Yeah, I'm going to take your word for it ;). I'm not going there.

Yeah, trust me...don't.

Excuse me while I go scrub my eyes out...

More than 30K views in less than a week now! The rate of views are increasing quickly, even with the lull from holiday traffic in the US!

Are you sure that those aren't mostly bot views?

Why would bots be reading that one thread? What is a "bot view?" It's not normal for bots to read threads. Posting, sure. There is financial reasons to have bots post to threads. But there are not reasons to have bots reading threads. And if there are, that's probably legitimate traffic (collecting site info for a group of humans to read in another way.)

Google Bots often show up as traffic and can often register as a hit/view on a webpage. Considering that thread has over 100 pages, any number of things could be triggering the crawlers. It's just an idea, as it seems unlikely that there are that many people views each day and week.

Especially when you don't see it on nearly any other thread. It would seem odd that people would look at that one thread and vanish.

Ah, you mean a spider. Yes, Google, Bing, etc. are likely looking at the site from time to time as it is listed on them. But thousands of times per day is pretty unlikely.

Not odd at all. That's how SEO and searching works.

It just seems odd to me. Doesn't feel like human traffic.

Yeah, try not to feel the human traffic. You'll end up getting arrested.

Gonna hit 200K tomorrow.

We had the "Anything Goes" thread top 22K now taking it, as well, past the busiest thread on NodeBB's own forum!!
-
And today the same thread hits 250K views!! Wow. That gives us a pretty good metric on how long the first 100K took and how long the next 150K took, which was not too long!
