Fake Community Statistics · **Released**: 05-14-2006

Due to the recent announcement of Internet Brands telling they are suing XenForo, I decided to immediately stop updating my vBulletin modifications, because I am not supporting this action.

Thanks for the hack. I am testing it right now but one question I have in mind, I have noticed other people are asking the same thing and I am not sure if there is already a solution for that or it is not working on my test board.
When you add some usernames that should appear online and you put your mouse on over the fake usernames that are online you don't get a link to their user profile but a dead link.
Is there a way thatcould be actually members I register manually and the names can point to there profiles?

Awesome hack!

It's a tough world out there for newcomers and this is exactly the kind of help they need to help them get by. I applied to my own forum and it looks great.

Question.. about the WOL, I noticed if the numbers are low, it does not look very realistic ex: 16 users online 8 members & 8 guests but only 3 of each are visible.

I just wanted to add a few things.
I have been running this hack for a few days now(works great!) and I thought up of a few things that might improve this hack.

1) random display from fake names list - this would be great if we created a dictionary of fake usernames which exceeded the total no. of fake online users, then the hack would randomly pick that number from the list to display.

2) link fake online users to basic profiles. - even if they had no posts etc. it could prove better to have a basic profile to view than simply popping back to the forum front end.

3) Randomly show users browsing assigned forums - assign forums and then have the system display the fake online users randomly in those forums.

3) show users in the WOL. - Same as above except in the WOL it would show them browsing forums (randomly assigned)

Thats about it , I just wanted to share these ideas because I noticed that many people noticed the same names on the forum all the time and that the member profiles don't work etc.

Hope some of these features will be considered

Love this hack btw. - thanks for a great addon

Need improvements. The IPB guys have the one which takes the users from the database, and make them online, also they will be showed as browsing different things and threads.

How can you see that a forum is using fake stats? Which are the signs?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
