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 think after tonight I may be afk for a few days. Or at least in lurk mode here and there. I doubt I could force myself to stop actually visiting the site, but I'm hoping the time I free up from posting all day will allow me to deal with some stuff that needs dealing with.
Have fun, guys and gals.
Edit: And take care, Charl, I hope things go better for you.

You're looking for this person.I'm still absent. There are no computers where I am.
"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."Dang it, now how are you supposed to communicate with us?
What's the frequency Kenneth?|In case of war.Weeklong hiatus extended to two weeks.
My modem died... I am posting at a cousin's PC, that means I am gonna post less these days.
I'm sharing my girlfriend's computer and we're both unemployed. The forums are shuffled around my priority list, and of course it's difficult to leave for a while and then come back.
You can remove me from the list. :)
And sorry to hear about the ongoing trouble, Lucky, Charlatan, and Vandro. =/
Visit my contributor page to assist with the "I Like The Cheeses" project!Consider me on indefinite hiatus from the forums. This doesn't necessarily mean I'll never be here, but it does mean I won't stick around to engage in conversation.
I will keep my soul in a place out of sight, Far off, where the pulse of it is not heard.I don't really think I've been fitting in on this forum, especially on the Roleplaying board. I'm just too worried I'm coming off as an awful jerk or that I'm offending people. I won't leaving immediately, just letting everyone I'm really not in a happy mood right now.
Cu braţele armate, cu focul vostru-n vine, "Viaţă-n libertate ori moarte" strigă toţi.I should stick my name up here too. Been busy. Trying to stay busy. Good times.
Sex, Drugs, and RationalityAlso Term 4 starts tomorrow, right in time for trial exams for the HSC. As I'm Distance Educated I'll still have a bit more free time than most people in my situation, so I'll try to post whenever I'm able, especially since an old RPG of mine is finally getting replies.
Edit: I'll still have afternoons off and a bit of free time in the mornings though, well Australian afternoons and mornings that is.

Cu braţele armate, cu focul vostru-n vine, "Viaţă-n libertate ori moarte" strigă toţi.Hmm... You know, I think I'm going to stay off the forum for a little bit. You might not see me posting anywhere today. Don't panic, I'll be back tomorrow... or in the spring. Practices for swim team are arriving sooner than expected, I.E. this Wednesday. (They start out as twice-a-week one-hour afterschool "rookie's clinics", but that'll only last a few weeks. I don't have a real schedule yet, but I'm assuming practices are 3-hour-long Training from Hell sessions until I'm proven wrong.) I hate to say this, but as much as I adore this forum, I kind of need to start budgeting my free time and... well... obviously, TV Tropes won't help me with that at all.

Semi-absence. I will not make a single post tonight unless it is to help someone. Instant message/P Ms are open.
Some writing.I've been off and on for a bit, mainly cause I also have schoolwork and I need to improve my marks. I'll mostly be on Yack Fest and IJBM, but if I get free time, I may check out the other sections.
“This happy breed of men, this little world, this precious stone set in a silver’d sea.."Okay, fine. It's morning now, not night. Exercise over. I can post at the usual pace now.
You know I wouldn't go anywhere until I completely ceased to be of use or benefit to anyone here. I'm doing what I can to not let it happen. Let me know if I'm lapsing from the person a couple of you look up to, because I've never felt that way before and refuse to just lose your trust in a day.

Some writing.May (attempt to) go on a hiatus again.
This is to avoid the temptation to stay up late doing internet things so that I may rest. Also so that I can look at college stuff.
So, it's midterm time in college which means the descent into hell has initiated and I will become less and less active on here most likely so... yeah...
Real Life rwby roseI'm actually planning to leave the site for good now, however I still have The Definition Of Reality to monitor so I'll probably be avoiding all areas but that.

My grievous crimes of stupidity of late:
I am off my game lately. I suspect the cause is sleep deprivation. And I suspect what's killing my sleep is genuine computer addiction of some sort.
I have got to get my shit together a little. I like this place but between how much it sucks me in and all of the recent drama it takes a toll on my sanity.
Hope you understand. I'm sure you do.
