It makes me a hypocrite, though, because I often have chats through the status thingy, heheh ^^;

Nah, not really...

where is the " i keep that vicious thing off at all times" option? :P

I was looking for that option too, Germany!

I don't use the chat things anymore. Too many people begging me to join their lame spots on topics that I don't even know.

i do it all the time lol i got to keep my people updated

My chat box is rarely on though..I don't really get annoyed if it is,and I didn't even know there was a status update thing there either x)

Never turn it on, so no i don't care

Drives me crazy! As also updates are shown there and I keep looking and it's just someone who has wrote a new status, bad times.

A little bit.
