Butthurt from just having you NAME on it I assume? Not to be mean or anything though, I just hate when some complain about small things.

While I am many things, I assure you that "butthurt" is not one of them, but perhaps my verbose manner of speaking has somehow led to that impression? More words does not automatically equal more passion... it just means I love to hear myself type.
Please understand, I am not even remotely hurt, nor am I trying to cause drama... nor did I somehow mean to imply that the chatroom should be removed or should not exist. I apologize if I gave that impression. I have no desire, whatsoever, of denying people the chatroom and whatever fun they may have with it.
True, perhaps having my name in the chatroom when I'd rather it not be there can be interpreted as a "small" thing to others and I accept that folks may not share my point of view on the subject - however, I do not see the harm in asking if it's possible to keep my name
(or anyone else who so desires to remain hidden) out of the chatroom. After all, just because you cannot see why something does or does not bother someone else does not necessarily mean their opinions are any less valid than your own, no?
After all, I do not use the chatroom. I have n ever planned to use the chatroom. I do not understand why logging into it is mandatory and I do not think that is too much to ask that I be given the option of whether I'm logged into it or not... but of course the only person who can really answer that question is the person who's configuring the forum and its features. I am quite eager to hear what they have to say about it.
At any rate, I stand by my opinion that it's silly and misleading to have an "Hide my online status this session" checkbox when you login when this option is obviously useless.
