That's actually very interesting, but wouldn't you have to alter this information constantly to keep it up to date?

EDIT: Ahem... never mind.

[The Blaatschapen]

Nice info.

Can you also figure out which are the most popular threads?

[Meso Smatonia]

You can do that yourself by looking at the amount of views they have.

You can do that yourself by looking at the amount of views they have.

But you can't tell if one person viewed it multiple times.

[Meso Smatonia]

Yes you can. It adds a view point every time the link is clicked on.

[Dystara]

But it doesn't differentiate between different users.

[Meso Smatonia]

Wait, what?

[Dystara]

Just click on any unpopular thread buried in the forums, leave, then click it again, leave. It'll gain two views.

I really don't think that's an issue....

[The Scandinvans]

Thank you, this data shall help me plan my conquest of the forums or my defense of them when LG's spawn take over NSG.

I know, just that I have a perverse love of proving people wrong.
