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.

Fuu...Haa....
Right. I mustn't run away.
How do I start this?
Tv Tropes Will Ruin Your Life? Who knows?
Mine's probably ruined already before I came here but this site really isn't helping.
I have a confession to make. I have an Internet addiction. It's bad. Sometimes, it gets really bad.
So, I'm going to do something about it. I'm leaving. For good? Who knows? But just don't expect me to show up here in the near future. I mean it. This site is really not helping.
No. That's wrong. It's not the site's that's not helping but the community. You guys are just too nice. Oh, I don't know. Maybe I won't be able to go through with it after all but I'm going to try.
Seeya, guys. My e-mail is on the mailing list. Feel free to contact me at any time. Or maybe we'll meet up again on FF.net or Something Awful.
Either way, here's a T Vtropes badge.

PS. Feel free to choose a new GM for my Maid game (all I really wanted was that there would be a Maid game running here, anyway) and feel free to pretend I've never signed up on the 2 D&D games. Maybe I'll come back. Who knows? But I'm going to try to leave this place for good. No matter how much I don't want to.

Meh. I have too much going on right now, so I'll be taking a break for a week or two. My email address is lurking in a certain Yack Fest thread, so go scour the fora for it if you so desire to speak with me.
I'll still be frequenting the Kunin board, for those of you in the Doujin Circle. In fact, my project for the Kunin is one of the reasons for this break.
Aloha.

Awww, I'm sorry to hear that Solstace. Well, I'll be eagerly awaiting your return.

vandro: I had an even bigger list in that big-ass blowjobs topic. It had more tenses than Spanish.
I can decline every single form in Latin fairly quickly, it's not that hard. I had trouble coming up with everything in English because it isn't logically structured.

Bye. I have to go. See you all later.

I might have to take a break from this place. The bad combination of Wiki Walk, Forum Addiction and home videos is distracting me from actually getting anything done (my driver's license, my school work, my Teen Black Comedy
etc).
Hell, i'll probably come back in like, 5 minutes for all i know, but if not, see ya folks!
Don't do anything too exciting while i'm gone (though that's why i'm leaving. I'm not doing anything exciting period)

And so, with great shame upon the head, nothing of value is lost.
What's the frequency Kenneth?|In case of war.

Does this mean Zyxzy's taking a break too?
"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."
I want to say he's making a joke at Schitzo's departing expense, but it would be out-of-character for him to do so.

I can't forsake this place. I'm only human.

The forums and the wiki are both too chaotic and too fast-moving these days for me to contribute meaningfully.
That and to be honest I'm not finding the site as interesting as I used to.
In other words, if I more or less vanish from the site indefinitely in the immediate future, goodbye and farewell in advance. I will still leave my contributions and userpage, though.
Hopefully you understand.

Take care, man.

Leaving for awhile this time. And I mean awhile. See you all later, I'll be back, so don't give it any thought.
You're looking for this person.
Is there a trend of people leaving for good now?
DUMB
One person? (Who will be missed?) I didn't think that Outta The BLAM was coming back until like May anyways.

I think it's just that people didn't used to bother to tell us about it.

Until this thread, since Troper Updates moves so damn fast.
INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

Quick update: Today is the one week mark of my absence. I'll be taking another week. I still have crap to do. I'll upload another video and maybe finally get around to writing some of those articles I said I would to make up for it.

Almost forgot how to pothole, there. That's kinda sad.

Okay, so maybe totally leaving was a bit much.
Becoming increasingly erratic and less frequent in my appearances seems more reasonable.
The site seems much funnier and livelier today. In recent weeks, at least for me, it seemed dull and melodramatic.
Hi Charlatan.
That's right, you can never leave.
I am going to visit my family in one of the rural province so I am gonna be out of the site for like this week...NOS VEMOS TROPEROS,
PD. ENGLISH IS EASY, MY PROBLEM IS THE ACCENT. TRY MEMORIZING ALL THE TENSES IN SPANISH AND THEN WE SPEAK. YOU GLORIFIERS OF COMPLEXITY AND DIFICULTY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
