Active / inactive tags for users?

Just wandered if perhaps we could have tags to set ourselves to "inactive" I we are away on holiday or something? At the moment one has to make a thread in the Member HQ area and hope it is seen by all the other members.. So why not have a setting users can change that will show people they are away? Maybe a field under the nicknames one?

No big deal, just think it would be a bit nicer; in addition it could also show whether or not a member is currently banned... Not that we want to see that happening to anyone but sometimes it does happen and having a visible indication that a user is inactive at least lets us know they will not be able to reply to thread or role plays whether banned or just away on holiday or whatever scenario it may be

What about a paw print that would be lit up, or dimmed if the member has set their account as currently inactive? And then have it automatically dim itself IF the member is banned if possible.

Normally when I'm gonna be gone I just say so, and don't worry about it much.

I've never much felt the need to make damn good and sure all members of the forum know that I'm not logging in often xD

This idea is great, as I frequently take extensive breaks from MLK.

I quite enjoy this idea :)
It could be quite useful. Especially since I took a year off MLK a while back ^^

Surely it's better to know when a friend is away than not?
I know if you were to leave this site (again) I would rather be aware of that than not. And yeah maybe you could post it in the member den but that way you assume people will read it; this saves the bother of typing up soppy "leaving" messages, just hit a button and be on your way whole also eliminating that doubt.

I think this idea's a good one, too. It could certainly come in handy for when members do have to leave.
