Re: OOT: Thread Overflow Depository (AKA: The Hijack This if you Dare Thread.)
My bad, I guess there is no way to 'set' your status to 'Away' in an IRC client. I was getting it mixed up with Messenger.
OTOH it would be possible to use the /nick option to add [Away] to the end of your name, but that's way too much work for most people that frequent IRC chat rooms.
Oh well, I guess I'll just have to work on my patience. 
Cheers!  |

It'd be really easy to add that automaticly, but it seems that nicks are limited to 9 characters, so I guess it'll just have to be an away message when someone mSG's or who's you. |

But does that set any showable status?
Isn't that just the away message that will be displayed when someone MSG's you or Queries you, it won't show up in the USERS list, or will it? |

It changes your nickname in the Users list.

Yes, but unfortunately people who hasn't seen "Narf" before might think your usual nick is "NarfAway" |

It's actually a pretty common thing to do.
Of course, I know you're joking (I speak : ) ), but practicing this with limited characters to the nickname could be, but then if your nick is long, everyone shortens it anyway. Too much typing takes away from clever thinking, and typing clever things.
On th subject of IRC, anyone who hasn't checked out http://www.bash.org should do so. Unless, of course, they do not find foul language and rude situations to be funny or are unable to appreciate funny things when they are found in the midst of the unfunny and downright opjectionable. |
