Is there a hack to make it look like there is more people logged onto your site then there really is?

I am looking for something that would show some dummy users (not really members) online. To make it seem that a site is more happening then it really is?

I find that it's really hard to get people to join a new site with very little activity.

If you have any other suggestions I would like to hear it as well.

Thanks
Iceman

Could hard code some names into the template.

How would you do that?

Please explain?

Is there any Bot time of things I could add?

search for the users online template then simply place a few names in there with links to fake users. No need to edit any code.

Would there be a way to have them be online at certain times and then offline at certain times?

Is that possible?

I realize this is sort of an old thread, but I'd like to echo the above post... can we do this, only with it timed?

gah, never mind. I need something like this for the latest version. 3.5

As much as I would hate such a hack, I can see the demand for it.

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