Handle checks
AIM-style names, ICQ-era numbers, IRC nicks, and bridge accounts collected into one calm signal.
Vintage presence / future maybe
imstatuscheck .com
A status board for old messenger handles: online, away, idle, offline, and the tiny moods between them.
Online

What could be
The old buddy list, cleaned up.
imstatuscheck.com could turn classic messenger identity into a clean, embeddable presence layer: a place to see whether legacy handles are online, idle, away, invisible, or simply part of the archive.
Badge-ready status
Compact public badges for profiles, blogs, forums, and handmade homepages that still care who is online.
Away-message memory
Optional status notes, idle streaks, and presence history shaped like a living archive instead of a dashboard chore.
Presence preview
A familiar ritual, less noise.
Crisp status dots, readable profiles, quiet motion, and just enough bitmap nostalgia to make a buddy list feel current.

Signal language
Tiny states, oversized nostalgia.
Visible
Public, current, and ready to be shown on a profile.
Away
The classic middle ground: not gone, just elsewhere.
Idle
A quiet timestamp for tabs, terminals, and desk phones.
Archived
Still part of the graph, even when the client is asleep.
