Idle is used OTI to refer to the state of your computer after it goes without use for a certain period of time. When you are idle on IRC, it is customary to change your nick to nick+AFK, nick|Away or some similar variant. If you don't do this, you will come back five hours later to ten million messages. If everyone in a channel is idle, a luser might think that chat isn't working.
