This has multiple mentions in the thread, but here it is again ....

Basically it's down to Flashchat not removing them from the connections table. This happens because the user does not log out properly, but instead just closes their browser. When a user does this, Flashchat attempts to run a little pop-up to log them out, but browsers like firefox block this - so they don't get logged out.
These dead sessions only get removed when they time out, and since timeout processing only happens when someone is connected, if the last person in the chat does this, their 'connection' can end up being displayed for ages.

The answer is to drill the users in to logging out properly, or getting them to allow pop-ups from your site.
