I could be stepping way out of line here, but I /think/ they're equivalent to you. If it takes 5 minutes for you to get initial presence from someone, that means it's taking 5 minutes to establish s2s and do the presence round-trip. Now, even if the server remembered (and told you) that they're online, wouldn't that mean that the first message you sent would also take the same time for the servers to get it in gear together? In this case it might even be preferable see them as offline, if you wouldn't be effectively able to communicate yet. As an aside: I have no idea what would cause a server to consistently take 5 minutes to get presence to you (apart from sever. overloading, or brokenness) - does anyone have any thoughts on this, because it seems to me that this is the underlying problem we're trying to solve here.
