They forgot... it's abuse to use IM for someone in the next or same room.

I do that everyday! I work in a room with 7 people, one of them is our boss. We IM about him all day. Someone once forgot to turn off AIM logging. Made for some tense moments...

My old roommate and I would do that all the time. He'd either message me or call me from his room 8 feet away. lol

and uninspired, find something better to whine about. if someone is really annoying on im, they get blocked or yelled at, its not something that i suffer through to the point that I am going to make a webpage about it

Yah the first thing I do after a fresh install of any IM is to disable all the sounds except the initial incoming message. That typical AIM incoming message sound has got to be the most annoying sound known to geeks everywhere.

I did a spit take at this:
IX. If someone sends you a link or a song to download, you are not obligated to ever visit that link or download that song. Making a suggestion is fine, but don't pester them about it for days to come. You are interrupting their porn time.
