Just a question...Why?

Well, we already have a thread reply counter. Personally, I don't think that we really need one for thread views.

It may show that people have looked at the thread but chose not to reply, or whatever the case may be, but in my experience it's usually better to judge a thread based on its content, rather than just the number of views it's getting.

I am not sure that I see or understand how displaying that data would be helpful or improve anyone's use of the forums.

Since we are (supposedly) here to share our thoughts, opinions, experiences, ideas and views.... we already see the number of pages, the number of replies (as both can show how active or large a thread is), we see the last post date/time and the name of the last responder....

What information could a view counter provide that would assist members?


Well I notice a lot of the times that many of my posts will drop real fast and never get noticed, or at least I think.. The thread views counter, would at the very least, let the thread creator know that people noticed his post, just chose not to reply.. I can't say so for everyone, but there are lots of threads I peek into, skim real quick and move on if I dont feel like posting. In this sense, a thread views ticker may show hey this is something you may want to take a peek at but there isn't a need to respond. I agree it itsn't dire or necessary, but it would be cool..

It would just increase the amount of "20 views, no replies? C'mon guys!" bumps in threads. Really not important at all.

Maybe a thread view counter inside the thread....however I think it's superfluous to have it outside of the thread like you are proposing.

I agree with you all now, especially on this point Redneck Sparten has made above.. There would be a thousand " post your best,,, to a thousand replies" threads all on the same thing.

I am a Floodian

I don't see the point for thread views. If anything, thread views would only be insulting.

Ex.
Member 1: "Okay so I have 500 post views, lets see how many replies I have... only 10"
Member 2: "Yeah, your thread wasn't very important or meaningful. I think everyone just viewed it to see how dumb it was considering your title was CAPCAPCAPSEXCLAMATIONTROLLINGPHRASEEXCLAMATIONOMGCAPSCAPSCAPS
Member 1: "So... I'm a looser?"
Member 2: "Yeah, now get away from me, your making me look bad you freak."

^^
Good times right.
