I would go check myself, but I don't know the layout well enough to do a correct search. Just in case, however it has not been brought up, I will tell you now. I made a post one hour ago about a computer question I had. After I finished revising the post, I posted it. That's when I noticed that it already had two views. I didn't think much of it, but I reloaded the page anyway. Then the view counter went up to four views. That's when I realized that something wasn't right. So I held the F5 Key for 5 seconds and when I let go, the view count jumped to twenty-seven. So I quickly open my programing software and wrote out a simple program that would refresh that page every 0.1 Seconds and just left it running. http://sonicblast.org/topic/7422413/1/#new As you can see this one post has over 23,000 views and not a single reply. Something like this could be abused very easily. Again sorry if this has been brought up before, and thank you for your time.

I'm not sure if there's much we can really do about it. I don't think it's that big of a problem, really. Topic views don't really bump the topic any and what most people should be aiming for is actual replies. If there's someone who's legitimately abusing this for whatever reason, they have way too much time on their hands. But thanks for bringing it up Bluecore. Always good to have confirmation of things like this.
