Why do people "hide" themselves on the org?

I noticed that there are FIVE people "hidden" right now...

Why do you hide?

Lurk is a fine mode to be in... nothing too clandestine in that... HIDING on the other hand is funny to me.

That is true too... MAAAN, I didn't even think of that, due to the auto-login cookie...

There are also those who log in and then "hide" themselves with that hide feature... that seems pretty fucking odd to me.

I wonder how many org members are on here right now, just trying to check up on people... not logging in because they don't want to be "seen" checking on things...

Hmmm...

A damned good point, Carrie!!!

Yeah... when you're in lurk mode it shows you as "hidden". Whatever that option is in privacy anyway...

Me too, but then I am a spy for NPGMC.

If you all send me loads of beer I might consider becoming a double agent! 8)
Some people are like Slinkies...

They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Because they dont want people to know they spend just as much time on the org as the rest of us...they hide their addiction.

Excellent! You have seen the errors of your ways and have come back to our beloved flock!

But, seriously...

Why do people hide? You can still post... the only thing that I can think of is that you won't get orgnotes...

So, guys... what's up?

Speaking for myself, I'm usually too drunk to remember wether I'm lurking or not. redface

I am not really sure why people lurk. I doubt if there is some hidden agenda involved. I think they just want alone time.

You must have lurked too at some time Icenine. big grin

Nope... no lurking...

I just pop on and do my thing... People don't really bother me much at all... it is fun.

I was just wondering what the differences are with "hide" mode and normal.

You can't see people who are "hiding," but they can post and recieve orgnotes and chat and such... so people hide just so nobody will actively send them orgnotes?

I don't think it is to prevent getting orgnotes. You can still get orgnotes from freinds etc. I think it has more to do with wanting to just hang out and read the Org rather than actively participating.

Ahhh... but can't you do that while logged in?

Well, that is cool though... I guess I understand now.

You've been hiding behind the face of that horrible moster for far too long, IceNine.

Perhaps one day you will let the whole world see that you really look like the evil-bad-guy who killed Brandon Lee in 'The Crow'...
