terribleturner Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 It's like a tiger hiding in the bushes before he pounces But only if he can exploit the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 What have you got to hide? Exactly, It bugs the feck out of me and it does seem as if people have someting to hide. I'm pleased you posted this Jamie as I was thinking that certain members were simply sneeking on to the forum for a quick post and then signing off 2 seconds later.

JamieP Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Just out of curiousity, why does it bother you? Im bored, its raining and all my work is outside:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Just out of curiousity, why does it bother you? And out of curiosity Doug but why do people do it. After all, someone has purposely gone out of their way to disconnect the facility. I can understand it in cases of covert moderator special operations tasks though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Any reason? just so I can stealth it around the forums and chip in when needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Why do people hide there online status?? Cos they're all bastards! There are a couple of reasons actually. This PC is usually on 24/7. My home page is http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/search.php?do=getnew but I'm not the only user of this PC. So it would show me as on here even when I'm not (even though I usually am ) Also, some people seem to be allergic to waiting for a reply to their question or starting new threads of their own, and if they see you on-line will PM something that would be better asked in a thread.

Class One Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 And out of curiosity Doug but why do people do it. After all, someone has purposely gone out of their way to disconnect the facility. I can understand it in cases of covert moderator special operations tasks though It's an option, some people use it others don't. But the mods can see who is online anyway. Some people like to surf the forums but do so privately. Others do it because they used to get bombarded with pm's all the time. I didn't even realise it was an option for about a year! The same could be said as to why it's an option on msn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I use the hidden mode for similar reasons to Jake. I am always online but not always in front of the machine. I dont wish to appear rude or as if I am ignoring folks so I feel it works better for me this way. I really struggle to see why anyone else would be annoyed by it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
