Show Online Status?

[Brovo]

Do you show your online status, or not? Why or why not?

If you do show your online status, do you also show which pages you're viewing at any given time?

 

[Greenie]

I show my online status but not what I'm reading. I like some sort of privacy ^_^

>.>
<.<

Plus I'd rather not be seen as a creepy stalker.

 

[Boba Fit]

I don't remember what I set mine to. I don't really care what people see me viewing. I leave the webpage open on my laptop all day, so even when I'm "online" I'm not really online.

Plus I have a schedule of when I reply to RP's and messages about RP's. So even if I am online, I won't respond to someones RP until the usual time. Evening and night is when I respond to RP. Daytime is for Chat RP, Gen chat, Cbox, and just talking.

Very rarely am I in the mood to respond to things during the day. I don't care if people see what I am viewing though.

 

[Dipper]

Complete privacy for me. Not that anyone would care what I'm doing, but it feels more secure.

 

[Touch of Insanity]

I flip back and froth from showing when I'm actually online to when I'm not. It honestly depends on how social I'm feeling that day. Though I believe I have my settings set so people can't see what I'm viewing.

 

[Gwazi Magnum]

I show when I'm online and what I'm viewing.

Why? I just don't really care about privacy.

 

[Sirona]

well now it's off I guess
it wasn't a setting I ever messed with until now

 

[Shiri]

I have it off. It makes me feel secure. I've had the unfortunate experience of being hounded on a different roleplay site.

 

[Diana]

I always hide on invisible. o___o People bother mess less when they're not 100% sure if I'm still there. 8D

Say the mods can see where members go right? I remember when I was a mod elsewhere on a vBulletin forum that I could.

 

[Shadon Xarian]

Mines set to both (I'm pretty sure) I like it for convenience purposes. It's so I can tell if someone's replying/going to bed/doing other things. That way I'm not just waiting an hour for nothing when I could be sleeping/whatever.

 

[Hana]

I used to show when I'm online, but never what page I'm viewing. Now I don't because I pop in when I want to and members can just tell when I'm there by that. ^^;

 

[Greenie]

I used to keep myself completely invisible on other sites so that no one knew how much of a life I don't have. >.> Now I don't care as much. ^_^

 

[ᴛᴏᴄᴋᴀ]

I show mine, most of the time. Usually if I go invisible it's because I'm in a mood and I don't feel like dealing with anyone.

 

[Mu]

Say the mods can see where members go right? I remember when I was a mod elsewhere on a vBulletin forum that I could.

Only some mods can.

I show that I'm online all the time, but not what I'm doing. It's just kind of awkward, I used to show what I was doing and it was just too much stalker bait > >

 

[Turtle of Doom]

I show I'm online but not what I'm viewing. Seems to be better that way. *nods*

 

[Jorick]

I forgot there was even an option to choose not to show what you're currently viewing. Apparently mine is set to show online but not current activity, which is what I would have set it to upon checking the settings if it had not already been done by past Jorick. GJ past Jorick.

I used to go fully invisible, but now I show online status so people with questions and whatnot can see I'm online if they need help. I hide the current activity because nobody needs to see who I'm currently stalking, whether it be for my own amusement or for security purposes.
