Check status on MSN messenger

[RonaldA]

Hi friends,
Some of my friends appears offline and chat with me. Anyone knows of a program that allows you to check someone's status in terms of whether they are offline or faking it with an 'appear offline' status?

All suggestions are welcome.

If your messenger buddies have webcam, check the webcam icon is shown. If the contact is offline and you can see that cam icon he is online using offline status.

MSN Tracker is a web based service that allows you to track on your MSN messenger buddies in previous 24 hours without letting them know about it.
You can track on any MSN messenger user without his knowledge. It does not matter whether he is in your messenger's list or not. You can track 12 MSN users with one account.

You can try this:
Open a chat window to the person you think is online using offline status and send any message when you receive the message that "he is offline, he will receive your message the next time he signs in" , the contact is really offline, if there's no message so he is online with offline status.
