No but if I ever feel I am being stalked here I will start doing it.

I been stalked on others forums and feel could be why a lot of people tend to do it.
 
Yes, a couple of reasons why.

1) I am often doing other things such as attending to earning a living, and have Ispy in the background and click on interesting postings when I have time, or when they pique my interest, and often have the same tabs open for long while. Previously before I started setting my status to invisible, I have been accused of ignoring or blowing off a response, when in fact I was otherwise occupied, and in some instances not even in the same room or even the same building anymore.

the major reason why is the next one though:

2) after I set it to invisible initially due to reason #1, I would tend to forget about changing it back, and basically as time went on I just was not sufficiently compelled to continue to be bothered with keeping tabs on whether I was or was not visible

DP has a stealth mode?

In answer to the poll: No.
 
I do it because I'm a freakin' demon.
 
I don't. I guess that means that if someone is paying attention, they may think I'm on the same thread for hours, when I'm really off doing something else.
I usually don't even notice who else is on.
 
I've never surfed in stealth mode.
 
I don't. I can't be bothered to go through the effort of having to remember my password.

You can do it without logging out through your control panel.
 
No, I don't use invisible mode. When you see a "@" sign and no time after "Last Seen" for a user that means that user is in invisible mode. Their light will not glow green either when their online . Their monikers will not show in polls either. Cowards.

If your light is 'red' you are invisible.

I don't know how to go invisible. Didn't know it was an option for everyone. I thought it was only for people who donate.

You can change your preferences via your Control Panel and then under "My Account" then "General Settings". :)
 
Didn't know you could.
 
I'm never in stealth mode here.
