Is there any means of telling if someone is on line even if they have their preferences set to show off line?

Re: Can you tell if someone is on LIVE if they appear offline?

yes, the ways to tell are:
1) look at their last achievements unlocked, this will change if they unlock any whilst connected to xbox live. It has the last 4/5 achievements on their profile.
2) If you go to the persons profile it will tell u the last game they played, so if they put in another game it will change.
3) If its COD5 or games that records wins/loses/kills etc. Go to leaderboards, write down their stats and check it 5/10mins later

Not an ideal way to check if their online, but better than nothing.

funny enough that's why I was asking the question, so I can make a check on a colleague who appears to spend way too much work time on his 360.

Your thread should be in a business forum for MD's and their brown tongued minions
the 360 brother(sister)hood rule book states:
24> though shalt not grass on your fellow gamers unless they glitch or they are abusive

Jobs are transitory my friend, Xbox is for life
