If you switch users, you're putting your computer to sleep. Don't switch users if you want to be kept on away message on AIM.

If you want to be kept on away message set up your laptop to 'never sleep' mode so that way it wont ever sign off on you. It'll constantly be on all night, until you sign off of course.
