    And now the thread views are back to the normal range (150 - 500) for the past couple days? Strange...

    We're still getting upwards of 800 per day. Overall site use continues to climb.

    Kind of figured that, but funny to think about.

    I remember what you're talking about, but it seems to have disappeared now. Go to page 10+ and there's something like 100-400 views per thread. So it doesn't seem like new users are driving it.

    Go to page 36, 37, 38 views are in the thousands.... I agree I don't think new members are causing this because the numbers should still be high, but they are back down to where they previously were....

    We also emailed all users during that time period, which created a massive spike in traffic for a few days.

    But it would explain why all of the ISO:FT threads were bumped. I find it hard to believ people were signing up and the first thing they were doing is reading each and every ISO:FT thread. Doesn't matter to me but the spoke was obvious and odd.

    I noticed this too. I figured it was the Bros messing around with how the software recognizes each viewer. I would have to imagine that the current numbers are unique viewers, while the high numbers were total page views regardless of if the viewer has seen it before. But I could be totally wrong ofc.
