On facebook what does it mean when you see a friend on chat but there is no dot next to their name?

Okay so I know if there is a green dot they are available to chat. But what if there is no dot at all next to their name and you know that they usually keep themself as "Offline" does this mean they had it as online then went back offline? Why would their name still be on the list to chat then?

    I'd suggest you ask them that question, since facebook is not a very popular place to people on EP. Many Epeeps refer to it as "farcebook." There's a history behind this, you'll find references to it in lots of stories here.

    What about when you dont see your friend's name there? I mean, for example they were online ( there's a green dot beside their name ) and then after a while, their name suddenly disappear from the list ( as opposed to seeing their name on the list without the green dot / mobile icon ) ?
