Abbrev. for Away From Keyboard. Used to notify others that you will be
|
|
|
|
|
momentarily unavailable online. eg. Let's not go kill that frost giant yet,
|
|
|
|
|
I need to go AFK to make a phone call. Often MUDs will have a command to
|
|
|
|
|
politely inform others of your absence when they try to talk with you. The
|
|
|
|
|
term is not restricted to MUDs, however, and has become common in many chat
|
|
|
|
|
situations, from IRC to Unix talk.
