I'm sure there will be updates to this.

The difference with the fake users stats and this one, is that this one takes user from the member list, right?


Fake states creates names to display, but those names are pretty useless if people start clicking to see who is online.

All my members are blue, but this hack is giving them a green default color.

Also, can you make it so that users with a certain email address will not come online when the hack is enabled? Reason for this, I enabled registrations from the same email address to create some extra user to inflate my member lists. I used the same email address for all of them.

Being able to control which users come online through the email address is a good way to prevent real members from coming online via the mod.
I installed and tried this and the mod did bring up some of my real members, which is bad for business. This will help to avoid any real members from spotting their user names on the board even if they are not online.

You got my vote for MOD of the month!

This will definitely help to make the members look real and online.

This will also prevent real members from catching themselves online.

Thanks.

I've attached an image to explain this, in the other pic the hack is OFF and in the other the hack is on, members = 0 and visitors = 20.

*unistalls until this is fixed*

You can change this in the control panel.
Remove the active members option by changing it to zero.
Go to my forum and you will see that I only have members listed on the what's going on box.
Threads: 2,563, Posts: 4,028, Members: 692
That solves your problem.
Go to admincp --> vbulletin options --> forum home page options --> then look for "Active Members Time Cut-Off"
Set it to zero and enjoy!
bye.

Oopss, nevermind. I looked at the wrong active members. Sorry.

Yes, active members should be fixed, but nonetheless, this mod will remain installed. )

LOL

I REALLY like the idea but when I click a profile, it says:

Last Activity: 04-08-2005 11:34

Second of all, it's possible that people will see themselfs online, when they aren't.

I know for 100% that some of my members will go start asking questions. What should I tell 'em .

I have the same problem with him. Furthermore, in the forum home page, the (# Viewing) only show the real members who are viewing in specific forum. Can we make up number viewing in specific forums with this Fake User.?
