Do you use the invisible mode?

WAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAA!

I lurk in the shadows of Darkness waiting for the opportunity to strike! I like stalking people as well, so the cover of Darkness aids me in this goal without being seen - unless it's a moderator in which case I'm pretty sure they can see me anyway V___V

I only use it when I am on vacation or away from the computer for a certain amount of time.

Sometimes I use it when I've been on PC for an age, but want to continue browsing without people judging me for being on too long. But then I realise a few minutes into it that mods can still see me... so it doesn't last too long!

Although I'm not in it right now, and this is very odd for me, I am almost always invisible in online communities as well as on Msn and Skype and the like. I'm not trying to avoid anyone of hide from them, I just don't like the idea of being seen, although I'm aware that mods can do this anyway. It's really hard to explain but yes, I use invisible mode very regularly and it's one of my favorite features of vBulletin forums.

Aaaaaaaand with that, I'm going invisible again. x)

I don't see a big use for Invisible mode usually because every staff member down to the mods can see you. :/

I do use it if I don't want to be randomly messaged, but I so rarely get messages anyway this isn't a problem because I let PC idle me out rather than wasting resources by auto-reloading the page, unless I'm intentionally watching a thread like a hawk for some reason or another.

Well . . . I used to use it back when I was all shy and introverted and stuff. I sort of lurked around the forums, and it suited me to be invisible.

Nowadays - unless I've accidentally left it on since 2009 without realising - I never use it at all. There's just no need for it now. I like being online, and being visible. Suits me just fine to be a green light rather than a grey one.

There are times when I go on invisible (such as now) when I don't really feel like having people see me online. Of course, this doesn't include the other mods because they can see me anyways, but it's more towards the regular members who can't see whether I'm online or not. Usually I don't feel like having them see me when I have a lot of work to do, or I'm not in a pleasant mood so cutting down even more so on the little amount of VMs I get helps a little.

I think I'm always in invisible mode xD Last time, I forgot to turn it off for more than a month I think. And when I turned it off, people saw when I was online and for some reason I found that annoying. So I turned it on again xD I iz ninjaah

Very very rarely when I didn't want to be seen by members. Usually if I don't want to be noticed, though, I'll just log onto my old account. Which is on invisible mode to avoid members. XD;

As a mod, I don't like using invisible mode, because I want members to know when I'm on. That way they can PM me or whatever.

I'll make a proper signature when Pokecommunity gets a proper slogan

I used to use invisible mode on older forums that I visited, because I mainly got on those ones just to talk to a few people, so I didn't want random people messaging me.

On PC though, I have never used it because I want people who may want to chat with me to know that they can. :) Besides, I also want my friends to know that I am on so they can know when to message me. XD

I've never used it - oh wait. I did that one time when... xD

Besides that, I don't use it. I was a bit elusive back when I joined PC (wouldn't look around posts or profiles), but now that I've been here for a while I don't mind if my light is green. I actually kinda like it. You never know who you'll meet or if someone wants to talk to you :D

I'll only switch to invisible mode if I feel someone's stalking me. Otherwise I stay visible so members know when I'm on.

I use the invisible mode if I want to check up on previous posts or if I just don't feel like talking to anyone on the forum. I also use it for stalking and spying on the Mods B)
