I was wondering if there was a way to make my forum look a little more alive with "fake guest" numbers.

Say for instance where it says "General Discussion (3 Viewing)"

Is there a way to change it to say "General Discussion (27 Viewing)" just so it looks a bit more alive?

I've heard of a few people doing this, but wasn't sure how to do it. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Thanks

the best thing is to invite all your friends and family... real users is always better... people get used to fake users and never come back.

I have done those things and we are active, but I would like to make it look a wee bit more alive.

There's a hack on this site somewhere for fake stats. However, why kid yourself?

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