Anyonw know of a way to say add an extra 1000 to each of the numbers shown alongside each forum for Threads and Posts
I can do this for the main total shown under the stats area but cant figure out how to make all the ones alongside each forum increase.

you would have to edit some files and that is sort of unethical...

You obviously lead a sheltered life mate - its called trying to make a forum look busier so that more members join and the overall forum turns into a much better place as the membership increases - well known in many circles as a hack - theres no difference in doing this than there is in signing up fake users to start discussions, or using a bot to post.
I take it your response of having to edit files is as far as your knowledge goes - well done on that part - anyone with half a bit of normality have an idea what files -
This guy managed to do this here but its for an old version - here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=44521&highlight=fake+thread)

where did i say that you have to edit files ;)
i don't do vbulletin hacks i do my own custom things i just figured to throw in my two cents, since it seems really stupid to trick people that will be your members into thinking your forums are busy

Well thats nice now isn't it I have two useless replies from people with no intention of helping just to screw up this thread and then you claiming to be able to help me - why bother posting if your not going to help and just jump on their bandwagon of as you state being an ass.

Here here
Also can we please try to answer the question rather than people giving their ethical views...

Well you have already gotten already an answer in the first reply, you will need to edit some files, in better circles also known as a hack.
And sorry i just lost my last bit of normality a few days ago, so i forgot which files.
Edit: I will not go into a discussion if it is ethical or not, that is your own decission. The way you are responding in here however is not how we like to treat eachother.
