Who looks at the "Who's Online?"

[Switch Kicker]

Who here looks at the "Who's Online" normally when they log on? Like, if you're just logging on to check a quick topic, you might not. But who normally does when they're getting on to browse the forums?

And for those of you who do... who here will actually sign back off if they see someone they don't like?

I answer no to both of those questions.

Idk, just a question that came to mind when I decided to see who's online a bit ago. =)

I always look at who is online. I never change my behavior because of it unless it's to go into chat and post an invitation for other people to join me. Why would someone sign off because they don't like someone else on the forum? Just don't talk with them?

[slapdash21]

haha seriously, this is a forum not a chat room.
i DO always check who's online just for curiousity's sake, or like mox said if i see someone i particularly want to talk to i might pm them or post in chat now.

sometimes when i make a particularly inflammatory post with a specific person in mind and i see them in the who's online thing i just smile to myself>hit refresh>rpt until i see that they were the last one to post in the specific section im watching.

It's just a question Moxie. Not an accusation, or suggestion. lol.

Ditto.

I scroll to the bottom of the page, and if I see someone online that I had something to say to, I PM them. I also look to see if someone is on Chat. But I would not sign off or something if someone was on here that I wouldn't like....

I never look, I don't care and this topic is so pointless I'm shocked I'm actually responding to it.

Yeah, and so are half the other posts on Modified. You're smart one, aren't you.

Why do people insist on responding to a topic, by saying it's completely pointless? Because, THAT, would be pointless... I mean, it's not like I can (if I cared that is...) be like, "Oh, shit, you're right. Pointless, my bad. Let me unmake my topic. My apologies, won't happen again, land lord of Modified."

i only look if there is some one i am trying to contact.

[C-Fan]

I keep my status hidden, because I got tired of popping onto modified to check something, and then getting PMs asking me to chat.

[Skippy!]

I never get requests to chat.

[slapdash21]

yeah, thats another good question, who keeps their status hidden or doesnt even log in at all.
i dont even know HOW to keep my status hidden, though im sure i could figure it out if i tried. i've never bothered.

Nah... I enjoy the fact that when people see that I'm online... their day is ruined.

Kidding of course.

[hacksterbator]

i keep my status hidden because the paparazzi won't leave me alone. If i just show up it's all *flash*click*flash*flash*, so now i always come in through the kitchen in the back.
