"1 buddy, 1 hidden"?

[Paul]

OK, so I was looking down at the "Who's Online" thing at the bottom of the main page, and it said "1 buddy, 1 hidden".

What does "1 hidden" mean? If it means that you can hide from everybody, how do you do it?

you go to your forum settings i believe and choose to hide when you're online.

[Paul]

Oh OK thanks! Have a hooray!

Why would you need to hide when you're online? I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just curious.

[Paul]

idk I was just wondering...and I'm hiding (whoops, you got me ) right now.

That's what I don't get, Cassie. I mean, I can understand how that could be useful to an Admin or someone of the like, but I don't see why members would want to hide.

Handy for the trolls maybe {troll}

(yeah, was just an excuse to use that smiley {blush})

[bambigoddess]

Haha, I love it!

And good point, Matt. Even if you only said it to use the smiley.

[ChalyssaMuch]

maybe just to hide for kicks =]

Maybe to feel like a ghost and creep up on us? I found it funny that while Paul was quite obviously posting, it said he was 'Offline.'
It kinds of ruins the whole 'hiding' situation. {blink}
