There is 2 mistakes on this

1. If i dont put any names in, it lists a comma in front of all my users like ,

2. If i put 2 peoples names in as active, if you click VIEW WHOS ONLINE the names dont appear there meaning if there are

4 real members online and my 2 fake ones you click view whos online and it says

4 members it doesnt say 6 members and it only lists the 4 members names

Something isnt working right people are going to figure that one out go quickly!

Works Great! (3.6.8)

I wish we could get fake threads and posts for the the forums on my site

You must to change viewing thread members count too
and also hide current online user ID's

I like this hack!!

One question though, is it okay to use this hack? I dont want google to see this as a cloak or anything. What I mean is we do not get ban if we use this right?

Perfect for april fool! :)

To answer a few questions that came up:
1) I didn't do the fake names thing, so I'm not 100% sure on the code. Though, I don't think it'd be an major issue to correct. I vaguely recall doing some hacking on this hack to get rid of the extra coma I had on one of my test forums, so I'll try to look into that extra coma thing tomorrow if and when I have time...

2) Re: not adding up; invisible users already causes problem adding up. I posted this bug report a while back, and it was marked as working per designed: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...?issueid=12482

As such, no fix will be provided to change the numbers on WOL page, and no names will be added to it. They are, for all anyone can care, invisible users.

3) This is just altering displayed number; it shouldn't get you banned from Google. If it does, Google is most likely on drugs or a power trip. Typically, from my understanding, Google bans people for making contents to attempt to inflate their search engine ranking / page ranking; not for displaying fake numbers... But, if you feel unsafe, don't use it. I just wrote part of the code for it, I'm not going to be responsible for what Google does on their part.

dang i can get on the big boards now.lol

This mod is big-boards compliant, so doubt it.

My sites 2 years ago: pr6,4,4,5,6,6,6,7
My sites today: pl6,3,5,5,6,6,4,7

this hack is great!! Thank you...

One problem.. when the hack is enabled in admincp, post count in the forum with the fake threads and posts stopped to increase post count... only threads count working fine.

any idea how I can fix this?

Thank you for your help.

Shouldn't be the case because it adds to the value. Please check to see if there are any other addons which edits the values.
