George Bush passed this into a law? I don't recall any sort of Statue or Federal Law within any sort of law books :rolleyes:

Many thanks we are currently working on the autoposting hack now where it'll take whatever LIST of users you define and............ No more told until released!

First, don't make assumptions about people (they're wrong) -- you asked for no Drama but you've just made some.

Second, anytime you misrepresent something and people pay money to advertise on your site, you are liable for misrepresentation and can be sued if they feel they paid more based on that misrepresentation. It's called fraud -- but really only matters if you accept advertisers. Imagine if CBS made it look like they had twice the viewers for a television show that they really had. You don't think the advertisers would be asking for half their money back if they found out the numbers were wrong?

I'm not making any judgments on people. I just want them to be aware so they don't necessarily follow bad advice (the mod is a neat idea -- your suggestion on charging people for bumping up a forum owner's membership was not a good one in my opinion -- as long as it's deception).

Yes, but plain point I made it a fact that's up to "THEM." However you want to do it just like I said, just throwing ideas out there and appreciate your thoughts on it though. NO one is accountable for another's actions or reactions!

However the hack is here for anyone to utilize and learn how it all works as a learning curve as I stated in the post. Comments on how the hack can be used and utilized is up to the End-User, I just threw an idea out there, but as I stated that's up to the "End-User" to decide on what to do with the hack.

Anyhow thanks for your concern and comments.

Because the auto-poster is going to be released here shortly since these so called "new / dead users" need to be posting. So I have the void covered now with the auto-posting of "REAL" content finalized. Just doing a bit more touch-ups and will create a new hack just for the users that this tool creates and the usernames the End-user wants to define...

It's a lite hack and will expand on it as time allows. Just as I said it's here for a learning curve, and if anything think of click fraud on Google is more burdensome than my little ole "suggestion." I never have used Google for advertising but hear of Google being sued non-stop due to click fraud. (see for yourself)

Remember this hack is up to whomever wants to use it and they can consult with their "licensed/barred attorney" on how much fraud this imposes to add massive users vs how you can add a single user inside the backend of vBulletin as the admin... No drama here, just the facts that I appreciate to go off a very viable source for "legal information."

Ok folks, enough of the "missing" voids, a few days later we now have:

EPC Autoposter for vBulletin Hack!

So enjoy!

Yahoo does not own Yahoo Group content. I'm sure people can actually create their own Yahoo Groups, therefore it is either the group creator or posting members there's content, not that of Yahoo. It's like Jelsoft going after all those who take content from vBulletin forums, or Invisionfree going after all those who take from forums hosted by them. It's not their problem, it's that of the individual owner.

About this modification though. While I do not really agree with the idea of it, it happens to be a legitimate modification which may have some uses. Maybe to register members who cannot register normally by bulk because of spam controls being too strict, or for various other reasons. Or to import from an old forum on mass.

Besides, anyone who misuses it only has themselves to blame. You can easily see what forums will use this or the fake statistics mod due to ratios between posts and members or the like.

Good to know about the Yahoo groups so others can chime in on! Thanks for sharing that valuable information here.

As you stated and we stated, no one is responsible for other's actions and reactions all in all, you do what you want, take responsibility :) Thanks again cheat-master30!

I`ve just downloaded and installed cant wait to see the results of massive user creator + auto poster. It is an awesome combo for forum owners. Thank you.

You are very welcome and if you require any assistance, you know feel free to let us know. We have just now added another hack to go with this whole series we have made so far. Just here to broaden the minds is all!

I have noticed on alot asking us to help make releases which we are doing on a per request basis, we have noticed that some are missing the core requirements of having XML_RPC compiled in to make this work...

If you upload the rpc_users.php file and then display it in a browser and see this:


This means one thing, your PHP hasn't been complied in with XML_RPC, do note if you do a phpinfo() or view your PHP info make sure to verify that you have XML_RPC compiled in and it's showing.

If you have installed this on your forums, and go point your browser to the rpc_users.php and see this:

This means everything works perfectly :)

Thought I would post this in hopes to help others out with this issue, make sure you have XML_RPC installed to use this. It's the means of communication of the application to the forums/server.

Best regards,
BTR




Edited and added in:

If you have SSH you can verify if PHP Pear package XML_RPC is installed by checking:

If it's not showing up, you can type in the following to be sure, in ours it shows installed so it's just simply ignoring the pear command:

To learn more about XML_RPC go here:

Hope this helps!
