I think since sl has grown so much, and people have met so many frinds on here it is important that we have a better "busy" Status

I think it would be nice if instead of making yourself "busy" for everyone it would be better if we had the option to make yourself "busy" for some people when you dont feel like talking to that specific person. Sometimes your doing something with someone and you dont feel like being disturbed by other friends. but you dont want to apear busy for everyone.

so my suggestion would be: leave the "busy" status we have now to make ourselfs busy for everyone. But also have one where we can just make ourselfs busy for specific people on our buddy list.

oh and also you might just say make yourslef invisble to the frinds you dont want to talk to. But your invible statues is not to good. alot of people think your offline and they send you a message thinking its going to go to your email,and when they do the message just goes thrue. When your really offline a reply always comes up and tells them your offline and the message will be delivered when they come back on. when your hiding it doesnt say that....so then they know that your hiding, and thats not cool....lol

if you cant do an improved "busy" status at least fix it so when your hiding from someone that it will say the same thing as it says when you are really offline.

You could just tell them that you are now doing something else and will get back to them later and that's it. This sounds more like a social problem than a technical one :P

I'd much rather have multiple remembered busy messages, like Yahoo, or hell, even give me the pre-made ones of MSN and AIM. I'd like to be able to set myself busy and tell people why without having to go through my preferences each and ever time.
