On at the moderators, why should we ever hide? Lets be honest we should all be here as active members of the community who want to further Fallout Studios, I cannot wrap my head aorund hiding, I certainly cannot understand moderating from hidden, its cowardly.
Now I bet one or two people will be offended by the topic, tragic, but can someone please explain why want to hide from what is frankly one of the nicest online communities I've ever encountered.

I have no clue as to this either.

Pretty much. Though on the forum I don't have any reason to stay hidden.
Now if I could only work out how to do it on Facebook...

No you are pretty much just offensive a lot of the time.
And if people are offended I would say it's more of a maturity issue on your behalf than theirs.
As far as the topic goes, I have never used Hidden mode but I could understand a user possibly wanting to hide from others so they don't get abuse or hounded with messages as soon as someone sees them online.
it's the same principal as using Appear Offline on a messenger program so that you can talk to others but they can't talk to you.
Although I think I caught Nooka out with that one once

a) Not moderator material (something I am always on the look out for)
b) Ashamed of their own presence here
I'm all for privacy, but in the case of this forum I really don't see how hiding when you're around really helps. All we (the public) know is that within the last 15 minutes you visited this site, since you can log in from anywhere it shows nothing other than you want to put your face around.

But on most at least somewhat active forums, I don't bother with hidden mode.

Aren't we the popular one?
I actually had no idea there was a "hide yourself" feature on the forums... where is it?

To be frank I can't see any point in signing in as hidden - so what if you're seen to be online? You may get a few PMs - so ignore them until you are ready to answer. You may get pestered by somebody on the forums - but it's not real time communication and they have to respect that you will choose to reply when you're ready.
Oh, and on a related topic - hidden moderation (hence the bold above). There have been several threads recently that have been locked without any reasoning at all. Fair enough, there was probably a good reason behind it, but if you're moderating that surely requires honesty if you perform your duties - not locking and jumping off elsewhere. If moderation is performed in a public area, it'd be nice to see some reasoning behind it, or even just being told that the thread has been locked, as has happened until recently. Just a minor gripe - but one wonders why this is happening - as a moderator surely you must be confident/honest enough to show that you're doing your duties in a public area? Note I am not saying that every moderator action has to be written down, but ones that the public can see normally should be noted - it seems only right.

I haven't noticed these, whilst this is not the place, feel free to PM me the ones in particular and I/we will look into it. A locked topic should come with a reason.
Back to issue at hand. I have only ever logged on as invisible during the strike and personally don't see the point as no one here every bothers to bother me /feeling left out
