I think this is a brilliant modification...
my only problem is having to get out the install disc for all my .NET application :).
Never the less, i think you are a bright minded talented person to think of this.
because just think if you have 100 members people arent going to sign up
if you have 2000 members, people are going to think, wow this site looks active, i want to take part!

I bow to you sir!

HAHA, well you better dust off the disk and the case, cause you'll like this guaranteed it's pretty nifty. I would say it's endless, because some admins of forums should be able to take a service to the forums owner telling them they can increase the member ratio (only until I get this other idea worked out for auto-content) for a small charge of such and such. Just a bit of insight for the ones that wanna make a bit extra $ if they wanted.

I'm not here to profit off my toys, I'm here to share some innovations!

Lol, nice concept

My hat off to you.

P.S.: I've nominated this for MOTM... hope you don't mind :p

Ahhhhhh man that's cool dude thanks!

How about when part II is done :) cause we are working on the content solution now for these new so called "members." :cool:

Nice of you to share. I'm not trying to create drama, but just informing others out there who may not know any better. Doing that would probably be illegal or could possibly result in a lawsuit here in the US -- unless you fully disclosed exactly what you were doing to your client (even then it's a little iffy).

Well that's up to the owner and the person that's offering it! Just like posting a disclaimer:

Disclaimer:

I claim no responsibility and neither does anyone else in your mishaps and etc... If you decide to cripple your forums because of your stupidity actions don't come crying here on vbulletin.org about how you made your board die after opening up 10 instances sending 50 million users to your forums in a matter of seconds. You think we are responsible for you burning your own house down? :rolleyes:

You're right, a single Advertiser can sue you big time!


Anyways, nice cheating! :p

Im not sure how adding members to your own forum can give some one the grounds to sue you...
vBulletin allows you to create members using the control panel.. so i dont see how using a program to do the same thing is illegal in any way.

i nominated this for mod of the month

No it's not "DRAMA" it's called just thinking outside the box, but who the hell said it's illegal to create new users on your own forums as other 0tolerance stated and it's been like that since Day 1 with vB creating users from the admin side without capturing IPs and etc.... So I would check your "law books" on this once more to see if your George Bush passed this as a new Law :rolleyes:
