i have a suggestion. i came up with this idea when i was playing doom 3. i had my personal status on ("playing") but i had put the settings to show the messenger popups even when busy. and of course i was shown that sum1 had logged in or sum, wich totaly ruined the way i was gonna freak out cause of all the scary monsters.
so i thought: why not have the ability to make a personal status where u dont just change status, u'll also change your settings. that way i can have 1 status called "playing" where i allow messenger popups and 1 status where i dont allow them. that way my doom 3 experience wont be ruined
of course this can be used to tons of other things than doom 3
