Inviting people to a party through an away message. Eliminating the burden of picking and chooseing who to invite as well as the time to make phone calls.
Advantages: This works well when you can only have a few people over because only the people who read he away message will know. You won't have to feel guilty or make people mad when you forget to invite them.
Disadvantages: You might have unwelcome guests.
This method works best for last minute parties planned a few hours beforehand.

Alex: Dude, why weren't you at Beckys party last night?
Spencer: what party? I wasn't invited! ::angrey glare::
Alex: oh dude don't worry, it was an Away Message invite, she didn't officially invite anyone. Just check the away messages more often.

An AWAY MESSAGE BATTEL!! occurs when you Instant Message someone while your away message is up, and in turn, get their away message - spawning two battling rapid-fire style auto-responses. Your screen scrolls really fast, your heart races; and in the heat of the moment, you yell it loud: "AWAY MESSAGE BATTEL!!"
Mrwhale Jr (12:10:00): I'm drawing a giant taco
Auto response from Shower Tim (12:10:01): I'M NOT HERE!!
Auto response from Mrwhale Jr (12:10:02): Free Eyeball Washes!
Mrwhale Jr: (12:10:08): AWAY MESSAGE BATTEL!!!!

putting a quote from or referencing another person in ones away message, thus giving them status. That way anyone who looks at the away message:
1. thinks to themself, "WOW that Person A must be SO cool/funny because they are in Person B's away message"
2. sees that the person putting up the away message must have liked the comment so much they want all the people on their buddy list to see that they interact with cool/funny people.
please note: away message status (or simply, status as it has come to be called) should not be freely given to just anyone. The recipient's comment must be witty, clever and well-timed. Also, it is acceptable to make comments in hopes of getting status, but one should never beg or ask for status (that is a sign of being desperate)
