Hidden Online

[Sam1]

Are you hidden on a forum whilst you're online ever? I never do this..... But I have seen some people do it and want to understand why....

 

[flame]

no i have never gone hidden - and i have to say that an awful lot of the people who do go hidden (which i can see as admin) are of rather nefarious purposes

 

[xpl0iter]

never done it! I don't see the point. I go invisible a lot on my IMs like gtalk, msn, skype etc!

I don't see the point in doing so. To me, I just think it means that person is doing something shady lol.

Funny Haze, cause the person who does it is Shady of AdminForums.org

That is so wrong lol

I do it on boards that I only lurk at. It is out of guilt/shame for benefiting from their forum with no contribution from me.

I do when I'm lurking forums, or doing behind the scene work when I don't want members talking to me,

I disable the ability to log on as hidden. Everywhere.

Why's that?

I do think about doing it for that reason but for myself, I like people to know I am available to talk too if you know what I mean. If I was busy or I didn't want people talking to me I would just log off cause then it is total silence for myself (As I know hidden does that too) but that is just how I think. I see what you mean though. xD

Like if I am doing admin work, and do not want to be put off track, that is what I mean by members talking to me

 

[Martee]

Ah right, well I just tend to do admin stuff whilst talking to people is all. I guess it does depend what you are doing though.

Why's that?

So that way, everyone sees more Members online, making the website look slightly more populated.
