I've noticed the same thing -- as far as I can tell, "lurking" is synonymous with "active lurking". That is, it seems like there is a time threshold measured from when you last loaded/reloaded a page -- if you keep the same page open without ever reloading, you eventually disappear from the box. Of course, I could be totally off-base...vroom?

Two minutes is a time frame i seem to remember from somewhere
i.e. if you've loaded a page in the last two minutes you
show up.
update: then again I could be completely wrong. having
read misty's post below, I think she's right.

Baldrick, you wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted
itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord,
singing "Subtle plans are here again!"

Once I asked vroom this question in chatterbox - he's reply
was that "Other Users" gets updated every 3 minutes (if I recall
it correctly) and shows you as logged in if you have requested a
page within that time. | [reply] |
