Isn't it true that if someone tries to get to the forum or a thread in the forum, they will get a Not Allowed notice, but they will still get listed as being 'in' that forum/thread.

Have a look at the Who Is Online screen. It will probably show you more info, ie: an error indicator next to the 'guest/spider' name.

Having a forum not visible is not the same as having a forum closed for posting. If the forum is just not visible, anyone who knows the forumid can get to it.

If you 100% certain that you have logged in users able to view a restricted area, I can only suggest that forum permissions are screwed up.

Create a user account for testing and give that test user the exact same usergroup permissions as another user you have seen on the list. Login with that test user and look.

I usually find that that the permissions of usergroups is the culprit in gaining access to areas you don't expect. I've given registered users access to Administrations Forums before now. It's quite easy to do. But a test user account will usually show up any holes in the logical structure you [think] you have implemented.

That too, which is a very good point.

Ive signed in under each user group and cannot even see the forum

Right now it says 2 viewing

Theres NO POSTS AT ALL IN THERE , and the forum says never and only admin mods and keelhauled users have any permissions Everyone else cant even see it

The 2 users in there are in different user groups

And when i click on there profile i see Searching forums

I think When ever a user searches forums It shows them viewing this forum One is a Mod and i asked him and he said he hasnt been in there in weeks

Now theres another user group in there , Thats All my Groups looked at his online status and it shows Searching Forums Query: ladder bar @ 07:11 PM

IT seems when ever anyone searches the board it shows them viewing this forum , ITs the last forum on the board

Whats the Deal HEre?

Well I have no idea, but I still think your forum permissions may be out of whack. Have you duplicated "exactly" a user that you have seen reading that section and logged in using that account? If you have done this and you cannot see the section, nor access it by typing in the URL, then I really don't know what the problem is.
