The view counts are currently only updated once an hour anyway. But I have always maintained that "views" matters more than posts, especially in threads like picture threads, or prayer request threads. People can view and enjoy a thread without having either anything new to say, the time or inclination to post. I read every prayer request thread, but don't often post if it's already got plenty of "prayers on the way" type responses, because I have sent my prayers by then, and don't feel posting so adds much. Likewise, if 10 people have already said "great pictures!" my saying it again isn't going to add much.

And Richard, that little traffic sign is the mechanism by which you - or someone else - can report an offensive post to the moderators - a.k.a. Paul and myself. Go ahead, you can click it, it won't hurt.
