Is there a way to fake users browing a specific category?

I dont want to use it because my forum is growing but Ive seen some forums who have 240 users viewing a subforum but none of them post or even commnet. It is a dead forum

Thats one of your settings in admincp, the viewers are not separated so the 100 will be made up of bots/spiders and real users and they dont have to be logged in for that stat to show them viewing, i think it's with the option to show who's viewing a forum.

You can change it in phrases $vbphrase[x_viewing] or change it in:
forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and remove
<if condition="$show['browsers']"><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></if>
And the same in forumhome_forumbit_level2_post.
