That makes sense -- after all, the Lounge thread is a very active one. What I can't figure out is why Scoops is getting all these hits when there hasn't been a single post made on it in two months (it is locked).

A lot of folks must be debating coming to the FLL/PBI do?

There is a link in the PBI-FLL thread to "Scoops" but it would not explain 22,000 views in the past two months (since the thread was locked).
The PBI-FLL thread itself only has 22,000 views -- and that includes many which were made before the last two months (the thread started on April 14). Besides, it does not seem very logical to me that every time someone views the PBI-FLL thread he clicks on "Scoops" as well.
Remember that each person can only get one view per day, so even if the exact same people are visiting it every day (which would be extremely strange) that means that for the past two months 360 different people have gone there every day.
Frankly, I doubt that anybody visits it daily -- not even BEYFlyer or myself -- so there have to be a lot more people looking at it.
I just can't figure out who they are.

They won't show until after tonight when the scores are final. If you click on scoreboard you can see the games "in progress". You still have three players that haven't played yet but you still beat me.

I guess Canarsie was right during the post UCS/pre Lounge discussion period, there is a bit of a social networking demand here.
My bloody browser doesn't update page count properly, so I missed the exact moment. But I still might have gotten the view.

look at the thread on the siteseer contest, you can get them each a quick 250 or 500 miles this month.
I don't get it and the thread Canarsie pointed out is also confusing me. Some people claim every credit will delay expiry, some say only certain activity does Any experts here

Where does that put this thread in relation to the most viewed threads on FT??
The 800# gorilla of FT threads seems to finally have slowed down. It's at 638,000 views and holding.
I'm guessing this thread must be in second or third place.
