Fake Viewers
 

I have seen there is a fake statistics add-on. i think it would be an even better idea to be able to have fake viewers. where it says (## viewing) in the forums. you would be able to set the number of "fake" people viewing. i think this would make people sign up a lot faster if they know (think) theres a lot of people viewing

Agreed, let me know if you find that hack.

will do!

Count me in... I would like to know also

well i dun know why but on my site tat "hasnt been opened" yet is getting alot of views for the threads. But i only view them once and no one else is on it.

Did anyone come out with this? :)

Would love to see this...

not finished? i need this module

I don't get it, if no one is viewing your forums right now -- why would simply seeing a fake number with no new threads/posts change that?

I mean, to each their own, obviously.. but I, personally, don't get it.

Have you personally ever signed up to a forum based solely on how many people were viewing a thread?

This is available, try searching

The reason behind it is to make your forums look a little busier than they might be.
If a guest sees an empty forum they might be inclined to turn about face, content or no content, its one of those point of views thingys!!

Also interested!

Fake forum statistics do not bring this function...
