With AwayBox, you can use random away messages that automatically change every 10 seconds. Your friends will see a different away message each time they view it. Choose from over 30 different categories, including Shower, Food, Homework, Class, Work, Out, and Sleep.

2. Custom AIM Away Messages

Use our Custom Away Messages feature to make your own set(s) of random away messages. This works the same way as our Random Away Messages feature, except all the away messages will be created by you!

The Back Timer Away Message will display exactly how much time is left until you will be back from being away. Set the back timer to the number of minutes that you will be away for (5 min, 15 min, 30 min, etc.), and the back timer will automatically count down every minute and update your away message until you come back. In the example on the right, the back timer has been set to 10 minutes (the example updates quicker than normal for display purposes).

4. Colored AIM Smileys
Easily send great new colorful AIM smileys in IMs, chat rooms, or profiles, such as the AIM smileys on the right. Note: Only works for users with AOL Instant Messenger 5.0 or higher.
