I use "..." to indicate when a sentence kind of trails off, as if it wasn't really finished. So for me, it's punctuation rather than an actual line of "dialogue." Personally, I find it kind of silly when people write "..." to convey the point that their characters is silent rather than actually typing something more descriptive explaining that their character is silent.
When someone types "..." I usually assume they are done with their post and don't wait for another. But it's kind of a peeve of mine when people post numerous one-liners with no unambiguous ending point rather than posting all the information in one paragraph, or even adding in a dash or a -c- so I know they're not done typing between posts.
