OK! So what if you prove it's a coverup? You still won't get a week's stay at the Hilton Paradise or a free trip to the ISS! So relax! Anyway, I don't see it as a big deal. Neither an orgiastic delight in seeing the number of hits/views for one's thread!

Cheers!

No money for upgrades?
Kinda shameless considering the income from banners on this site.
Especially when the 'back' function on this site doesn't direct you to the previous page, but the previous banner on this page.

Folks...... the true measure of how successful a thread may be is NOT how many people Looked at it as much as how many people Responded to it.

The REPLIES are the true test of how well one has posted something that evokes membership response.

IMEO, of course.

Perhaps I should start another thread, but I would like to address another problems.

First, the banner place for flagged topics



How does a thread get there? I always assumed that it was related to the number of flags, but seriously doubt that now. Do mods have the possibility to put a thread over there manually?

The problem I personally have with this, is that I see the topics of specific members there much more often than that of others, regardless of the quality. I remember a case of a couple of weeks in which a member (I won't mention names) had a thread on this banner place, while the topic was already posted before by another member who did not get such special attention/''free advertisement space'' In my humble opinion that discourages other people from posting since others get the credits''.

Second, time - I've been member for quite some time now and ever since the time cannot be set according to your location, properly. Is it ever gonna be fixed or not, because it's not useful at all.

i was noticing some strange things about the views per thread, after a certain usualy truthful post was made in a thread people would stop looking at the thread and it would dissapear down the order.in contrast ridiculous,disingenious threads would aquire enormous amounts of views and remain at the top of the order.

with the views per thread function you could judge how many people were looking at a thread in reference to time,and patterns would emerge for example some threads would attain a high number of views and little replies and others many replies but few views,and if you looked at the content of the threads more patterns would emerge,usually once again truthful threads seeking to disclose the reality would aquire many views but few replies,whislt threads promoting the lies of the alien agenda were full of replies buy aquired few views.

the message is there is an organised conspiracy being created here on this website,and any information that helps to form and promote that illusion are always given the most attention and support,the view function was showing this deception...........that thr alien conspiracy is a mask for future ai's actions and presence.

The intense traffic on this website is a good kind of problem to have.

There used to be a commercial on TV that showed some guys standing around a computer monitor as their internet "start up" goes online for the first time. Cheers erupt as their first order comes in and then the counter mounts to tens and then hundreds of orders. Finally the room falls into dejected silence as the counter rockets to millions of orders.

Will there come a time on ATS when threads are limited to ten posts?

I like the views counter but I can live without it.

Page Views..............that phrase and I was lost, couldn't say I have really noticed it was there or now gone.

I come here to read many posts, share in a few and look like a complete idiot in more than I care to say.

ATS does not stand for A Talent Show and lets see how many views I get, I can honestly say some threads I click on I regret after the first few posts because you just know the conversation is heading down the pan.

If what any of us posts as a new thread is credible and any good then trust me most people with a IQ higher than 10 will read it, appreciate it, learn something new from it and maybe just add to it.

Nuff said

Can anyone post at least 3 links to forums with view counters disabled? If counters cause problems other webmasters will implement the same remedy.

Some topics are more interesting than others, and the counter is a good indicator of that -- they are like sales figures. That's why board designers include them when they build the software.

btw, does anyone know why this site dumps so much garbage into temp internet files?
