People are away?

Alot of people have been setting their accounts to gone, just becouse it hides them from who's online. It's really stupid and im suprised it's not been delt with yet. Why can't people just use the "Hide from who's online" feature? It's way easier and a lot less eratating.


Thoughts?
what the hell?
hey you're here-yet-not-here bey!!!
also im pretty sure setting your account to away doesn't hide you from who's online
Its not the feature, its the people using it to not be on the who's online while they can just click to not bge displayed. Every time i log in, and i make a post, someone will reply and i'll be all "WTF, when did they log in? And no one hidden is online either".

EDIT: Apparently it does, and thank you for being un-away, brad.

how would you know if a hidden user was online
Maybe you're just getting irritated over something menial? It's possible that your complaint is a worthless one and you're the only one who feels this way.

i thought i'd set myself to here again, but i hadn't. oops. fixed now

when i posted it showed the orange icon like normal for me so i hadn't noticed
oh no! someone has RED under their post instead of ORANGE OR BLACK I AM SO MAD
It'll say, like, "10 users online (2 hidden)"
Do you want us to change a decent feature because it personally irritates you?

Some people do not want their name listed when they're online. I am on the hidden list because I don't like it when people start PMing me just because they see me online. I was using it for a while when I wasn't posting and decided to keep it that way. Every single message board has this feature.

You're the worst poster.
What the hell.

You're getting warned for this.
