It's not that hard. These types of sites have people log in and get a session. So all you have to keep track of is the list of people that are currently logged in.
The easiest method is to keep updating the expiration of the session ahead 30 minutes from the current time each time a user accesses a page. Then after they stop accessing pages their session is deleted -- and therefore removed from the "who is logged in" page.
Anyway, that's the basic idea.

Is there any where I can find out how the code works? CAn any of you guysd explain in PHP. Cause I'm making a BBS and I need to have that. Anyone who can do that for me will get credit!
step 1
setup a db
time/date | unique ID
step 2
each page checks for $ID if exists (and is valid) it updates the record in the db. If invalid or none creates new ID and stores in db
step 3
?$ID=xxxxx added to each link
that would work but you have session tracking don't you. just adapt that.
