No problem about the long post :D this idea is good, but it should be done as a plugin I think, it's fairly easy for a plugin... register event on user's changing state, then everytime it gets called, you do a ChatFor to get the chatid, then WriteMessage to write to the chatid... But with this OIM thing, I said that for the first message being sent as OIM, we should show a popup "do you want to send an OIM or cancel message"...
