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.

I'll still be posting and possibly also editing in an unofficial capacity, so I won't be gone completely. It's just mod work I'm taking a break from.
I got a rock for Halloween.Seems The Librarian 1701 no longer has their avatar. Did they delete their account?
ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔|I DO COMMISSIONS|ᜇᜎᜈ᜔ᜇᜈ᜔That is strange, unless they did this when they were Type40. They still have TLP drafts running
.
They did delete that account as well. As for how to handle those TLP drafts, even if I weren't taking a break from mod work, I'd have to defer to mods who are active on that part of the site, because I don't know if there's a policy for TLP drafts whose sponsors deleted their accounts.

I got a rock for Halloween.Again? Huh. That's a whole lot of UFG drafts, including very recent creations.
For TRS reasons, is Fools Edit Account active? Their edit history is too infrequent to gauge and they're next up.
Vehicle-Based Characterization | Grief-Induced Split | Locker MailSince it's now the middle of the week and I said I was just planning to take a break from mod work until at least the middle of the week (I was still active in an unofficial capacity, albeit to a lesser extent than usual), my break's technically over, though I don't feel like doing much mod work right now. The only thing I've really done today is change the title of a TRS thread after it was requested.

I got a rock for Halloween.I think it's high time for me to take a break because I need to focus more on some IRL stuff. I am bad at breaks buut I am planning to mostly inactive after this weekend. I haven't decided when I'll be back but I don't see the break lasting to November.
Macron's notes
Best of luck to you Macron! Good luck on your break!
I got with Mr Mister 04 on Discord. He said his keyboard is, to quote him, "f***'d up", so I believe he'll be away from TV Tropes until he gets a working keyboard.
I'm going on indefinite leave myself. Not even entirely because of the drama but also because this site is interfering with my schoolwork and I need to focus.
Goodbye for now. Thanks for all the memories.

Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallI'm too invested in the site to just leave, but my forum activity is likely going to drop. I just made a new discord so I'll see some of you on the flip side.

@GastonRabbit: Sorry to hear that. :( I hope you recover as soon as possible.
