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.

What VeryMelon said. Part of the reason I'm semi-back is because others are still here, that and there's something addictive about this site. It's obviously not going to be the same though, with so many people having left. I at least hope me staying here makes the site a little more bearable, plus those pages aren't going to edit themselves.


Speaking of which, I just recently found out Purple Eyed Guma deleted their account. Godspeed.

Gonna try my hardest to disappear from my socials until my finals in December.

I'll happily enjoy coming back to troping once I'm finished with those.

Peace out ✌️ (Edit: Thanks in advance for the well wishes 💛)

I'd like to make a short announcement (this seemed like the best thread to put this under). I'm not leaving TV Tropes, and I'm unsure if I'll actually be taking a break or anything, per se, but if my activity on this site is a little more subdued lately or otherwise unusual for me... please be understanding.

My cat abruptly died this morning and I'm trying to deal with the loss right now. I'm not going to be forcing myself to do anything that I'm not ready to do at the moment - and that may include certain things on this site.

Cold turkey's getting stale. Tonight I'm eating crow.

I'm doing a little better now - thanks for the support, everyone. (One thing I particularly like about TV Tropes' community is that for the most part, they're a pretty welcoming bunch.)

My condolences.

Okay, I've been gone for 2 months due to the whole [REDACTED] debacle back then, but I've been still lurking around and I'm coming back. I know the reason why I left hasn't really changed, but honestly I just missed being apart of this site and it felt like the only one I was punishing was myself. I'm still very skeptical about the reasons why I left in the first place, but I'm coming back.
