Used to notify
|
|||
|
|
others that you will be momentarily unavailable online. eg. “<span class="quote">Let's
|
|||
|
|
not go kill that frost giant yet, I need to go AFK to make a phone
|
|||
|
|
call</span>”. 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.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="AFJ.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../A.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="AI.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">AFJ<EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>AI</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
