Just tested this on bbs.synchro.net. After logging in, it shows the Synchronet ANSI and a pause prompt. If I sit at that prompt, it will time me out in 30 seconds. If I continue past that and sit at the pause prompt after the Minesweeper stats, it does not time me out and seems to be using the longer inactivity setting.

In my opinion, showing those Minesweeper stats (or anything external) is what's setting the inactivity correctly while Matt's board doesn't have something like that loading to "reset" the setting.
