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.

Yeah, but their last edit was back in 2013 and their forum activity was in 2015.
ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔|I DO COMMISSIONS|ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔Oh, they just appear to be a Yack Fest regular when they were active on the site. I vaguely remember seeing them around I don't know what else can be said really.
Also, they didn't create the insecurities thread (or rather it's second incarnation). Bobby G did.
Macron's notesI just wonder what would Bobby's reaction would be when the Insecurities thread has been nuked?

Well, he was a mod so I think he'd understand.
Its entirely possible I've just happen to not run into him, but has anyone seen blankb?
Best advice I ever got? Keep repeating the joke till everyone is forced to laugh.Of the three founders of this wiki, as Gus died in 2005, Fast Eddie retired and became eyebones, what happened to Janitor?
ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔|I DO COMMISSIONS|ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔Janitor has been inactive for as long as I have been here. I think her posts in the sandbox
is all that's left of her forum presence at this point.
Since Janitor posted so rarely I remember these conspiracy theories that Eddie was actually sockpuppeting the account.
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.Frankly I think the About Us
page should list Gus and Janitor along with Fast Eddie. Also the Timeline.TV Tropes page doesn't even list all three at the start.
Edit: See the next post. Leaving the post's original contents here for context on why the next post was made, and why this post had the mod hat taken off.

I got a rock for Halloween.OK, I'm instead going to do something completely different from what I originally said and did (and potentially unexpected aside from one thing I'll get to in a bit, and potentially not what was intended when this thread was created) and just remove the "(On-Topic)" from the title (yes, I'm changing a title again; that's the part I was saying probably wasn't unexpected) due to it being out of place on Yack Fest and retract the thumps I issued because that aspect of the thread has been bugging me for a while either way, and it's easier than having to decide whether to move it to OTC.
