this could get extremely messy...which channels would you do it in? how would it know they were talking to you? would you have to use the whole chars name?
I guess the only plausible way this could be done is to have a status icon next to your chat text...which would obviously go once the chat moved on and the text disappeared.
Ehm.. I think he means the little icon next to the name in friends and guild list. I guess you could have the afk status show when you do a /who in a channel.
