If I'm lurking into a new forum I usually sort by viewcount because those are sometimes the best threads -> usually means the thread has been linked to from other places.

Folks,

As I'm sure at least some of you have surmised, the reason for the (maybe temporary change) is that some of our users have decided that large view counts, even if artificially created, are a good thing. Unfortunately twice in the last 3 weeks this has increased the load on the forums to the point where they become unusable. This wastes all of our time.

Conspiracy theory #1: Instead of users, it was actually a consortium of our real life employers and customers who yearned for a few hours of bona fide productivity from hopelessly addicted 2p2 employees.

What will they think of next? [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I guess as long as the sort by views functionality retains the ability to put the most viewed at the top it doesn't matter - and it looks like it does.

I'm 99.5% sure that it would keep the most views at the top since this would be an SQL call something like, "select top 100 ID from threads where forumID = @ForumID order by pageviews" and there's no reason to modify that stored procedure for the "1000+" cosmetic display change.

It should atleast go in increments like 1k, 5k, 10k, 20k, so on and so on.

2+2 has some of the dumbest 'upgrades' I have ever seen.

What next? how about "1000+ Posts" under everyone's avatar while we're at it. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

pete,

I think 2p2 recognizes the potential tuq related suicides that would stem from this plan

I would very much like to see this.
I'm more embarassed by my high post-count than anything else. The ability to block or delete it would be awesome.
