OMGosh!!!!

How the hell am I supposed to lurk when I'm outed by LJ??? What the fuck--now I feel like a creepy, silent stalker. :(

Well, I *am* a creepy silent stalker but now *everyone* knows, damn it.

Wha?

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

On that redesigned home page it shows the recent visitors to your LJ. *GRIN* That means no more slinking into LJs like I used to slink into yours. Hah! I mean...*koff*

[jesseofthenorth.livejournal.com]

Sucks we can't turn it off. ( can we, turn it off?) I don't really wanna know about (lack of) traffic on my LJ... creeper or otherwise :D

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I HATE knowing who (or *if *) folks are dropping in. Or that they can see me!

GIRL! I crept all over your LJ. ;)

[hermyone6.livejournal.com]

we can turn it off here

*done! It's damn creepy*

[rockstarpeach.livejournal.com]

So wait... is that new feature just an in your face version of My Guests?

Because I've had that turned off for ages, and my homepage doesn't give me details on my 'recent visitors', but it still does give me five different names every time I load it up.

Does that mean other people can see when I go to their journal? I wish I couldn't see them, either. Ugh, I just want nothing to do with it. Creepy is right.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I've had My Guests turned off since I noticed it way long ago. My homepage is now showing me people who've dropped in and there seems to be no way to turn *that* off. :(

[rosy5000.livejournal.com]

Awww! Poor Roxy! Though, I hardly ever go to the homepage, so you're safe to continue stalking me. You know I liiiike it too. ;D *saucy wink*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

*adjusts sunglasses and trenchcoat, stealthily checks you out...*

[cha.livejournal.com]

i thought you could turn that off

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

It doesn't seem like you can. That My Guests thing doesn't seem to connect to the home page thing.

Wow...that reads like English is my fiftieth language....

[write-light.livejournal.com]

And I can see that... you have NOT been on my page in the last day or so. :(

No seriously, don't worry, most people I know avoid the home page like the plague.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Noooooooo, no! I think it just rats out the lurkers! You and I, we have a special kind of bond. :D

And it's good to know that folks mostly avoid the home page. I used to check it for Bdays but not much else.

[selinamoonfire.livejournal.com]

I hate the principle of it but I'm kind of glad for it since it'll tell me if the ex-boyfriend is stalking. But overall, I think it's wrong.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

It's weird and feels like it goes against the whole LJ thing. Sometimes, you just want to silently lurk. :)

[peepingdru.livejournal.com]

well that's rude that one cant be naughty-ish......:P

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Right?

Am I wrong to want to read Monsters Inc. slash? *G*

[chellexxx.livejournal.com]

I had turned off my stats/my guests option when i joined lj & i'm a little freaked that i know who has/has not visited my journal. But the icky thing is that now other journal owners know my weirdo viewings too.

Won't this new feature bring offence to journal owners who don't get a comment from a lurker? I think in this case Ignorance really is bliss. I'm gonna avoid checking the Home page, it shouldn't be difficult i hadn't been there since joining lj. Although it's there so i might not be able to help myself now grrrrrrrrr
xxx

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I went occasionally because sometimes I accidentally delete my notifications and the home page listed birthdays and stuff.

I am with you--ignorance is bliss and I'm going to avoid the new homepage like the plague.

Although it's there so i might not be able to help myself now grrrrrrrrr

I know right? *sigh*

[iibnf.livejournal.com]

Ten years ago that's just the kind of shit I would have obsessed over. Now? I can't ... I just can't give a shit. Remaining concious takes just about all of my energy and coffee.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

LOL!!! Pretty much SOP lately.

[day221b.livejournal.com]

That's seriously f!cked up. Thanks Lj.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

If only they'd leave our sandbox alone!!!

(and *hugs*)

[firesign10.livejournal.com]

Bit Defender has blocked the home page so I can't even see it now.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

biiiz-hunh? don't get all technological on me now....

[lapetite-kiki.livejournal.com]

I didn't know about that since I rarely go to the home page... you are safe to stalk me, ;-)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Oooooo! It's stalking time! *GGG*

[danceswithgary]

No worries. If you have My Guests turned off, you're still invisible when you go sneaking around other people's journals. I just tested it with two of my journals that have My Guests turned off. *hug*

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Awww! Thank you for enabling my creepieness being a good friend!

[tabaqui]

Ahh ha ha hah ha.
*cough*
:)

I never ever look at the homepage - it seems pretty pointless to me. But apparently if the 'my guests' is turned off you actually *are* invisible. Maybe. Or something.
*flails*

WHO KNOWS. Thanks, LJ, for adding yet another layer of annoyance and superfluousness to the site.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Really! I wish the hell they'd stop "fixing" things! :(

[cordelia-gray.livejournal.com]

OH GOD I HATE IT. I HATE IT SO MUCH.

I don't want to know who's been in my journal, I don't want people to know I've been creeping around like a creeper. Sometimes I open a post in a tab, and I totally mean to go over there and leave a comment, I really do, but then I have to close my browser and I forget where I was /o\

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

I know! And sometimes, I juuuuuuust don't want to comment on what I'm reading...for various reasons. *koff*

[quiet--tiger.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't've even noticed that if you hadn't said anything. I'm on the home page periodically just because I have to log in there sometimes, but I hadn't looked over the new version closely. I can blame lack of traffic on me never posting. It's certainl contagious throughout LJ. It seems like fandoms just don't fandom like they used to, or I'm in the wrong circles (as this Teen Wolf thing seems to be a hot fandom and I've never seen it).

[askellington.livejournal.com]

Fandoms really don't do it like they used to. I think they're all over on tumblr, throwing pics and gifs at each other and posting tiny fucking chapters of shit that they then post at AO3 and get on my nerves. How the hell can something have teeny wordcount but have a bazillion chapters?????? Or is this some new thing that I'm too old to understand? grrrr.

roxy, pouting.

[elsecarlass.livejournal.com]

I can't say I've noticed it really. I'm just oblivious to most things anyway :)

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Whenever I log on, it takes me to that home page. It doesn't do that at my sockmuppet LJ though. I probably did something eons ago and can't remember what. I do that a lot, hah!

[romyra]

No Way!!!! I immediately unchecked that thing! Creepy and Stalkerific!

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

Yes Way!!!

Hey, stranger!! ♥
*HUG*!

Is scary fandom, yes?

eta: oops! I wanted to add if LJ is trying to get rid of us, they're doing the best they can by uncloaking us!!
