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.

Just a short note to everyone flaming Floris for this mod. If you are so upset about the concept of fake statistics then it would apepar to me that you are simply insecure about your site's ability to retain its members with original content.

Err, the only insecurities would be from those that feel the need to deceive their visitors. Those that don't, are the most unlikely to feel "insecure".

Lying and deceit ARE 2 main factors in insecurity.

I believe most running a serious above board business, see no long term value in being deceitful. But, each to their own

ok, lets all try to stop argueing over this. Be happy.

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

we had a HDD crash and lost roundabout 20.000 threads and aprx. 230.000 postings. That hack helps to get real stats back and therefor I like it. Sure, if you wanna fake your stats it makes it easy now. Otherwise, in my community we have about 3 million page hits a month and huge amount of posts each hour. What sense makes it to fake a page with 45 users online if they do not post one word in 2 hours

so, keep cool, everybody will see soon, if a board is busy or a stat-faked deadzone

This is insane man ! You lost 20.000 threads !! When you have such a big board you should backup daily.

This is such a pity ... so much information lost in the blink of an eye.

Yep, rather than installing a hack like this, you should be looking into automatic database backups.

Thank you, this is great plugin.
It helps small forums become big

How do you uninstall this from the db manually?

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