BigMick Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) When you look at the online list at the bottom of the page there are normally members online anonymously,it baffles me,i cant imagine why anyone would be online and not want others to know that they are online. Any members that do this can you explain why? i honestly dont understand it. Edited March 20, 2011 by BigMick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 i find its good if you want to look on the forum without being bomarded by pm's just because your online, often shortly after making some one angry intentional or not) also a good way for mod to keep track of the forum without being hassled or people behaving just because they are online (this one is most fun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 it's a slippery slope...it starts with "them" knowing that you are frequenting a popular RC forum and ends with you having an implant inserted into a sensitive area just so "they" can keep tabs on us all I've always suspected the mods and especially that admin fella of being government pawns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henzy190 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 i find its good if you want to look on the forum without being bomarded by pm's just because your online, often shortly after making some one angry intentional or not) also a good way for mod to keep track of the forum without being hassled or people behaving just because they are online (this one is most fun) got it in a nutshell. although again, one problem with this is you don't know which mod to pm if something happens because they all seem offline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
