I been thinking of this for a while now and felt it was time to suggest this.
Now it may have already been mentioned, I don't know, but here goes.
Now I know alot of forum and chattish places feature this.
How about a Hidden or Offline status for when we log on? Some people would like to just pop on for a few without being flooded with IM's or just wander till they feel their ready to talk with other people then at their leisure contact whatever friends they like. (like yahoo and a few other things around te net). Another thing how about a feature where you can turn off whether or not a person can just pop up wherever you are? I do alot of Shop bounceing and there are just times I don't want anybody to follow me around, or im just hanging with a friend and someone just desides to jump in because they felt like it, it would just be a fairly nice feature to have, you know?

You're not alone in your thoughts+feelings, Koneko. This, better privacy and status controls, aka "show as offline", is one of "THE GREAT EPIC SECOND LIFE QUESTIONS!" And the answer... is underway.

/139/4a/94798/1.html

So on and soforth!

And what is the official statement of progress thus far?

Within this:

Have a fantastic day--and hopefully in the not-too-distant-future, a more subtle day where you aren't pounced upon!
