the deal with AIM?

[the sex molesters]

so what's the deal with AIM (or whatever messenger service you use)?

[the sex molesters]

i'm trying to figure out if this feeling that none of my friends want to talk to me is just me misinterpreting their AIM use, or if it's the truth....

[the sex molesters]

and another question..... when an IM is received, and no response is sent, there is no away message, and the computer is not idle (i.e. somebody received it), does that in fact mean that the recipient definitely does not want to talk to the sender of the message? is this considered rude by most people?

[pluryou]

I don't think it necessarily means they don't want to talk maybe they are busy... or something

It happens when I am on and I try and talk back all the time but sometimes things just come up. ;)

I have yahoo, msn, and aim

I never really put away messages.... unless I'm busy or am really away.

you can't always tell if it is or isnt.


i have my options set so to "do not allow users to see that i am idle"

true that... I hate when ppl are like ohhhhhhhhh u dont wanna talk... then they put all the sad faces and shit.... and its like I wasnt even there..

I think thats childish

I leave my messenger on at work, I have to put away messages up when I leave my desk, even though most people don't pay attention and IM me anyway. Espescially while I'm trying to get things done.
When at home, it's on when I'm there. Unless I get a phone call or someone shows up at my house randomly...which is common, then I don't bother putting a message up, I just turn my screen off and deal with the msg's when I get back.
I don't really care what people think about the way I use IM. It's not life.

if im there and wanna talk to you, i will. if not, dont get friggin upset by it...its not anything personal.

A lot of times, people will be on the board, but have an away message up on IM. That's when I write them, "I know you're there, answer me!". You people know who you are....and i'm not talking about those who have their IM on at home and are on the board at work, cuz some jobs don't allow IM, which sucks a fat donkay cack, IMO.

well, unless it is something personal.

i am guilty of this. see post above.

sometimes i dont feel like keeping up with a "live" conversation cuz im doing other shit. the board doesnt demand any immediate response.

[vip]id be willing to bet that in inergy's case, people really are ignoring him[/vip]

I would die at work w/out IM.

What if the person has a board window open, and no away message up? They would still show as being on the board, right? But maybe they're not there.

Most of the time when it says I'm on the board, I'm doing other things, I've just got a window for it open.

:delirious:

[Article One]

the board will log you out after like 20 mins though..much like when your computer goes idle.

i think this is a newer feature, cuz it used to just be like you were on the board all day, but not posting anything.
