Knowing that more than one person hides their member status, I feel able to make this thread. Do you hide your online membership status? I do. Why? I don't particularly want other members to see exactly where I am. Not that I'm worried of them finding something derogatory out, but that it's nobody else's business.
What do you think? Should people be bold enough to reveal their membership status or be able to keep it quiet, and if you are anonymous, why?
Hidden

I normally set myself as 'hidden' on all forums I visit - why I don't know but it's just a thing that I do. You might think I'm a little paranoid, but I like to keep my cards close to my chest.

What do you have to be paranoid about?
I do not have my status hidden. I want people to know when Wellie is online so they can message him, and ask him questions like what is your favourite brand of cornish pastie.

The world needs to know.
I think it was a bad name killing Wellie off. His posts were a forum feature (like a water feature, if you will) to look out for. They had a sense of goodness about them. Now they're just ordinary, un-unusual and normal.

One must also admit to missing His Lordship, even if it's still the same person posting in reality.
