The link in the main index page, allows you to see what others are up to. Doesnt anyone else find this a little stalker-ish? I dont feel like it has a use. im just suggesting that it might not be used much, and removing it might give more memory or whatever back to realm667?

Who cares? It's an online forum for a game. Facebook lets you do 10 times worse, and people actually put personal details there.

What are you doing here that you are so worried about anyone seeing? If you can think of anything, then just stop doing it, problem solved.

This says it all:

Go there. Click on the "Yes" next to "Hide my online status:". Then click on "Submit". You will now be hidden from the prying eyes of your massive horde of Internet stalkers.
