Just run the script, its pretty much self explanatory - I tested it pretty good, I had a few problems with it at first, but Hopefully they are all worked out.
FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY - Dont come runnin to me when you got 50 categories and you didnt want them.

Maybe I should Explain what it does.
Say your making a new mod, and you need a few posts in a forum. Well instead of posting them all yourself - Just go to fake_snitz.asp and click 'add topics' - select the amount of topics you want to add, and wala - done.
Same thing with adding categories, forums, and members.
Thats why its named 'fake snitz'  , it sorta 'fakes' all the new stuff.

I tried it out...pretty good way to post to forum for testing purposes when there are no posts on your development forum.
cool.

yw - that static page for the search engine thing was the inspiration. Gor suggested it. I had no clue what he was talking about until I actually saw the static pages and stuff.

Well...I know I added 50 dummy users and a lot of posts into a MySql database by hand when I needed to test paging of topics and members in combination with MySql...when I saw Azknights request for posts and Da_Stimulator looking for things to do.... 
Haven't tested it yet...but thanks in advance !

I just now added the ability to delete all forums under a cateogory, and delete all topics from a forum - was gonna do delete all topics by member, but I gotta go in like 2 minutes.

Da_Stimulator,
Very nice development tool. This will help save a LOT of time when starting work on a mod and testing it from a clean forum DB. Very nice indeed...
Are there any other interesting devlopment tools hiding out there? Maybe something that, oh I don't know, writes/develops/debugs all your code for you? Guess not, eh? ****. Wish I had a clone...
Sincerely,
Brent Trevel,

Awesome mod!! This helps out - saving time from having to post enough replies to have paging turned on.
Hey with a little normalization of the data being written out, someone could use this to pad up their forum with users and posts!
Forum Owner 1: "I have 100 members!"
Forum Owner 2 reads that and thinks, "hmmm...he has out done me again. but wait, here's fake snitz...I'll run it."
Forum Owner 2: "I have 150 members!"
Forum Owner 1, not wanting to be outdone downloads fake snitz and runs it three times.
Forum Owner 1: "Oh yeah, my forum is better! I now have 250 members!"
Forum Owner 2, retaliates with running fake snitz 10 times.
Forum Owner 2: "I have done better! I have 650 users."
Thus the acronym of MAD comes back from the Cold War and is reborn at the Snitz:
Mass Addition (of) Data.
At some point, our two forum owners will bring down their ISP's by running fake snitz in an endless loop, adding 500 users/second....
