Pretty sure it's just a glitch, the reviews section also likes to hide avatars.

I don't know what's going on here. He didn't delete his account and his avatar wasn't deleted either.
