Close TSR for a few weeks in July - request from a senior user

We are all going to need some recovery time after the referendum. Also, TSR is more addictive than crack for many users and finally, I need a break from hate.

Therefore Mods, please close TSR down for 2-3 weeks in July so we can all have a nice rest and perhaps a little holiday somewhere nice? :colondollar:

Please confirm.

No, sorry. I still need to find my girlfriend on TSR...

The run up to results is too busy to be fulfilling such a request :P

Not a bad suggestion, however:
People might be seeking advice for Uni/college
Everyone goes on holiday at different times
When they re-open it, less people may come back /// there will be chaos in the first few days lol leading to lagging
People get very bored during the summer, sometimes it's just nice to talk about things other than work

If you don't want to use it, just log out??? resist the temptation :tongue: enjoy ur holiday

No. TSR isn't just a politics forum... And even if it was, many people will want to discuss the results.

I'm pretty sure there's an app you can use to block TSR if you really need that break. :tongue:

That could be handled on The Genuine Student Concerns Room.

This Student Room could be closed down for deep cleaning and general purging.
Wait, you want CT to force us saddos to get a life?!

Apps can be thwarted.

I need serious admin action here, the forum has become too much.

It's time for major changes.

Closure need only be like 20 days or something.

Think of it is as tough love. Firm therapy.

You're full of surprises.

I'm sorry, I can't help but be original.

Anyway I disagree. Some people still need help with real life things, many urgently - TSR is a valuable place for that. Plus, it's healthy to discuss politics and the stuff shaping our lives around us. Why don't you log out of TSR for a bit yourself?

I feel that my followers need me and don't want them to be cast adrift if the forum is open.

On the other hand, I want a holiday.

These things are difficult to reconcile. Hence the urgent request for heavy duty Captain Jack-style major intervention.

It's only a forum dear.

Once the first few days of no TSR have passed, your body will adjust - trust me, I got off peri-peri, Haribos and other addictive substances, so I know about these things.

no.... let's crowdfund a nice break for Fullof in a pleasant Socialist Country where she cannot access the internet... it is on the tip of my tongue :h:
Just no and that would be very selfish.
Not everyone is bothered about the referendum.
If you cant control your TSR usage, then seek help rather thna deny it to others.
Plenty of people will wnat advice at this time about results.
