Have you considered that perhaps the user might be using a web browser for the forum/steam in general when not playing games?

I do it so that I don't bother others actually.
Don't need "Kiddiecat is online" appearing in their toast 100 times.

i just realised i have appeared offline for months. sometimes i just set myself offline and then forget tbh

Then drop them immediately!

They bother you.

You are no friend.

They need to read this and drop and block you.

I'd just remove them instead.

I love invisibility - it’s the perfect camouflage for an ambush.

I'm only 'online' when I'm on the basement PC. Don't even have Steam installed anywhere else.

Nobody likes frenemies.

Nothing is worse than treacherous people.

I only keep people around who I deep down believe in and IMO we all should act like grown ups and make decisions accordingly.

If there really is a problem with someone then it's time to start acting like a grown-up.

The whole online visibility doesn't matter one iota. It's about pretending to be a friend when resenting someone.

That is what matters.

My boy is the mf- predator

I set myself offline because I don't want to annoy everyone if I am playing an unstable game and constantly rebooting it.

I always appear offline especially when Im playing around/ testing game mods and I have to close and open the game 100 times, I feel like it would be annoying for people to see that pop up all the time

Try being a woman. I used to just accept all friend requests and every time I went online, guys would DM me. Since then, I appear offline by default out of habit even though nowadays I only add people I know.

Just days ago one of my neighbors was ringing my doorbell asking for a favor and was horrified when I told them to shove off.

This is one of the old people who is constantly talking trash about me to the point in which it has made it to me.

Some of you know me and how I keep the best house in the neighborhood and don't cover my windows. If me and this place are so bad- then why are you all so fascinated by it? Then why are you looking in that much?

How bad can it be? Nobody is making you stand there and look in.

Or how one of the neighbors invites me to the party and when a HOT girl with generous female characteristics in the corner made her move nearly get violent and I had to collar and sit him down before leaving- and then act shocked!! when I declined to come again to this year's party.

In many ways I have more respect for people who have no filter and are "rude."

At least we know where you stand.

Its it just me or does anybody else appear offline just to stop that one friend from bothering you

You should speak to that one friend and tell them why you're offline, more importantly, why are they still on your friends list if you consider them a nuisance?

I'm currently in offline mode (aka sneaky mode) as I'm doing other things besides reading the forums.

I just go offline if I don't want distractions or if I'm playing late at night (as I have friends in real life on my friends list).
