Busy or away??

Now this is most likely a suggestion that can be used for future reference but if there is ever a specific chatbox that can be used while still navigating through the site and you can talk to everyone that replies to you as you go in and out of topics and such without having to go to another page entirely to talk...but it may be helpful for when that day comes that we can put an "Away" or "Busy" sign of the sort so you know if your friends are up to something for the time and can't really talk or they just wanna stay on while they go off to do something real quick and be able to come back without having a message box crammed with messages. But like I said before, this idea can be used for future reference. There may have been posts like this before me, if so, i'm sorry if this topic is kind of pestering. Just thought i'd throw an idea out there.

The idea of a "Chat Box" isn't new, but I've never thought of adding in a mod for your current status. I'm sure if I look hard enough I can find something. Anyway, its a nice idea for me to think about

Edit: This is a demo of a chat/shoutbox I could possible use.

Most forums and popular websites get their hands on chatboxes and add all sorts of nice mods and tricks to them. I just thought it'd be a helpful idea in case life has its calling for a moment and a person can have the time to take care of whatever it is. I'm not huge on computer programming or networking but I always pay attention to what most forums and websites have in common, the things people usually want in their everyday online community. I'm glad I could give you that new mod idea though. And i'll be making sure that if I get anymore ideas i'll be here to "shout" them out.

I just had another idea to tack onto this one. Along with the whole status idea maybe we could also add a small text box saying what the person may be doing so community members might be able to guess how long a person may be gone or if someone might want to make a small comment on the person's status like...say someone says that they are going to like a birthday party and a friend could just be like "Oh cool, have fun at the party!". Something like that maybe.

Just another possible idea to add to this one.

Yeah I support that because we talk alot to each other but only in messeges and I cannot have msn because of my stupid instl.pgr. Also it would kinda easier to have net battle and easier to contact each other.
