Confused? This means talk to him as much as you can and invite your friends to do the same.

Lolololololol.

'N the old days people could just use the busy status to avoid being talked to, but the feature has been abused and now it means nothing.

Online: Whenever this happens, wich maybe does once a Year, feel free to talk to me.
I am probably searching for someone to chat to. |8
Busy: People seem to ignore it because I am nonstop on Busy. But then don't be pissed incase I don't reply, because I am simply -Busy-.
Away: No sense in contacting me then. I use this very rarerly to also fake my Status when I just got N00bSpammed. :(
On the Phone: This is the Peoples favourite, because I am AFK for like, Hours. Posted Image
Gaming: What it means. I am gaming, when it's a serious Game I won't reply, else I might.
Offline: Stop writing me stuff when I am offline!
Stealth Mode: No, you did not just find out that I am hiding, and incase you ever did, I will never let you know.

MSN = Serious Business.

EDIT: Oh and, if you ever see me using Default MSN Smileys, I am drunk.
I just hate those things and never use them.

Online = Actually there for five minutes with nothing better to do. Inevitably not bothered.
Away = Buggered off somewhere and forgot to turn the PC off. Inevitably bothered.
Busy = Playing a game/photoshopping etc. Inevitably bothered.
BRB = When did I ever last use this?
In A Call = Used once and found I wasn't bothered. Used more frequently now. <---holy grail of all untarnished statuses
Out to lunch = What it says on the tin/can/yoghurt pot. ALWAYS bothered.
Offline = Generally hiding form someone but mostly I have a life so don't bother at this time. Inevitably picks up later messages.

MSN = Inevitable.
For there can be no death without life.

Online = Never.
Away = Outside home.
Busy = Always.
BRB = Never.
In A Call = Never
Out to lunch = Never.
Offline = Offline.

I have very few people in my MSN, I regularly delete people without interest, so there are only people who know me well and know that I can take time to respond since I'm still busy.

Away: This is the one that I use about 5% of the time I'm online. Being away advertises that you have a life outside of your computer, which makes you real cool and shit.
Online: I used this status about four years ago.
Busy: This is the one that I use 95% of the time when I am online. I could be gaming or trying to annoy Thez. If I don't reply, then the chances are that I have at least six convo windows open, and seeing as I have a cut off point at four, I will not respond. You simply cannot have a meaningful conversation with more than two max.
BRB: I don't often change my status to indicate that I will be right back. I prefer to sneak off. Comr4de knows about this all too well - and vice versa. |8
Offline: Means just that. Sometimes I might use this if I want to sneak up on Hunter or Thez to get the first word in. :P

Online: The planets of the solar system line up in a constellation that only occurs every 3000 years. Doomsday is imminent and I'm available for a chat.
Offline: Offline / seeing if Cattman is online
Busy: Actually talking to someone, probably Cattman
Away/BRB/Phone/Dinner: Not used

Mine's something like:

Online: I'm online and not doing anything I consider too vital
Idle: I'm doing something more interesting and forgot to set my status as away
Away: I'm not at the computer, talk all you like but you won't get a reply
Busy: Doing uni work that seriously needs to get done
Appear Offline: Someone's online I don't want to talk to
Offline: At work / sleeping / travelling to uni / doing something interesting
