I know you can set yourself to hidden on your profile, what's the point though?

I don't know what it's for, if I could disable it I would, I want to know who's on.

I was under the impression that Administrators were allowed to view the hidden members.

I know that, personally, I would use the feature if I were to begin using hidden members for a secret moderator usergroup. "Secret" in as much as "the average user would not have knowledge of when the members are active, short of there being a hidden user."

I have no idea, probably, but I've never been ad admin on any forum where anyone used it.

Generally speaking, hidden users appear down at the bottom with the other users, but their name is Italicized.

It's like being a forum ninja.
