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.

[up]No, but they did delete their avatar earlier this year, so that's why their avatar reverted to the default.

Ok, so after some thinking over, I'll be on hiatus from TLP because trying to balance out my TLP work and my university studies didn't turn out well and only causes a lot of stress. The earliest I can get back to full-time TLP work is Xmas break, so until then, my activity on TV Tropes will be relegated to low-key editing and forum posting.

Good luck. I've experienced burnout in the past, so taking steps to avoid it makes sense and I agree with the decision to do that.

[up]They've been online fairly recently, but just haven't edited or posted in over a year.

That's not uncommon. I've noticed that there are a lot of people who still use their accounts to lurk despite no longer editing or posting.

Is it OK to ask if Immi Thrax is still around?

I know they said they are no longer active, so I'm not pinging them, but I do hope naturalironist is doing OK out there.

I may lurk here, but I won't post for a while. Why? Simple. I am recovering from a cold, and in addition, I have had a low mood for a while. I currently see little reason to be here.

(As always, no replies, please. Don't wanna get curious.)

Edit: I am just gonna be somewhat active. Don’t expect to see me much.
