Bet this gets more bumps than his vanity threads.
(Editors Note) This thread was formerly called Mudbutt sucks the big one thread.
I changed the title. Now you can debate if it is wisdom or unwisdom.
You should assume at least 80% of those are search engine bots and other spiders. Stone has no restrictions at all on them on the entire site, unlike LP or 4um who allowed none of those spiders to index their sites.
Then consider how many times you've hit Refresh yourself on those pages. The number of page views will have shrunk. A lot. Probably under 100K.
Ask Pinguinite if you don't believe my estimates. LF does not exclude known spiders from its view count.
BTW, any single new post made will force the spiders to index the thread again. So you will discover this post by me in the index in the next few hours. And the view count will go up another 5 or so as a result of Google and Bing and DDG and other spiders visiting to pick up my comment. Try it out using various search engines in a few hours and you'll see what I mean.
It would be interesting to see the counts month by month, post-vs-view, over the 10 years to track them. The forum software wasn't designed to do that. New Perl code would have to be written.
