Derr? Why does this place get worse?!Originally Posted by WODJNO
Honestly: I swear it happens as the value of any car passes a certain point.
WTF .. I've neve heard so much cack !!
There's actually a second point where things start to pick up again, around £4-500. Retrorides being a good example.

Invisibility mode is for people who want to be unnoticed whilst they browse.
Anyone except moderators sees the invisible person as offline when they are online.
I have never used it myself, and I would imagine I never would. I can understand that people want to bu unnoticed, though. That's why I painted my Brembos black. It's also why I have no desire to change to an Evo. I like subtlety.
I can't see what harm invisibility mode causes. Can someone explain to me what the negative side of it is? Otherwise I agree with Kieran - leave it there for those shy people who want to use it.
To tell you the truth, i have always thought it is a strange thing to have on a public forum ?
The main reason for me bringing it up at this moment in time, is due to a certain member who has been getting up just about everyones nose of late..Hiding and skulking around in the background and just popping up to post there comments..
Anyway... If they want to be sneaky then so be it.. But i just thought i'd add my Two Penneth as this is a Public forum for everyone to discuss current matters in public..
Close the thread if it's deemed to be pointless and inapropriate
I'm done on here
I'm always up for a friendly and logical discussion, Wodj! I was just wondering what your thoughts were as to why it is a bad idea.
I think I understand now, but I'm not sure what difference it makes if someone who annoys people is invisible or not?
Definitely not Cack, Wodj: have seen too many forums have a total change of attitude when the cars themselves hit a certain price point: I'm not having a go at you at all: it happens to the whole forum dynamic. Interestingly, it's usually around the time when it's cheap to buy to break the cars up. Seen it happen with Zeds, Scoobs, has started to happen with Skyline forums of late too. As Throbbe say: at some point the marque starts to become a "labour of love" and then the forum dynamic changes again. It's totally subconcious, and of all the Clubs, CVR4 is the least bitchy, nasty or competitive, I think because most people have thought about what they want from these cars, rather than "MAX POWER POSSE". I definitely consider this a place of fairly thoughtful and considered posts: just look at the post quality compared to the more 'popular' forums. Maybe I am being stuck up, but half of the appeal of vr-4s is their stealth, and the other half is their practicality, which means, IMO a slightly more thoughtful kind person.
So someone wants to keep a low profile? They're welcome IMO. Hey, there's always a dark horse at every party). It's not going to change the nature of the responses, and that's what counts.
Anything else is just appearances, and you're not objecting to my pug-ugly mush LOL.
-shrug- no one's having a pop at you: just disagreeing. Why so defensive?
only one thing to say to that.........

You carnt turn it off, it is built into the forum software
Its a feature/security used with the use cable modems. Most modems are on 24/7. A site would think that you are on there site 24/7.
I use it all the time, I becomes a habbit after a while to just click invisable mode :/
