While I do hate the timer, I don't want it to be removed. If I leave the computer, I always logout, it's just safer and less haste in the long run. The only time I only expectantly logout is either loosing connection, which can't be helped, or if I'm browsing another window whilst fishing. What I would suggest is that when you have 15 seconds until you auto logout, a little sound plays, kinda like the sound when you get a new message on Skype (although it would have to be different) warning you. This could be adjustable as an individual setting in the sound settings, so you can always have the option to hear it, even if you play with music off, sound effects off, area sounds off etc.
