[XB] User Fake Activity: AI Content, Online Users & Simulated Engagement 2.1.2

Simulate member activity in XenForo with AI-generated discussions, automated replies, page views, reactions, follows, registrations, and other community interactions.

User Fake Activity provides configurable automation for creating simulated forum engagement. Use OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or OpenAI-compatible services to generate content and member profiles, schedule activity through independent triggers, and monitor results through an administrator dashboard.

Control activity frequency, user selection, content targeting, AI generation, and resource usage while keeping automated actions within configured limits.
