Haven't you ever been so concentrated with building that you get distracted by someone signing off in your Contacts, and then wonder [for a moment] "who just signed off? -_-"? It would be a handy option (for me, at least) to have a notification message in the Chat History window. This should be optional of course.

or have the name in the contact list highlighted, italicized, or turn gray
for a few seconds, kinda like what many Instant Messengers do.. so when
someone signs off all you have to do is see which name is
highlighted/italicized/grayed

Nah I think having them visible in chat would be better (or MSN+ style in a
listbox)

Well, if it's going to be added as something to show up in the chat text, I would think it would be best if that was optional since not everyone would want those announcements in their chat all the time... especially if they have a large contact list. On the other hand, a change in color, intensity, or some other cisial aspect of the actual entry in your contacts list could be left on all the time without being much of a bother... whether the announcements in chat are turned on or off.

In other words... we wouldn't necessarily have to settle for just one or the other, but if the announcements in chat are added, they should devinately be "optional".

I think the easiest way would be to add just the announcements in chat, with no option to switch them on or off. I would definately NOT recommend this though, but it may be worth considering as a first step toward something better.
