why do you set your msn status to 'away'? - Page 2

Godsmack · 04-12-2005, 08:21 AM

I really dont like MSN.... Im an AIM guy

Zoner · 04-12-2005, 08:22 AM

I run that too. I'm such an IM whore.

Dont use msn anymore. Not even installed on my comp. I run aim and I only set away messages when im either gone or dont want to talk to people. I leave it one so I can get important message about what time practice is or what time I have a lab practice etc. at night it goes off and I sleep.

even when you go to bed, you leave it on away. just sign the fuck out. if you think the only way people will contact you is through msn, think again. there is also email. There are currently 12 people online on my msn, but only 1 is idle and the rest are set to away/busy. WTF is the point? please tell me members of gf1.

if I do it, I am always near my computer, watching a movie or playing a game, or Im getting something to eat.

so why the hell do you do it?

Right with ya man. How dare they sign in!

I am away only when I am actually busy AND don't feel like talking to anyone. oOo:

People don't like turning their computers off...I always have the same people on who are away all the time...I just don't like not being able to tell if they ar eonline or away because i never messege people who are away unless it is very important.

I think it is useless as well.

Rofl, I always wonder the same thing.

It's usually because some guy's Away message is usually funnier than he is.

I wish people would much rather do that.

i go away so i can talk to a select person without having to deal with 23423 other people, or because im simply away and i can use msn as an answering machine. fucking whiner oOo:

Miscguy · 04-12-2005, 10:52 PM

I dont use IM thingies.

The only thing i have is Xfire, and thats mostly so i can see how long i spend playing shit, because for some reason thats interesting to me.
