dood, you don't need to attack me like that. I know taking a dump doesn't take this much time. Either way, being afk doesn't take much bandwidth or resources. standing still DOES keep chunks loaded, it DOES take up some bandwidth, but it isn't much of a hassle. most likely nothing is happening in these chunks worth mentioning (chunk updates) and it takes pretty much no data at all to keep someone connected to the server. I would guess around a few hundreds of Kib/s up/down unless people are around the afk player. keeping players vanished instead is much better because then they can (possibly) react if someone is asking for help.
