Curious question

[Konrad]

On the Currently Active Users and main forum page ... why are banned users shown in grey as logged-on and doing stuff?

[OvRiDe]

Apparently they show logged in, at least until their session times out. Also, when you are banned you can still view the same content that a guest is able to view. Since they probably tried to login it will record their session even as a banned user, but the system just treats them as a "guest".
