I am well aware of how to measure traffic Newman. Thread view is not nearly as important as you make it out to be because thread views were bloated in the past because people that really had no interest in what was for sale were tuning in for “drama”. Now that things are more focused, and drama is at a standstill, the thread views will drop. Your points were noted and we are working on feasible solutions. In the meantime, instead of depending on “new posts”, people should consider taking the extra 10 seconds to click on the classifieds and skim it if you want to see if anything new is posted.
Again, this thread is for people actively using the system to provide feedback. Please keep speculation out. The system will continue to evolve as we get more tools to work with.
