and, Bats... it's just referring to that little stat thing labeled "Views" that appears in the thread lists.
I didn't know WTH they were talking about at first either.

Bits thread counter thread is gonedisapeared
what is a thread counter,
and where would it go?
Ok, I can only assume that the above is your "legit" question. Answer: Part 1: A thread counter shows how many views a thread has had. Part 2: It only goes up. Part 3 (This is for the question you probably should have asked, i.e., "What thread is gone?"): Bitflipper posted a topic that "someone" was artificially boosting the thread view count on one or more topics. It (for some mind boggling reason) apparently upset one or more members so he asked it to stop while implying he knew who was doing it. Things inevitably spiraled downwards from there then the entire topic vanished in a puff of dried fertilizer. There you go. Legit answers which I probably shant offer again!

It was speculated on for a while and the closest to a logical "reason" was that since the forum can be sorted by "Mosted Viewed" that someone was gaming that little aspect... which I don't think anyone ever uses anyway (I sure don't). Or maybe it's a Google thing to bump up the thread in its search rankings... but that again seems hardly worth the effort.

Except that the guy with the inflated view count was the one complaining about it...

I do hope there isn't going to be a test. Because I still have absolutely no idea whatsoever what happened or what any of this means

craigb seems to have summed it up nicely for bats.
It's really nothing to be concerned about. Just odd.
