"View count" counts guests... which include bots. So it could be any number at any moment. No one really considers them valuable info.

No one really considers them valuable info.No.I dont think you understands me.after i saw the 15XX view increase,there was no name excepts mine in the "users browsed this thread".
i can prove this.Give me any random thread, i will try to increase the view count.

2) i repeat again, guests count in view counts, so at any time a view count can go high with a single member viewed it
3) No one cares about view count field. In fact the view field might even be removed in the future as its purpose is useless since guests are included in incrementing it. Its pointless. Dont worry about it.

if so ,is it possible that the thread owner could utilize this method to get more view counts and attract guests.however this is not a problem because Views are not a factor that indicates the perfection level of the thread.am i correct?

So the thread owner would just be wasting their time.

Views don't mean anything. So even if this was a bug (which it looks like it isn't), we wouldn't have any incentive to *fix* it since it doesn't matter.
