The official AFK thread. #1
Edited on Wed Dec-31-03 04:15 PM by everythingsxen
I was thinking.. "Y'know.. sometimes things move pretty fast in the Lounge and GD, sometimes I gotta go AFK for a while.. and the dozen or so people who don't ignore me deserve to know that I am AFK."

"Sex"

Then I continued on the same thought train.. "Maybe others want to go AFK too, but they are terrified of losing their place in the rapidly shifting, breakneck pace of DU.. maybe they would want a thread where they can announce that they are off getting snacks or using the restroom. Restroom, such a funny word. I rarely go rest. Haha. I am so funny. Yes I think people definately want an AFK thread. Otherwise how will they let everyone know they are AFK it's quite possibly the most important thing in the whole Universe."

"Sex"

I kept thinking though. "Will anyone reply to this post?" I paused. "Sex". "Yes, if you post it, they will reply. Haha"

*uncontrollable giggling*

Oh.. btw... AFK! :evilgrin:

EDIT: I am a Typo Assassin!

2. I'm not afk anymore.
But thanks.

It doesn't seem too terribly clever to me but if it got a laugh then it was all worthwhile. :D

4. It's an acronym.
;-)

It's an acronym that means "Away From Keyboard".
