I have occasionally. Sometimes it's nice to just lurk quietly. Then again, that was back when I was minimally popular. :P

I have nothing to hide, therefore the answer is no :-s.

I concur. We must lynch him now for the sake of the metagame, we MUST teach people that they can't go around claiming "anniversary" and expect leniency. Topsummoner.

Never. I don't really care whether people hide their online status though. Admins can still see them anyway :shifty:

The second you start posting, people know your here. Don't see any real point to it, so no.

Even if you hide your online status, the last time visit spot in your profile gets updated which can spoil it.

No it doesn't Dark.

If you hide your online status, the box will eventually turn to saying

Trust me, I hide my status enough. :wink: If you check my profile in about 2 days it will say that it doesn't know when I last visited, but I will prob be online everyday.

And its a long story; a year today the Legends started their themed months. It started with Pink Month, where everyone who could see the Legends forum turned their font, signature, avatar and smilies pink. Us Staff Members can't see this forum, yet every other ranked person, minus CC Mod's, could, so in rebellion we started to turn our font, signatures, avatars and smilies Orange. It.. uh.. created a lot of contraversy, and eventually having different coloured posts was banned by Hiker, but was removed later.
I guess its like tradition now. Though I think I'm the only one carrying on the Orange. xD

I don't hide my online status due to my rank. As Killa explained, mods and higher cannot hide their online status. Administrators can see people online who hide their status anyway. ;)

It's a handy feature if you are trying to avoid someone or just don't want to be bothered.

Always. I do that on every forum I ever register on, if the option is available.

I don't think I have ever hidden my online status, even before I was a mod. I don't see the point because if you are going to post, people will know you are online anyway.

No, due to my rank and the coupling question: why? I like to be able to help, and it wouldn't be very easy to lend help when you're virtually invisible.
