I'm starting to fail to see the practical use in idling for hours on end. All it does is add to your hours (which really don't matter), but what else? I really don't see any other uses. You can't talk to these people, because 95% of the time, they're not at their computers. No harm in having to move every 15/25 minutes, whatever the kick-off time is, 20/30 minutes.

Although MMT has been fairly empty for a while, I wouldn't want to see it cluttered with idlers that serve no purpose being there.

I would say remove idling completely, or keep it to Bomb Trade.
I don't really wanna side either way. Idling can help the server out, and hurt the server. Players will think you are on and try and message you and log off in furry.. but on the other hand old players finally see your online, and they start playing again. I have had this happen to me with a couple old friends what quit playing and came back.

Just depends on how you want to look at it.
