Members DaveW Posted April 28, 2017 Members Share Posted April 28, 2017 Always makes me laugh when I look at the "people on line" stats and see anonymous users. I wonder what they have to hide. Makes me laugh even more when they post whilst anonymous and think people won't notice that they are not listed by name despite having OBVIOUSLY (by their posts) been online. Does make me less inclined to trust them too. But mostly gives me a chuckle. No Nicolaitans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members No Nicolaitans Posted April 28, 2017 Members Share Posted April 28, 2017 Guilty as charged. However, I do have a reason...though the reason has changed now, and being anonymous isn't needed on my part any longer...I guess it became habit, and I haven't kicked the habit yet. Hehehe. Some time back, there was a member who would send me private messages if they saw I was online. So the easiest way for me to cope with that at the time was to "not be online". Shady? Yes. Underhanded? Maybe. Did it work? YES! LOLOLOL! Since it's no longer needed, I will remove my "hidden" status...unless I start getting messages again. LOL!

I only log in when I want to make a post. And then there's new visitors to this site who haven't decided whether they want to create an account yet...

There is an option to be anonymous which is a deliberate choice that someone makes - logged in but name not showing. There are legitimate reasons, as NN pointed out.

Had no idea about that option. Maybe I'd use it if I owed another forum member money.
