It would be nice if this was supported by vba. I would install then. But I can make up my own screen names and it will work just as good.. I mean it is a great hack if you wasn't using a vba portal.

Hi,
and don't understand how fake community works? Can someone explain me?
Is it only for registered useres? For Example there are 100 registered useres and I fake the stats and it shows 200.
Or can I also fake the users who are online> for exapmle the are 15 users online and it shows that thera are 40?
How does this work?
Thanks in advance :)

Please release the next version with all the options for 3.6.2 soon!

I am looking for something like this but just to make the VIEW page look more meaning this pages been viewed so many times can this do that ? l got enough members no need to boost it but some pages ( posts & threads) needs boosting plz if this does not do it can u work on some thing like that to me or to most ppl view is very important now that make a big boost on topics
and make the forum boost... by the way i installed this while back on older version since my site is member only did not work well cuz it boost the guest list also and thats why i deleted it..

whens this gonna get off beta?? ppl notice that i have fake users as they dont lead to any profiles...

I disabled until then its to fake 4 sure my members are quiet smart peeps!! I concur let me know too!!

Ok, I installed this. (on vb 3.6.2)

How the heck do you change the settings now???

All I want to change is the amount of registered users.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. (duh!)

In the admin cp under vb options.

Um problem.

"Most users ever online was 1"

But before I added this plugin it was like 1762 or something.

WTF?

Edit: adding link to my forum so you can see: http://snitchseeker.com/forum/

I don't want to cheat on amount of users online or most online. Those numbers are fine. I just want to "fake" the total amount of reg'd users because we deleted a bunch of inactive ones to trim the db and now the "fake" number reflects the amount before the purge.

I just fixed this by editing the "forumhome_complete" code..

I just commented out this:
like this:
Now it's back to 1739

Here's a good suggestion, why don't you explode() the $activeusers variable into the array then asort() the array to make it alphabetical then str_replace() the user who is logged in to get rid of it. Then add it to the start and implode() back to how it was. The end effect of that means the fake users will be spread out alphabetically and won't be in a big lump at the beginning as well as the user who is viewing the forum will be at the beginning as it would be before this mod is installed.
