Invisibile users
I have to ask... why do some of you decide to remain invisible users while posting?
Of course I can see all and whatnot, but I was curious as to why some of the regular posting members decide to use the invisible feature. If you don't want to explain it's cool.... I was just looking at the who's online page and noticed a few regulars were invisible (which of course remain nameless).

Well no one is invisible to me lol.
I was just curious (if members want to answer) why they use the invisible option.
It's under UserCP -> Edit optionsThen there's a checkbox to use it.Invisible mode allows you to browse the forums without appearing in the 'Currently Active Users' lists.
Use Invisible Mode
Use it or not I Could care less.... just wondering why....Email : webmaster (-at-) armageddononline (-dot-) org or click here.

MM
I thought the invisible feature was used by those who wanted to get a more accurate count on thread reads. In other words you can return to thread to read responses without it "counting" as a read statistic.
The Great and Powerful.....Of course I can see all and whatnot
Can you see me now?Well no one is invisible to me lol.

I use Invisible mode as a feeble attempt to elude freaks who might be browsing as guests. If I come on and sense a weird vibe, I don't post.
Plus I kind of enjoy that little "hidden" vibe. It feels safe and somehow cozier."The Alice-in-Wonderland nature of this pronouncement is not lost on me..."

You don't know how many women I have had intercourse with while being invisible. They all thought it was a poltergeist.

I'm invisible because sometimes I log in and leave my laptop unattended. I don't want someone to send me a pm thinking I will respond right away and get upset if I don't.. That and as uki so aptly put, I am a sneaky little witch.

Sometimes I'm logged in all day, but doing other things...cleaning, visiting other sites, job hunting. I don't want people to think I sit and stare at the index page all day long.

I'll give you my honest answer - I don't want people to know when I'm online, for how long I'm online and what threads are absorbing all of my attention. I don't want people to know how often I come on to check things out, or how long it takes me to make a post, or if I'm modifying a post. Originally Posted by MetalMilitia

Sometimes I do spend alot of time here and I don't want other people to know I'm screwing the pooch all day on this site (when I should be working). The shame."Gravity is a contributing factor in nearly 73 percent of all accidents involving falling objects"~ Dave Barry

Well.. if they are noting how long you've been on the site, then obviously they themselves have been on as long as you have, so they would be hypocrites to think the worse of you. Originally Posted by Freaked out

I think it's better to know that you're online so some members will know that you'll probably reply immediately to some discussion.
