People hide their profiles all the time here. They jump back and forth for whatever reason they have.I do think there is a 24 hour waiting period after you hide your profile to get back on the forums.
The thread creator may have written the thread yesterday, hid their profile, and came back today to answer the posts on the thread.

Ah yes, I see. That would make sense. And yes, you do have to remain hidden for 24 hours.

People have their own reasons, but I think mainly because they are being innundated with e-mails that they don't want to answer. If your profile is off, noone can e-mail you.
