    but really.. who is it? What does it all mean? What circumstances lead to a phantom user...
  • David

    its a tick box on your preferences page - so you can hide yourself from the who's online bit in the panel. Why anyone would want to do such a thing so as to hide their username which is a mechanism for hiding your identity in itself is a mystery.

  • Marquis
    ...and again!

    there's a good chance it's (sometimes) rainbow_carnage; she seldom bothers logging in just to read the new posts.
  • rainbow_carnage
    nope, not me. this site logs me in automatically. you have to change the account settings to hide your username.

    Ha ha ha ha! What kind of superhero is he supposed to be? Where’d he get all that clobber? A bin bag outside the Mind shop?

    “My dress sense is tingling ... What’s this, what’s this? Navy suit. Grandpa’s hat. White polo-neck and gloves. Oh, lordy, and the piece de resistance … Nan’s pendant. Man, I’m looking goooood.”

    BIFF! BASH! POW! BLING!

    You can get all that down on the Fonthill "Fashion Corridor", I expect.

    I think you'll find he's a "type of Zombie"

    Just noticed Lucy has a flag... what's that all about then?

  • ADGS
    Schoolboy error! The Phantom Stranger never refers to himself by that name. It's always something vague and portentous like "Who am I? I hope one day you may come to think of me as a friend, but until then I must remain...a stranger."
  • Ian

    @miscara Lucy was given a flag as an experiment about some kind of marketisation by Andy, but then, I think, was allowed to keep it post experiment as pure favouritism.
