I was poking around here and looked at the "Users Online" section and was blown away by the amount of people that hide their status.

*In total there are 218 users online :: 15 registered, 146 hidden and 57 guests (based on users active over the past 5 minutes)*

So, who does? And why?

I didn't even know that there is an option to hide the online status.

Why would I do that?

Nope...

I never hide my status, dont see any point in doing that.

Why would I do that?

Not done so, and not planning to; plus, tech support and ranks higher can see all the hidden and unhidden people.

Also, I believe the reason people actually tick it is because they click it along with 'Log me automatically each visit' instinctively.

No point what so ever

Why would I do that?

never do...who actually watches the bottom waiting for "sobe121" to pop up ._.

 

one time ive seen about 300 or so hidden online................

tech support and ranks higher

 

isn't tech sup like the lowest possible?

 

OT - Never done, and doubt I will.

I doubt people even read that, they probably just click that too when they see "Remember me" or whatever it says...

people click it to be mainstream

isn't tech sup like the lowest possible?

I would think reg mod would be.

 

No point whatsoever in doing it.

No. Just No.

It is odd that people that do hide their session status haven't replied or said why, even though 2 have voted.

Going ninja ! >_<

 

And yeah, I did voted.
