I don't know why it bothers me so much.. one of my pet peaves i guess. I Just find it stupid when i Log on and i have 25 people online bot only 3 of them are actually there. Its the people that NEVER turn it off that bother me.

u can change msn status settings so l i ke after 1hr if you havn't used msn, it will automatically go on away.

I usually have myself on away 75% of the time haha

[mindgurl]

Why would they turn it off?

If i could leave my msn on all the time i would. I have special work msn, otherwise too many people talk to me in the day time, but at home my sis uses msn too, so if i'm not online it's cuz she is !

[KenJi]

Well for me its just me that used msn, so when I go to work I want msn on away.

Hence when i leave in the morning it automatically puts me in away also, if I forgot to log off it puts me in away.

I just like away better anyways, lets me be selective of who I talk to heh

[mindgurl]

i love the block options

haha when annoying people run into me and they say "you are never on msn anymore"


whoopsie, what can i say, i run a TIGHT SHIP !

yeah or pretend your computer crashed and you didn't get the message. answering machines never do that.

[Akeel]

Haha i love that too... Usually crappy co-workers.

[_bRiTt]

i put myself to away only when i'm actually away.. if someone talks to me when i'm not away and i don't want to talk to them i just blantly ignore them.. or say brb..

I usually leave my msn on regardless of whether I'm home or not.. But I do write 'out' or 'sleeping' somewhere in my msn name just so people know I'm not there. *shrug*

quoted for truth on both accounts

Yea for years ive been on busy. I never go online. I hate being barraged with messages sometimes. and everyone who knows me know that i do it and i ahve the "if im there ill msg back" rule. Of course back in the ICQ days it was ok cause they had the invisible list thing. Something MSN lacks

you know that information is transmitted to the user, eh?

GAIM users can see if you close a window on them right away.

it doesn't lack it, just doesn't let you message while you're in it.

[nabs]

i usually just keep leaving messages. lol. when that happens, i never leave my msn on away.

yea it has invis mode but i meant the invis list. msn would be that much better if they had it. for me personally atleast
