People shouldnt be aloud to log onto chat and then dissapear. Its bs that i log into chat, see a bunch of people there and so i ask a question just to find out that they are just logged on to chat to be in chat. Whats the point of even going there just to find everyone thats logged in there is not really there. I think its a totaly load of crap.

It's called idling. People do it so that they can do other things besides stare at an IRC client, yet check occasionally to see if anybody is talking. There is a lot of discussion, just not constantly. Usually in the mornings and late at night, in North America.

its one thing to idle for a little while, its totally different when ya log on to the chat and then go away for the whole day

kinda wierd that ya were able to answer me here but 5 mins ago ya didnt say a word in chat. Is there some kind of reward for having the longest time in chat without saying anything?

*moved to OT*

Having lots of ppl on the userlist is alot better than having none.

Let's blow this outta proportion for simplicity. Would you like to enter a chat room when theres only 1 person in it, or a chat room with 50 people in it? I'd go in the one with 50, even tho most are "idling". It creates an atmosphere and the channel looks better.

People are encouraged to put "AFK" or "BRB" next to their names if they are gone but its not required.

More people in the chat room, the better. Click here

Aren't we all idlers in a way? We come to the forums, post a few messages, come back a bit later, and repeat.
