Avoid AFK topics
Remember that many hundreds of people check these forums every day. Please help us reduce topic clutter by delivering messages meant for a few people directly to those people!
If the primary purpose of your post is to let your RP/chat partners know that you won't be around for awhile, don't post it! Use the profile status updates feature, private message your RP/chat partners directly instead, or post a message in your actual RP topics where you can be sure your partners will see it.
Of course, if you are making the post to announce a major life event (getting married, going on a book tour for your first novel, etc.), you're looking for members to meet up with at a convention, you're looking for suggestions for things to do in a certain area, or anything with wider relevance, and there's just a PS that you might also not be on the site, that's a different story.
Be aware that as of August 8th 2015, moderators will delete AFK topics on sight.

Alright... I’m going to ask ...
What exactly does the acronym ’AFK’ stand for?
Edit: never mind... I googled it and it’s ‘Away From Keyboard’ ... did people spam the boards just to say they were stepping away from their keyboards? Also dumb question.. obviously they did or there wouldn’t be a need for a rule about it.
