chelle Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 All the "Anonymous" people logged into this web site. What's up with you lurkers hiding behind not only an avatar, but hiding completely from view? Quote
Doctorb Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Please, for your own good, drop all talk of "banning". You don't know the danger you're in. Quote

That is, remove the option "Do you want to be visible on the 'Who's Online' screen? " I see your point. Quote

How is the fact that people have chosen to keep themselves shielded impinging upon you in any way? Quote

klenke Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 ChucKwagon, Gristly Bear: I think Michelle was being facetious, something that was possibly lost on Scat Turd. Â Scat turd, in order to make it impossible to hide one's identity it would be required of Jon and Timmy to make this a site viewable only after logging in. For instance, I have another browser window open right now that happens to be on this thread. I'm not logged in in that browser. Disclaimer: the foregoing is a technical comment not intended to make myself serious or unserious about the subject matter of Ehmmic's initial post. Quote
chelle Posted December 8, 2003 Author Posted December 8, 2003 A little facetious perhaps, but sometimes it bothers me when I check to see who else is playing in this sand box at the moment and there are 4 registered users and 20 anonymous people. Quote

Â Maybe it is that weird feeling that you get that some one is watching you, but you don't know who? Â Quote

E-rock Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 I can just see him, grumpily and lazily removing himself from the couch and football to grace us all with his magnanimous presence... then return to his cheetos and vicarious living. Quote
allthumbs Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 you're right E-cock, in fact the late game is about to start on ESPN Quote
catbirdseat Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 Trask has always been invisible on the Who's Online screen, but he's not a lurker because he posts. You can pretty much assume that if he's at home, which he pretty much always is, that he's logged in. Quote

lancegranite Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 Does this mean I have to start wearing pants now? If so I'll take an early retirement. Quote
