Is there a list of who's online

list of who's online

OK, so this is less of a "How to" than a "How did" but yesterday someone sent me a message using my Lit screen name on Yahoo (have that account set up just for this, isn't linked to anything else.) Said they had seen my name on Lit, on the "list of people who were online right now."

Now I don't mind strangers saying hi, as long as they are nice about it and don't expect anything (there is a REASON I don't charge by the minute!) and this person was very nice.

Question is, who has access to this list? I've looked and the only link I've found to anything that says "whos online" is restricted.

I want my online status to show because there are people who I would like to have get in touch if they see me online. I'm just not sure I'm thrilled by the idea of being on some sort of menu.

Help a girl out?

At the bottom of the forum page you'll see a list of names. I think you can probably set your name so it doesn't show there, but I don't know. Also, if you are online it will say in Orange by all of your posts that you were online.

Hope that helps.

Click on the link at the top of the page that says "Literotic Discussion Board". It's at the bottom of the page. It also says in your profile that you are online unless you set your preferences to being invisible will signed into Lit.

I just have to say, this thread totally proves my theory stated here: forum.literotica.com/showthread.php?t=821029

One solution would be to only give your yahoo info to people you want to chat with there, versus every horny dude who's looking to get off ASAP. I mean your pretty much inviting everyone to pm and yahoo you by appearing online AND giving your yahoo info out, and there are going to be a lot of asshats who aren't so nice when you don't respond to their advances. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them contact you based on this thread alone.

Personally, I set my option to invisible long ago after getting tons of messages from those asshats. I figure anyome who wants to touch base with me can figure out I'm online from my post history or sees I'm here enough to get my private messages (I get copies of them in my email as well). And, yeah, waiting for a response for hours or days won't kill them. Good friends from here typically can contact me other ways if need be, although I certainly don't give my phone number or any other details out willy-nilly - those are reserved for those I've typically known for years and traded personal info with and/or met in person (and deemed exceedingly trustworthy, of course)

Now I'm not looking for cybersex or anything similar, but regardless, I have no desire to waste my time and pm space on random HNGs who can't be bothered to engage in discussions publicly, read my profile or even ask before they email me or whatever just because I have a female sounding name and appear to be online or they see my avatar.

Like probably 99%+ of the ladies here, I value quality people and interactions, and of course courtesy. The definitions of those terms is subjective, but in my fairly vast experience here, even those who turn out to be great sexual partners behave in certain ways from the start. For instance, they typically don't initiate a conversation with something blatantly sexual and wouldn't contact via IM or email without asking via private message first. And even if they're new, they have a post history that consists of more than drooling over pics/posts, SRP and personals threads. YMMV, but the patterns of the various types of members here are really quite fascinating!
