Why Use "Invisible" Mode

Obviously anyone following a thread here can see people are trying to remain "Invisible" .. But to anyone who folows a post it is blatant thay have chose "Invisible" mode in the forum CP.

Just wondering why ?

Because one hates to admit how much time one wastes on forums.

That, and a simple desire for privacy.

Embarrassment? Lack of self-confidence? Who knows?
Don't worry about it too much... (In other words, I don't know either). :D

My system is on 24/7 doing updates and scans in the middle of the night.

I usually have about 5 tabs open in addition to working on one or two programs and I rarely close the tabs or shut down Firefox.

Revealing my status would reflect that I am on every minute of every day even when I am across town.

Those are my reasons. Like wanting to be able to go invisible while in world, there are likely many more.

I never knew there was Invisible mode.

Like Brad, my computer is on all the time and I almost always have one or more tabs open to the Forums. If I look like a Forum junky, well there are worse things in life.
:p

You have to go into the "User CP" and check " I Try To Hide" .. box ..

Does'nt happen by default .

My Pooter is on 24/7 .. just not logged into SL.

My green dot is always on for you, Lana. :)


Funny thing is I never noticed the green dot. I've only noticed status when looking at peoples profiles.

I set up my account shortly after I first came to SL and promptly forgot about the settings. I just went to see what they were and found I've been a forum ghost for over 4 years.

I'm not actually logged into SL (inworld) 24/7, but I am pretty much always logged into the website and forums.

How can you tell someone's invisible? Do you have to try to find them? Do you see their gray facelights in the Windlight threads? (^_^)
