Quick background for my board. We have been running strong for 2.5 years. We have 1.1 million posts, 10,560 members ... very active group. Usually 300-600 people always on. 800 people max. I keep my time out to be the standard 15 minutes.

Here is where my confusion lies. I have other boards that compete with mine and try to make theirs look bigger. Well a quick glance at "who is online" and the last active time shows that some people have not been online for over an hour!!!!

Now I know these copycat boards have no where near the volume, but it is frusturating because I do not think it is really all that fair to represent my own board in that same fashion. If I did that it would show thousands of people online.

I guess what I am wondering is how many of these boards that seem so huge fudge the time-out to keep that perception.

is it not a security risk to leave cookie sessions hanging around for many hours?

No, but it is misrepresenting your activity. 15-30 minutes is optimal.
