Troll-O-Meter | = T = | troughie

tron v.

[NRL, CMU; prob. fr. the movie "Tron"] To become inaccessible except via email or `talk(1)`, especially when one is normally available via telephone or in person. Frequently used in the past tense, as in: "Ran seems to have tronned on us this week" or "Gee, Ran, glad you were able to un-tron yourself". One may also speak of `tron mode'; compare spod.

Note that many dialects of BASIC have a TRON/TROFF command pair that enables/disables line number tracing; this has no obvious relationship to the slang usage.
