What you
type when you're chatting on
irc to explain you're
away for a while. The
effect is rather
spectacular:
(input) /away ordering pizza
*** Gabor is away: (ordering pizza) BX-MsgLog On
According to your irc
client, your
nickname may change
colour while you're /away (usually
grey). In
BitchX, theres a little
zZz.
When you're
back, just type /away again.
/me is another irc
goodie
/away is the place to be: people will wonder: where is he/she? even if you're not going anywhere, you can be /away.
