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.

Question: has ~RamenChef been around recently? Their entry on the TRS Queue is coming up and there's no OP written even though it says to launch.

Not so much absent as "Is X troper Y?" but someone named HMHC posted in the Discussions about moderation thread and those initials appear to be an abbreviation of Heavy Metal Hermit Crab, who deleted their account. Is this the same person, or no?

Another question: what happened to ~Tonwen? Their thread is still in the TRS Queue and I'm wondering if they've been around lately.

I recently heard that Type 40's deleted their account. Was any reason given for the deletion and when exactly did this happen?
