Going Invisible
Quit going invisible, you scaredy-cats!!! What is everyone so friggin' fearful of, that they feel they must cloak themselves here on the Moot? I cannot tell you how much it annoys me when key mooters and RPG players insist upon going invisible. What are you all trying to avoid?
Comments will be enormously appreciated. Auto-Lock of this new thread will be considered highly suspect. If you auto-padlock this thread I will be forced to assume that there is a conspiracy of sorts afoot amonst us Mooters. *eyes shift paranoically back and forth.* WHY the cloak!? If you wish to remain anonymous, just don't register, and / or don't log in. Why the secrecy?

If I don't have enough time to post properly but still wanna know if something is going on, I just don't log in and take a quick look, so I know whom & what I should answer later. That's how it works for me...

ExACTly that's how it works 4 me, too. But there's a fine, healthy handful of Mooters whom I enjoy a lot and like a lot, and some of them I RPG with, and these guys STILL want to cloak!!! What's the fascination with it? What, you guys don't want anyone else knowing you're online, when they are? I just does not make sense to me. Why the big to-do with freakin' secrecy; we're not trying to converge on covert group technology on the latest neutron bomb innovation!!!! Knock it off I say. Dammit.

I know; I hate that! I love to log on and see my friends' names - I feel like it's kind of like I'm saying "hi" to them across the wires, and then I can look for their posts and such, or drop them a quick PM or something.
I made a discussion on the venting thread on this a coupla years ago, and actually converted a few people.

I don't really know how to do it, not that I have ever needed it.
Agree with Lotesse though, why don't stay uncloaked? It's cool to be a ninja, but, that's a little bit over the top

I remember those vents of yours Rian.
![]() I sneak around here because most of the time, when I come on, I just come on to read some posts quickly, maybe reply if something new has to be said, and then exit. I strike in the light but my elven cloak shades me. Mooters are confused. ![]() Seriously though, when I come on with the intention of leaving in ten minutes, I feel really bad when someone PMs me or expects a conversation with me in a thread. I wind up having to tell people "I'm too busy for you," and that's the truth but I hate saying it because people hate hearing it. So I avoid them instead. In RL I behave in a similar fashion, but I can't imagine that BoP does. (?)

I'm a full-time administrator, and a post-grad student.... yeah, I'm too busy for people. You just need to perfect that thunderous don't-****-with-me look.
