We've found that when a site is inactive the Join and Random links
generate a "this site is inactive" message, but the List rink copes

It seems like Join should work as it normally does, and so should
Random, even though the site is inactive   Is there a reason that
they don't?

A site can be inactive for a number of reasons, and I think it's
appropriate to let the visitor know about it. For instance, the
ringmaster may have deactivated the site because it doesn't meet the
ring requirements any longer.
