You get told there are new posts when you are just a Guest? This sounds like some hack. I would ask them at the other site what hack they are using.
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".
