Title: View Counter
Post by: Rya.Reisender on October 26, 2009, 10:26:03 AM

Is the view counter really working? The numbers seem really high. Like one of my thread stayed completely unanswered but has >400 views. Either we have hundreds of lurkers or you guys check out the same threads daily. xD

I suspect search engine bots giving a certain amount of daily views to all threads. particularly the google bot likes PHP based forums ;)

In other threads people told they are fairly sure this forum has a high amount of readers, but only a few active writers.

If you have a catchy topic title many will open it. If the message then is difficult to answer, or doesn't inspire people for answering, it might stay unanswered, despite the many reads - just an idea.
