I'm AFK

OK, those of you who sit on MSN in constant busy status; go jump off a cliff or something. Seriously, what is the point of being online if you're not actually online? For fun? To wind me up? Because you're stupid?

Are you one of these people who goes onto instant messengers in constant Away status? And if so, WHY? :mad2::mad2:

I leave my away status up most of the time so people I don't feel like talking to wont just IM me out of the blue. :p

Some people just set themselves to busy or away even when they're not away.

Because of this, I always disregard statuses and say whatever I want. :D

I typically prefer to go busy/away than to log off, in case someone wants to leave me a message for when I get back or wake up.

I like PG's though. "Out to lunch." lolz

PG just wants to be like Bert who has used out for lunch for years!

I never put up statuses myself. It's more fun to leave myself set to available and never answer, waiting for annoyed comments. :p

I usually set it to away or busy when I am actually away or busy doing something but don't want to get off of MSN. Like working on essays. :D

Some of us need the away or else some of us are going to get IM'd about a Touhou score when we are busy dealing with our DotA score. Or I'll be away for a short amount of time, and if there's a torrent running, no harm could hurt, especially since I get them fairly often from people seeking help. It's so nice to always be right.

:lol:

I just set myself to offline and message the people I actually want to talk to. But for the past couple of days I've been set to online so I can talk to a certain friend who uses msn mobile. It doesn't allow to send to people offline for some reason, even if they are already talking.

Alternately, I can be pulled out of a Touhou game by an IM why a certain someone can't appeal to a certain Ravens Fan. :p

She's actually the Redskins Fan right now. Taylor Swift is on her playlist, after all.

Semantics. :-/

I completely agree. However I'm the other extreme, I've been known to log on to see if someone I know is around, and quickly log off when I see no one is xD

My away status comes on with my screen saver. I have my sound on so I can usually hear when people IM me anyway. The only time I can't hear and don't respond right away is when I'm watching a video full screen and am Busy. Otherwise I just sign out.
