I guess it depends what one is wanting...
If one wants to know how many people opened the post then I guess a counter would be informative.
But sometimes I open posts accidentally by clicking in the wrong place.
Sometimes I view one post more than once.
Sometimes I don't read the whole post.
Sometimes I open a post solely to babblemail the person.
If one wants to know what topics people like to read about then the simplest way would be to ask.
I don't much like the idea of the post counter.
If there was one there is the temptation to go 'my post was viewed 100 times and I only got 2 responses!!!'
It shifts the focus from what you get to what might have been.> With fewer people visiting the board now than anytime in the past year and probably in the past four years,
Really?????
Can you give me a link?
Are lurkers visits logged?>and with more specific topics for the smaller readership to choose between,
Are the topics more specific than they used to be? I thought we were branching out with all the different boards and all...
>According to site stats, more than 30 percent of the top 30 referers are sex or dating sites, including some about bestiality and others about couples seeking female partners.
You mean people join up to here by following a link from those sites?????
Can you give me a link please?
I'm not sure where you are getting this info...
There are several factors that influence whether I will respond to a thread or not. One of those is the subject header. But there are other factors for me.
And the factors vary depending on what mood I am in.
When I am down I might go on a 'silly' thread hunt.
When I am up I might go on a 'who doesn't have many responses' or a 'meet the newbie' hunt.
It varies...
