my friends

I'm guessing the friend system may have just been running a little behind...there isn't a lot of direct evidence for this, but the constant updating of the Doing Now did use up a good chunk of space. Of course that system has been updated and so is less prone to overload. Also notable, after half an hour or so of inactivity, your status will go "offline", even if you're still logged in.

Catch my drift.

Happens to me too.
Sitting on your computer for a certain amount of time makes the status go red too.

How can you forgive if you can't forget?
