halfpenny Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 do members sit on the forum anonymously? serious question I really don't understand...If your a member why not just come on your among friends after all. This is not meant to be controversial or having a poke at anyone, I can understand Mods so they can just observe but not us ordinary folks. I am curious...........polite answers only please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzeanna Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 erm...paranoid people sitting there to see if others are talking about them? people who have said they'll never come on the forum again for whatever reason but can't resist having a peek? people who want to speak to someone without someone else knowing they've been on? erm..... don't know really!

snow Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 On the other hand they could be popular people with loads of friends on the forum or on one of the instant messenger progs who want a bit of quiet time without wanting to offend people by saying "I don't want to talk to you right now" - it's all well and good not turning on your messenger or signing in to that "invisible" but if you then show up logged into a forum it reveals that you are indeed online after all. Everyone is entitled to some quiet time or personal space but not everyone is respectful of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACKYSIAN Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I come on as anonymous when I'm on my mobile, just cos it's too expensive to reply (and to bloody annoying to type on a mobile!!) and I don't want people to think I'm being rude when they see I'm here but not replying to anything!!

cycas Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 If you are supposed to be doing something for someone and you are feeling terribly guilty because you haven't done it yet but are frivolling on a forum instead, and you know you really should get on with it but instead are reading RMF? Not that I've ever done that. Honestly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
