What's with these "away at the moment" profiles?

How does that happen?

It's deleting a profile with the intent of returning. One of the options in the deletion process.

@TwiddlerofThumbs So it's like a "hey everybody, I'm leaving Facebook" type of thing?
@CANDAULISTHUSBAND Kind of - more of a "hey - Im gone for whatever reason I am and I might be back.

Its only a leaving facebook announcement if they announce it to everyone waiting for them to care before they do it, if they do it at all.

@CANDAULISTHUSBAND yeah. Or some people do it if they go on holiday...or know they will be inactive for a while.

@RubySoo Silly, I was inactive for a few weeks, like anyone would notice or care, lol.

@CANDAULISTHUSBAND i agree theres no need to but some people are just happier to do so. I guess at least their friends will know the person is away and not just ignoring them.

@RubySoo Makes sense.
