I miss the AIM days when you’d hear the “door opening” sound when someone signed on. It was totally normal to immediately ping someone then because signing onto AIM was asking to be pinged. And that sound made your heart skip a beat because it might be the girl you like and she might even IM you first :o
MSN user here. Feigning a sign in and out was a good way to start a conversation with someone without looking like you wanted to talk to them first. i.e. crush, gf, friend you're not so close with.
