I suspect this may have been asked before or addressed somewhere in an FAQ but I'm too lazy to look so I'll just ask:

No, no... morons get a different color light.

Grey is offline. Red is invisible (i.e. user has disabled online status display).

Do other people's circle show red? I thought it only showed red to yourself.

Only Cecil/Ed could test that. It's the only sock account. (Not intended to disparage, but merely to inform.)

Other posters don't see it. Staff members do. It's a terrible burden.

I think the green light is supposed to represent Gatsby's everlasting but impossible dream of being with Daisy, the one he loves - it is all of our hopes and dreams, all of the things that we believe in even though we will never reach them.
