On the who's online box in the lower right hand corner I had clicked it and it said 1 person was on. But one of the guys had a red dot instead of green or grayed out. I clicked on him and it said he was 'busy'. The green says 'I'm available' and the grayed out say 'I'm offline'.
What does 'busy' mean?

Yes.. You have to befriend someone to speak with them.. I try to friend everyone that sticks around.
That way if I am on line you can chat with me if you have a question or need a mod..
I would say everyone should atleast friend all the Mods, Len etc
PM's sometimes goes un-noticed or read for days..

Well I still think the chatter box is for chicks. I did chat with Len, I said "hey, you like Leo Laport" he said "ya, I just got done watching twit". That's it, chatting was over. If I wear a bra on my head like in that movie Weird Science, will I understand it better.

Here, I did a little search, so I can catch up to speed with you chatting chicks. Found this how too and thought of other 1st time chatter boxers could find it helpful.
..
Here you go
.
Like, I'm so sure. If you don't even know how to talk like a valley girl you totally have to learn. Duh. It came from Southern California and is lovingly known as "Valspeak." If you need to try it on for size, pop in some chewing gum, bleach your hair, grab some bottled water and chill.
Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
Speak with what linguists call a high rising terminal. That means end your sentences with a rising intonation. It's as if you're asking a question with every statement you make.
Say the word "like" at least once in every phrase you say. For example, "She like totally went to the store, and like got some totally grodie milk."
Use the words "totally" or "way" in place of the words "very," "really" or anywhere in the sentence where it can add some emphasis. For example, "The milk is way creamy and is way too grodie to drink."
Get used to being annoyed with people who are not as cool as you are. If someone asks you to do something you don't want to do, is doing something you don't approve of or is flat out wrong, respond with "as if." For example, "You want me to like go to the store and like buy some milk? As if!"
Add that little something extra to any refusal or negative statement by including the words "duh" or "what-ever." Be sure to pause slightly between "what" and "ever." For example, "Duh! Why would you get grodie whole milk? What-ever, that is the worst milk ever."
Fill in any empty moments with the words "so," "OK," "you know" or "something." These words don't add too much to the meaning of what you're saying, but you definitely sound like a valley girl.
Learn the different words for things that are good or bad. Some words that mean good or great include: awesome, bonus, classic, excellent, gnarly, killer, major, rad, stoked and sweet. Some words that mean bad or gross include: barf, bogus, buggin, gag me with a spoon, grodie, no way and sketchy.
Rent some movies like "Clueless" or "Wayne's World" to hear how a valley girl talks. Listen to the way the words are used and the emotions behind them. When you're feeling ready, take the plunge and start speaking it in public.
Practice makes perfect. The more you practice, the better you'll get at talking like a valley girl. If you sound like a poser at first, take a chill pill. You'll be rad soon enough, for sure.
