An observation from immersing myself in Gibberbot for several days. My antenna on my phone isn't that great, and my phone often loses and regains connection. GB successfully reconnects all the time - but everytime it does, my phone vibrates and I get a status notification. (If I had it off silent, it would probably make noise.) This is exceedingly annoying because everytime it happens I have to pull out my phone and see if it was a reconnect or a message received.

I know the opposite of 'Good User Interface' is 'More Options!' but it'd be really cool if I could get rid of notifications upon connection - either as an option or as a default.
