I have shut down the forum via the admin panel.
And it all appears to be shut down etc OK.

However if anyone later opens a browser and goes to a different page like active.asp the forums are live again.

This makes it hard to do maintenance if the public are accidentally enabling it again.

Is this normal or is my forum crazy?<

Look for the following lines in "inc_header.asp" (appx 67-71):

if Application(strCookieURL & "down") then 
	if not Instr(strScriptName,"admin_") > 0 then
		Response.redirect("down.asp")
	end if
end if

Make sure those lines exist and that they are not enclosed in an "if/then" statement.<

Post links to your "inc_header.asp" and your "down.asp" files in .txt format and we'll take a look.<

You need to save those two files as text files (.txt) formatting. I cannot check the code if they are still interacting with other files.<

If your host reboots the server, all the application variables for your forum will be reset. If you need to shut your forum down for an extended period of time then comment out the first if statement Carefree posted above along with its corresponding "end if".
