| Term used to describe when something is operating but is not being used. For example, when your computer is on but you're not doing anything with it, it is idle. Today when a computer or electronics device is idle for too long it will often go into an energy conserving mode to save power. When referring to chat an idle user refers to someone who is logged into the chat but hasn't been actively chatting for several minutes. Often these are users who're away doing other things such as eating or sleeping but wish to remain on to view the conversations that happened while they were gone.
