uarewotueat Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 why do u hide your online status? i dont see the point when people can just click the "whos online" tab at the top of the screen and see if your online, did i miss the point entirely? i dont hide my status but alot of people do...i just wondered if anyone had any particular reasons why 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eagle Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 I am always online with cable modem so if i am visable i could get IMed at anytime but i am not able to respond. My friends know the score and they are who count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyoiy Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 or they just hide themselves from their friends... yeah friends list.. i mean. hmmmm .. i only hide my online status on yahoo profile, coz i dont like ppl to click on the online sign and chat with me .... plus most ppl search for 'who on line now' ... so i wont show up in any list if they search for who currenty online.. catch me if u can :wink: ok here is the reasons that i can think of rite now 1. hides from ppl who added them into friends list (haha..) 2. hides from ppl who search for who online now 3. other wont know when they were online last time (hide from bf/gf eh?) 4. they just want to be invisible person... :arrow: sorry If i am online too much ... should I hide my tf online status? the bride of vampire :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeusbheld Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 my computer's always online both at work and at home. i had someone get pissed off at me shortly after i joined tf when they pm'd me and i didnt reply right away, so i dont want anyone assuming that i'm paying attention at any given time.

OutOfOrder Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 well, i do that when i'm not sitting in front of the screen... AS in, i used to set "AWAY" but appearantly - some ppl never believed I was really 'away'. And if i happen to come back to the table and reply - they assumed that i was always sitting at the table but pretended to be 'away' ... etc etc. sO i figured, Appear Offline would be a better deal :?
