Honestly, I'm 16, and even I know that going to the hospital (or at least the public hospitals here, because they're full of people - and I don't have money to pay a private one) and having a sick child definetly warrant much more than 30 minutes. People don't live, or at least shouldn't live, on the computer. If I had a son with high fewver, that fell asleep, maybe I'd log in. Bu should he wake up in the next fifteen minutes, I'm gonna AFK and keep on with him until I'm absolutely sure there's no need. If I'm playing and my uncle is sick at the hospital, I'm not gonna return in at the very unexcusable least two hours. I know those were just examples on your part... but well, they are definetly not good examples. We live for the real world, and no matter how much we value the people online, the inmediate physical surroundings come first, always.

As a side note, when one posts, one can't just ask people to not answer against one's point of view. That's the idea of public forums: We post, we debate, we come to a conclusion. Personally, and this is not meant as an attack (and if it's taken as so, I'll gladly remove it) I don't see the point in telling people to not-AFK. For as much as some of us would love to, we can't cancel reality. Even if it's for a while. I do understand the aim at disbanding the little RP groups, but you've got to remember that those groups are formed for a reason. And one angry post won't solve it. As for myself, I used to think the same thing, and personally I think those little groups have opened up... to the point I really don't remember if they were there in the first place.
