Do you use the hiding online status feature?

This is a feature allot of forums have at the moment and I was wondering how many people use it. I personally don't use it but occasionally I will.

So far I haven't used it anywhere, but I recon it can be handy sometimes

I never use the 'hide online' status for my profile. Its always good to be online and let people know that I am more active on threads and posts.

I never use it because members may need to contact me on the community (I'm staff there so). 😛

if you post, it gives it away that you're online anyways. 😛

I don't normally use it because I want members to be able to see when I am online to make it easier to contact me.

I've only used this once and it was when there was a problem member online on a forum I help on. I was trying to see if he would cause trouble when no one was online too.

I use it on FP, but I am thinking about turning it off!

I've used it quite a bit, but not too much anymore. It comes in handy when you need to catch up on PM's or just want to lay low for a while without having anyone bug you. 😛

I don't use it, I find no need for me to use it on my forum. 🙂

I don't use it either, no point for me, really.

I never use it on forums I am a member of as I find no use for it, but I have used it on my forum before. We had this long bout of problematic members/trolls and when it looked like I was not online some of their antics stopped and they wouldn't PM/email/etc me. I see that occasionally some members of my forum use that feature too.
