I guess that can be one implementation or like what you suggested, is to have a ICQ0-like function.
But IM is really cool, many users want this feature. And a icon gif on each user's posting under their author box to indicate whether they are online would be excellent, rather than everytime i have to go back to the main page to see who are online. The Who's online feature should be prevalent in every page, so that a simple click of the user icon, I can send an instant message to him.

Online/Offline indicator can be pretty easily integrated into the drawmsg.inc file, which is responsible for drawing messages on just about all the pages...
