Except in the forum the name could show at the bottom just because someone walked away from their PC with the window still open. It's no real sign that the person is actually in thread. There have been plenty of games that I have been playing in where I opened a thread with intention of reading it and then got called away by RL in some manner and left the window open for later when I got back (which could be minutes or hours).
