I hope it's NOT an option in the new version.
It is one of the things that makes this site feel like a real community. Sort of all being in the same virtual room.
I don't understand the need for secrecy here.

It is one of the things that attracted me to this place..

Not trying to argue with anyone, just stating my "vote"

rod03801: One of the most popular (and irritating) myths today is that the desire for 'privacy' equates to 'secrecy'. Just because I don't want anyone who feels like it to go nosing into my business (or personal life) does -not- mean I'm trying to hide things. Perhaps some people just don't like feeling like they're under a microscope.

LJ: No one suggested it be removed completely, just that it be an option to turn it off. For those mentioned in the paragraph above.

And please stop with the 'get back to your games' BS. I have games that aren't played. I'm not going stop reading just because you're in a hurry. BBW isn't under your requirements, either.

I also use multiple windows (tabs, actually, in my case). Just because you look when he's posted doesn't mean you know what he's doing, nor give you the right to call him a liar. It's his business.

I also agree with the 'if you turn on privacy it's a two-way street' idea. It's kind of like some of the MUDDs ... If you want to ask where someone is, you must let them know where you are, as well.

i agree with you Lythande in so far as I would be very annoyed if I was being scrutinised as it appears that BBW is being.

Make it an "option" of being invisible, that way all benefit except those that track others:)

BTW..thanks :)
