do you use invisible mode?

[isus]

i was just wondering how many people use invisible mode so that nobody can tell when they are online. heh.

**oopsies, thats backward. the "mwahaha" part should be with the yes, not the no. can a mod fix that for me? sorry :-P

[mojo-ris-in]

Fixed and Yes

[Sockfulloflove]

nope.

[Rickio]

Of course I do. lol

[TC75580]

no. I honestly never knew it existed.

I won't use Invisible Mode in the future though, because as long as there is a feature telling who's online, I think it's deceiving (some may say stealthy :devil) to use Invisible Mode. Might as well discard the who's online feature, since it is highly inaccurate.

OK, maybe my reasoning isn't completely solid, as people do have the option to opt out of things like a telephone book for privacy, after all. I just don't think anyone should have reason to hide their online status.

[Rahwgwar]

Yeah I'm with TC....I don't see the need for it. Maybe I'm too thick-skulled, but I don't see the purpose in doing this, besides the obvious. Anyone care to explain? I like to know when people are online as it gives me a better idea of how fast they'll reply to a PM. I don't browse "invisibly" because I like to do give the same service to other people. I don't mind if they see if I am browsing the forums.

If it were a privacy matter....well, let's just say, I wouldn't be posting here at ZP in the first place.

[cpugeniusmv]

why use it? you all know i'm always online anyway lol.

[serrebi101]

I have never, ever used it, ever, on any forum, including zp.

[Nothingface5384]

i never use it either..really no point in it...unlesss your a true zp lurker lol

hi rickio!!! whats up d00d

[PowerMan57two]

No I don't use it either. I don't see the point if it. I guess it's to be mysterious and strange. LoL j/k, ... hey I like strange people. were all strange in our own way

[vipp]

Yes, I remain invisible. Always do on forums. But it's not so that "nobody can tell where I am online", because there are quite a few that can still see that even with the invisible status. *wink*

[Nooby Doo]

I'm invisible right now. "I'm the invisible noob hee hee, no one can see me haha, I'm the... oh crap, it's wearing off. I knew I should have worn some underwear. :ass

[reg]

... sometimes i do ... not sure why, though ... maybe i love the intrigue of incognitoness ... :devil

[Evil_Dweller_01]

No...what's the point?

[Induna]

I use it stealth mode, I've always felt uncomfortable seeing my name up there^^^

thanks :)

[Crazy Horse]

As a mod sometimes we need to be "invisible" but I find it annoying when I'm trying to see if Hunters around ..lol

[Greylin]

The only time I use stealth mode is when I'm dropping screwdrivers into cpu's case.

[begoodbebad]

what is the point?
I dont sneak around outside peoples houses at night either (ok maybe now and then at weekends and full moons)

For the same reason people use the visible option. Because I want to.

[Lamourlady]

yes, i do.
just in case someone sees me reading a real dopey thread or something.
i just dunno.
just for shits and giggles.....i think i'll try the whole "visible" thing.
i think it has to do with seeing my name up there as well.
i'm a "behind-the-scenes" sort a gal.

[TC75580]

about mods using invisible mode...

Immediately I thought that was without good reason, since seeing a mod present could easily make intentional troublemakers think twice before posting if they look. However, after another second of thought, I realized that since mods cannot be omniprescient due to human needs such as sleep, it'd be better if they were not visible at all. That way, the mischievous ones will never know.

Just my minor musings for those who thought invisible mode had no purpose whatsoever.

[Caitlyn Marble]

I use it. I like to be hidden, even if I have no good reason.

[MoonMan]

No I don't use it because I do not give a shit. So what if you can see my name on the "Who's Online?" page anyway. Now I can see why some people put themselves to invisible if they get badgered by newbies as soon as they are seen online.

[MusikBeatz23]

nope, there's no need for it...

[ATLien]

Of course i do........do you see me, now?

[Kyle06]

Ha NEVER lol what is the point no one here talk's to me anyway unless they are wanting into the hub lol

I talk to people in the DC Hub

Feel free to PM me lol

I will respond

other wise nope never used it lol never saw the point I am not hiding from anyone...


oh shit here come's mom

!me is hiding

:-)

[Kevin06906]

No, i don't use invisible mode. I don't see the need for the use of it either. When i first came to zeropaid, i put it on because i felt special being anonymous or something, i don't know lol.

[-0-BACKLASH-0-]

Nope. I think the mods can always see who's online, so you're never truly invisible.

[cpugeniusmv]

/me slips past unnoticed

[ZzHYBRIDzZ]

i didnt know it even existed either
