This is kinda cheating, but oh well.
If you want your forum to appear to have more users online at once, you can change the session timeout.
The default setting for this is 900 (15 mins). So if the user hasn't been active within that time, they appear as offline.

But, if you changed this session timeout to say 3600 (60 mins) all the people who's session should have ended don't for another 45 mins.

So, if your wondering how to do this, simply visit admin cp www.yoursite.com/forum/admincp (http://www.yoursite.com/forum/admincp).

At the top, click vBulletin Options. You should now get a list of options you can change. Now scroll down to Cookies and HTTP Header Options (You could just type c on your keyboard if you have selected the drop down).

The very first setting should be Session Timeout, this should have a defualt value of 900. You can now change this to what ever you want (Keep it realistic).

Sorry, but this is hardly a tutorial, but I have to say it's handy for the vBulletin forum owners though, wouldn't use myself :)

Yeah, but I meant it's not a tutorial that should be stuck, although it's handy you can't call it a Tutorial of the year or something.

I don't get why you would want to claim to have more vistors than you actually have...?

I hate people who do this as it means that when you look at the whos online page it displays many idle people for ages ago which basically gives it away straight away giving the forum a sence of it being dead due to there being 20 members online but none of them posting.
