Default Invisible Mode

Why does this exist?

Just curious.
I usually dont spend a heck of a lot of time
looking over how these sites work.

I understand no email and no private messages.

Does it exist if you can't see it?

A paradox to be sure...

Actually I was looking through the user CP and was just wondering
why one would want to be "invisible"? I personally like to be tangible
matter.

and I used to think I was invisible if someone threw
a towel over my head.

But really now, what is the purpose of the Invisible Mode?
I dont get it.

My reason is that this way I can come and go, look at the current user list thingy, temporarily ignore pm's , etc., without anyone clicking on my profile to see what I'm looking at.

Stupid, I know...

No this makes sense.
Ignore PM's... you spare the PMer knowing you dont care
to reply at the moment. I get that part.

And more edification, thanks... you dont want people knowing what
you are looking at. I get that also (and did not know it existed but tried it, kinda cool feature I guess.)
Honesty is very helpful. Thanks.

Anything else I am missing?

That's pretty much it.

So you know though, on the main page if you click on current active users? You can see where everyone is.

Hooray for spying!

I mean, ummm.... it's interesting at times.

And thats it for two of the teeming millions that inhabit this site.

I think invisible mode is on so people dont know how much of a loser you are for logging on to Nerdy Trail 24/7.
