Irrelevant Skype Stuff.

Green = Available.
This means I am more than likely at my computer and ready to have conversations with you and am looking to chat! Feel free to message me about anything from idle chat to serious questions to whatever. That being said, I may have had to step away for something and didn't have time to change my status to away so if I am unable to respond immediately, please be patient!
Yellow = AWAY
This means I am not at my computer and/or cannot respond to messages immediately. It is probably not a good idea to try and start a casual conversation with me when my status is set to away as I cannot dedicate the attention to such a conversation BUT feel free to leave me a message. I will eventually do my best to get back to you... Until I have my status set to available (green), please keep in mind I probably won't be able to hold much of a concrete conversation as I am usually working on something important, playing a full screen game, watching a movie or doing something that leaves me mostly distracted.
Red = DO NOT DISTURB
This means I am not in the mood for casual conversations or may be extremely busy doing something and do not wish to be disturbed. "But Icee" you say "If you do not wish to be spoken with, why even be on Skype?" Skype is one of the fastest ways to contact me so I tend to leave my Skype up just in case an artist or friend REALLY needs to get a hold of me. Sometimes, I am just in a really bad mood and want to talk with one or two particular people who I know are able to handle me being in a bad mood. When I am set to do not disturb, unless I have initiated conversation, please reserve your messages for emergency or business ONLY, even if it has been several days. If you try to hold casual conversation with me while I am listed as DND, chances are EXTREMELY high that you will be ignored.
I have noticed that many people have been trying to hold casual conversations with me when my status is set to away or DND and it can be rather frustrating to feel like my attempts to communicate the level of conversation I am willing to have are straight up ignored. Occasionally, I have even posted an accompanying text status such as "Busy working - expect slow responses" and still get people who get upset when I don't respond to them immediately.
So I'd like to take this time to remind everyone to please mind someone's Skype status, especially if they have it set to do not disturb. Chances are they don't want to have a casual conversation with you.
If you feel you are solely responsible for me posting this journal, rest assured that MANY people have pushed me to post this and you are not the only one who has slipped up... please also rest assured that I don't hate you or not want to talk with you. I just wanted to remind people to be mindful of someone's skype status as it usually indicates the level of conversation they are willing or able to have.
No longer relevant as I deactivated my Skype.
People don't bother reading mine, namely two people actually that have really gotten on my last nerve over the last year or so that keep spamming me with faces or crap if I don't respond right away. I set it to DND now just so the skype will stop sending me all these noises when I'm working.
However, for some reason, my skype doesn't log me out anymore. It keeps saying I'm online and folks will message me at 4am in the morning. I KNOW I'm not online on my phone, so I don't understand why I get it on my computers.
Blah, either way, Skype is a nuisance lately for me. ; 3;
Nice and descriptive explanations, it shouldn't be unreasonable for anyone to respect your status.
