The natural behavior of vbulletin notifies guests if there are new posts since their last visit to the site, thats NOT a hack.

Is it a hack or something else?

If the icon if flashing, then yes thats possibly a hack, but vbulletin still notifies guests if there is a new post since their last visit regardless, using the new post icon.

That site can simply be using a animated gif as its "new post icon".
