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'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.

Seems The Librarian 1701 no longer has their avatar. Did they delete their account?

That is strange, unless they did this when they were Type40. They still have TLP drafts running.

[up]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.

If they deleted their account, all of their drafts are up for grabs.

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.

Since 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 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.

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 taking a break again. Between being unfairly suspended recently and the disturbing actions the admins are taking, I no longer feel comfortable here.

I am going on an indefinite leave, for reasons we are no longer able to even talk about. It was fun while it lasted.

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.

I'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.

I am also too deep in the site to stop using it, but expect to see me dial down most forum activity in favor of sticking to the editing and cleanup side of things.

I also have a Discord if people want to talk to me there instead.
