What is the purpose of hiding your name when on SH are you ashamed of being on here or are you hiding from certain people that you know on SH that you don't want to know you are there. Just thought I would ask.
I don't even know how to hide my name on here - I've never bothered to find out!

I don't do it, but Reese does. I asked him why and he said it is so people do not expect him to reply.
ie: he is having a conversation via a thread, then he wanders off (as ya do) and the other muppett in the conversation may be waiting for him to respond, as they see his name on the top of the page.
No, I don't geddit, either.
Why does my surname make any difference Roger, everytime I log on to SH everybody can see my name and those that know me no I am online and can check my are people who come on SH and deliberately hide so that you don't know they are online, that to me seems mischevious and a complete waste of time how are you going to meet someone if nobody knows you are there.
I`ve thought of doing it on occassion, much for the same reasons as Reese. Sometimes I`m too tired to post, or get into a conversation via PM, and just want to lurk. Going anon means I don`t have to seem rude!

At least Venus understands me! :love:
More people probably know me as Rooster than they do as Ian.
And I like it that way...
It is not very often I hide so to speak. Sometimes I like to pop on and join in a thread, but not really upto talking in pm or whatever. I think if you come on and find say 3 to 4 pms, and some of the people are on you feel obliged to reply asap, when really you want to do it the next day? It is how you feel I guess, and nothing meant by it, I feel we all sometimes just want to be that bit alone even if we are posting, it may seem daft, but then we are all different.
i love to hide, i sneak around the message boards pinching bums and looking down blouses
im not the only one that does this , there is a gang of us that do it, i know one young lady that really enjoys a quick fiddle with a bean bag when you least expect it.
W e hide for the most part on the , nearly all naked , staffs dogging thread and sneak out when you least expect it
i am hidden.. though it has not stopped me having meets or getting to know people.
infact.. the only thing it seems to have stopped are the unwated pm's from onetime posters who come on looking for a victim for imediate fun.
i dont think it is sneaky at all.....infact i would go so far as to say its irellevent!
i used to hide ..why coz i wanted to i was a nervous newbie sneaking about
I dunno how to hide (and even if I did its not in my nature too), so when I am on you all know about it :P
