  • Counting thread views & replies

    I'd be curious to know...

    Is there a way to easily see which threads have generated the most "views" in the history of this board? I noticed that the "Case versus Akaka" one has passed 10,000 views, and the now-closed "Reputation" thread has generated over 20,000 - just two examples of heavily-viewed ones.

    For that matter, what threads have generated the most replies over time?

    Admin/moderators - if you feel like wasting your time on a hunt for this info, please do! Just as a little informal social experiment, that's all.

      Wow - nearly half of these have something to do with television.

      Get out of the house, people, away from your tvs & computers - lucky you live Hawai`i, remember?!?!?!

        Being that 1, 3, 6, 8. 10, & 13... our National TV shows...

        I'm sure a lot of the views come from "Mainland" people that never heard about HT... however, after visiting google and using key words they may have come across HT by accident.

        Just a thought though.

          Re: Counting thread views & replies

          This list is by the number of views. The list would be different if sorted by the most replies since some of the "What you had for lunch" threads seem to have a good number of replies but not much views.

            hummmm let's think about his one.... wouldn't you have to view it first to reply to it......?? so which means the # of views will always outnumber the replies because not everyone that view post a reply....

            So, it is correct to run the report by the most viewed based on Leo Lakio original request....

            just my 2 cent...

            mahalo...
            Tayo

            FINALLY HOME IN HAWAI'I!

              The list provided by admin is the top 23 viewed threads. Which Leo did ask initially but he also asked which threads has the most replies to it. If such a list did get generated it will be different from the first list. For instance ranks 3, 8, 13, and 21 would be gone (due to under a 100 replies), maybe 6, 12, 14, 16 and perhaps 23 (101 to 160 replies) as well.

              By the way the last entry of the 23 top viewed thread is at 9010 views with 159 replies. One example to note is the thread titled What's for lunch - Chapter 8. While it has an impressive reply count of 263 it only has view count of 5428, which is way less than 9010 views. It didn't make the most viewed list but it would make the most replied list.

              It would be interesting to see what the members of HawaiiThreads are talking about verus what other people are seeing what we talk about.
