Default Can you spoof the user count on vB?

I'm curious about spoofing online users on vb and other forums. One of my competitors just went from a max of about 16 concurent users at peak time to over 60 users most of the time in one day.
Just curious,
David

That would be a lot harder, but you could do it.

Or just change the cookie timeout, the higher, the longer people stay logged in.
