I've been sitting here watching people disappear for a while. totally at random..
my son vanished a bit ago, my daughter just now spontaneously became un-idle, and we're all in the same house (well.. the pc's are.. I'm home alone at the moment!) sharing the same connection.. I appear to have been unaffected. thus far.
it was weird before people started disappearing too, though.. my son would be idle and away when he was there and I could hear him typing, but when he went away/idle and was in here working on his homework, then he was neither idle nor away.. was somewhat odd.
gremlins I guess..
