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:
- People announcing their departure or return.
- Moderators announcing a significant forum ban — not trolls or vandals, but someone people will notice and miss.
- Inquiries about an absent troper.
- Responses to inquiries about an absent troper.

They haven't been online since last month.
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...

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.

I got a rock for Halloween.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?

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.

Macron's notes
Something Awful. I wasn't here back then, but I hear there was a heated intersite rivalry.

Huh, interesting. Didn't know about all that. Thanks for the explanation Macron.
Oh my, I've just read the mentioned posts.
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?

Okay.

As MFE said, it’s been 11 years, and the site was totally different back then. I think we can just drop it.
All right, but keep in mind that TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Wizarding Skills.
Has anyone seen Chloe Jessica? I haven't seen her in quite a while. I'm starting to get worried.
Best advice I ever got? Keep repeating the joke till everyone is forced to laugh.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.)

Chloe still posts sometimes. I have seen them.
Twentington rage quit and got bounced for vandalism IIRC.

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.

Hello again.

Haven't seen kundoo in a while. Wonder how they're doing.
