Any Demi-God, Demi-Goddess, or Contributor out there?

[brn2ski00]

That don't opt to use the title (given a paid subscription)?

This would be on your honor, as we would never know if you truly were a MR contributor.... Just curious!

[rdowns]

There are stealth demis. I've said too much already.

[MacNut]

Does it matter if they are public or not.

[Unspoken Demise]

There are stealth demis. I've said too much already.

There is really only one way to tell.
But we cannot speak of it.

[dmr727]

I can't imagine there are many out there. I mean, unless you're some kind of post whore that gets your kicks from watching your processor status increase, I don't see much point in it.

[edesignuk]

Those who spill the beans on their stealthy co-contributors face certain death.

That is all.

precisely.

[jessica.]

How does it matter?

[maflynn]

Why does it matter. Those folks chose not to display their support status so asking them to come forward is doing something they probably don't want to do in the first place.

[PlaceofDis]

i was a "stealth" demi for awhile, then for some reason it reverted back to the demi-god title (probably didn't renew fast enough or something) and i never really saw a reason to change it back. /shrug

[iGary]

I was stealth when I was working for Apple.

[Gelfin]

Well, two if you count… you know… but they'd have to be wearing really tight pants.

[kainjow]

I was stealth for a while as well at one point. Too bad I can't be a stealth mod... ;)

[rdowns]

There's probably a lot more than you think. If they don't take the user title, then what makes anyone think they'll come forward here?

[brn2ski00]

How does it matter?

Does it matter if they are public or not.

Nope it doesn't, just curious and wanted to know.

[MacNut]

Nope it doesn't, just curious and wanted to know.Well if they are stealth why would they tell.

That's a good point.

[Unspoken Demise]

I can't imagine anyone would post in this thread if they wanted to remain an anonymous contributor. It just wouldnt make sense. It would draw unwanted attention towards themselves, and that would be silly.

OP: Why dont you just pony up the 25$ and see who is or is not a "stealth" demi. Hell, you could become one. ;)

[brn2ski00]

Well if they are stealth why would they tell.

true. like I said, just curious....

Maybe they are one.... >.> <.<

[OutThere]

I'm stealth. You can tell if you stare at my user title for 5-10 minutes, it will turn into 'macrumors 601'. Don't blink or it won't work.

[jmann]

These people like to left anonymous. I guess they are just being humble. :) Who cares anyway, I'm sure they have their reasons for not being named as a Demi.

It would be awesome to see: Newbie (Moderator)

I'm tempted to prefer the numbers...But, I don't believe that this is the right place to have the stealth-outing, but I've said too much...Please don't strike again Doctor Q.

[Koodauw]

Perhaps the Stealth Demi, are spys for the non demi, and dont want to be reconized by the demis.........;)

[thegoldenmackid]

I always wondered what the punishment would be for such traitors...

[alphaod]

Who gives a crap about being a demi; those people in their little section must be talking crap about nothing all day. I bet it's a waste of money.

I mean, unless you're some kind of post whore that gets your kicks from watching your processor status increase, I don't see much point in it.

That hurts to hear. :(

[brn2ski00]

also a good point

:p

[iBlue]

Or because they like to lurk around without being seen. Private is never really private on the internet.

There was at least one incident of douchebaggery with a demi spilling (actually somewhat personal/private) information and did so very rudely. Then afterwards he threw his toys/vases/whatever and ran off but he came back to MR unfortunately eventually. So it doesn't seem there is a punishment, but those who remember it probably don't think very highly of this individual. Incidentally, he was a stealth, IIRC.

[brn2ski00]

Interesting comments for sure.

Like I said, I wanted more to see what people thought, as I had a curiosity on the subject. IMO, I could care less, but wanted to see if some members cared whether or not the possessed a different title (post count aside).

Good stuff Rumorers! :D

[SilentPanda]

Part of it I think has to do with plain ol' preference and part to do with the stigma... people even tend to make assumptions about users solely based on their join date which actually has no relevance to their knowledge about Macs. Same thing with titles...

It's kinda like what people used to say when I played World of Warcraft...

"If you play more than me you have no life and if you play less than me you must be a loser."

So some people prefer to support the site but appear to be a "normal" user because well... we're all normal users but some elevate certain titles to a higher status. Everybody makes mistakes...

(except me)

Hmm. So the demis are capable of acting like actual demigods of old, complete with ill-tempered bolt-throwing trantrums. So refreshing. :D

I was starting to think they were consigned to a gated community with manicured lawns, roof tiles all of a size and color, plus rules about decibel levels for audio output... McMansion Expansion Hell with a lid on it.

Can't even comment, my mind is spinning like a top. LOL (I guess)

Oh yeah! :D

More like the Cheers pub with some overgrown grass outside and a lot of riffraff mingling about.

[Jaffa Cake]

Basically, we use stealth demis for our black ops. Assassination, sabotage, espionage, kidnap – there's nothing they won't turn their nefarious hand to. As such, it's little wonder their identities are closely guarded secrets.

If you look carefully though, you can occasionally spot one. As an example, here's a picture taken at last year's London Picnic showing one of the stealth demis assigned to security detail...

[brn2ski00]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys/gals are correct, the dark side is totally stealth! ;)

[iOrlando]

I'm one of them.










I'm only joking.







Or maybe I'm not joking.

[alphaod]

I can neither confirm or not confirm because I either know or I really don't know if he is a stealth demi.

[joro]

Here's the master listing of all demis...

*sigh* looks like even vBulletin is on the conspiracy...;)

[SilentPanda]

There is a pretty quick way to find out if somebody is a demi or not. All you have to do is ▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ and voila!

[brn2ski00]

I like it! This is the most light-hearted thread I have seen in a while... no bickering or arguing, just a bunch of stealth demis getting along! :p

[RedTomato]

I'm a steath Demi. If you look under my name, it doesn't say 'Demi'.





Oh did I forget to set the option...?


Oh crap.

[Clix Pix]

I didn't care about being "stealth," I just wanted to make sure that my title was proper -- "Demi-Goddess" instead of "Demi-God!" LOL!

Right, I tried that and all that happened was my calico cat got out a broom and flew upstairs on it. Next suggestion?

All I see is some squares where the text goes. But I could even read the private forum or the moderator forum if I had ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓. I also could see anything the forum stores about anybody with this info. Even their passwords. I could see any IP they had ever posted from. I could even make arn a normal member and then me an admin.

[LizKat]

Yeah, so? That and 15c would get you on the NYC subway in 1965. :p

update: ah, well after readin' yer edit I see it's arn s/b worried, not us peasants.

Unless they read that, and posted because of your post. :D

What does the option to switch between that look like?

I typed that into Safari's address bar on the iPhone 3.0 and got root shell access:D

I though that was for finding transformer demis.

[BrianKonarsMac]

in my own mind I am a demi-god... does that count? :p

[DiamondMac]

I just lost my Demi-God status :(

I will soon be it again :o

Isn't that to detect secret CIA and Apple agents among us? In any cases, I've mentioned too much already.

Stealth Demis according to the FAQ are stealth by choice and wish to remain that way for personal reasons. I respect that and no one should oust them.

If you really want to know you have to leave Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion field and join us... erm I've said much again I mean, meow...
