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.

I hope I haven't asked this already and forgot it,note  but what became of Best Of?

No wiki edits since 2015 and no forum edits since 2018, though there's still the little "MOD" flag near their name...

[up][up]I think one of the longtime mods said he was busy with offsite stuff (I don't know the details because he became inactive well before I became a mod, and I don't remember where this was said), but either way, he was last online a few years ago. The "MOD" tag is still there because he didn't resign from the position; he just became less active.

Question: what happened to Triple Elation? Their troper page was cut with the reason "SA traitor" and it appears to have been Eddie who deleted the page. Were they connected to the SA raid at all, and that's what happened?

^ He was banned for being for being on P5 circuit + being SA regular who criticized TVT on that forum. It was announced on this thread years ago. Here's a summary of that ban and the other bans that came after that one. You can also back read the previous pages if you want.

Oh my, I've just read the mentioned posts. sad

That time was a mess, but... You do realize a ban for "leaving the moderation team in a huff and bashing the site on a rival forum" really doesn't make the team look good, right?

[down]&[down][down] Okay.

If someone went to Site A to badmouth Site B, it'd be awkward for Site B to keep them around.

... Can we stop talking about this issue? It's been almost 11 years, anyway.

[up][up] As MFE said, it’s been 11 years, and the site was totally different back then. I think we can just drop it.

Has anyone seen Chloe Jessica? I haven't seen her in quite a while. I'm starting to get worried.

I wonder what happened to Raspy Mink and Twentington. I remember they were very active when I first joined in 2017 (God, I can't believe I've been on here for that long.)

[up] Twentington rage quit and got bounced for vandalism IIRC.

[up][up]I know, I miss Raspy Mink too. :(

I just remembered these two yesterday. There are a couple of other tropers I miss and who made this place more fun thanks to their sweet and upbeat natures: nekoalexa and Elisabel.

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

  • Chloe Jessica's been online recently, and last posted two days ago.
  • Raspy Mink hasn't been online since 2019.
  • Twentington was bounced last year for vandalism.
  • I don't know when nekoalexa was last online. It was so long ago that the system doesn't even say.
  • Elisabel was online fairly recently and just hasn't posted or edited in quite a while.
