If you're online at the time of this post, I can't see you listed.
I've refreshed several times, and you still don't show - so if you've been online alll this time you are indeed invisible.
I don't understand why you (or anyone) would want to do this. Granted, you have disabled both forms of messaging so there's no way to communicate with you except in the posts (though I suggest you permit at least Private Messaging as there may be things people need to tell you that can't or shouldn't be posted openly - or may require your assistance - or may want to congratulate you - or whatever) - but that is of course your choice to make.
This is a very open, friendly, helpful, and encouraging forum where we try to be sociable with each other and yet you seem to be doing everything possible to cut yourself off from everyone else. We can all work together better as a team, supporting each other and helping when we see someone struggling with a thread or when someone requests assistance. It's also how friendships are formed and they are both helpful and enjoyable - we often exchange personal info with each other that we would never post openly (as friends often do and that makes the bond stronger).
You have a lot to contribute and can become an even more valuable asset if you socialize more - post something in the Today thread in the Chillout Forum (like today I got my such-and-such badge or today I hit my 100th post or today I power-sprayed the padio) - or start a new thread about something of great interest to you and see how people respond. I don't mean to preach or lecture if it sounds that way, I'm just suggesting that opening up instead of shutting down might be better for you and for everyone else as well. And being visible shows your rank which is something to be proud about. Incidentally, we can tell if you're online by going to your profile and checking or by seeing you posted a minute ago - but that's the hard way (and most won't bother).
I'm just trying to be friendly and help and offer advice. When I first joined a short while ago myself, I too was given advice by several different long-term members which has helped me - and they are now friends. I'm trying to return those favors here. I've done the best I can to answer every question I noticed you posted as best as I could - as I believe we who are regulars primarily answering questions from others should go an extra step to help each other when one of us posts a question.
I don't know if any of this is going to help or make things worse, but I'm trying to be honest and offer you the best advice I can give. If you don't take it immediately, that's fine and your choice - but I hope you'll at least consider it and keep it in the back of your mind. I think you'll find it more enjoyable here with friends to socialize with than totally isolated and just posting official replies and questions. But if that's how you want things to be, then it is of course your choice to make. If you choose to pursue your current course, remember that you can change at any time and join up with the rest of us.
Sincerely,
