AIM not going idle?

[Kev]

How come some people on my buddy list never, ever go idle no matter what? I know they're not on their computers all day, but their screen name never gets grayed out. Are they doing some kind of 1337 h4x0r1ng?

I think people w/ the actual AOL service never go idle even though they're away...

There's an option on the AOL client called "Allow others to see how long I've been idle", or something similar. It's likely been turned off.
