Bob, I have no idea. The forum software keeps track of that by itself. Maybe it's a bug. I have not been paying attention to this at all, as I mostly read the forum on my phone and this number doesn't show unless I turn the phone on a side.

@Harry it looks like this

Inquiring minds have to know. How does this post have over 20,000 views in 2 months on a forum with 200 or so members? My apologies if I am missing something.

Sorry, these things intrigue me!

You just need to figure out how to turn all those bot views into income!

haha, Bob, if I wanted to bring in some money with this site, there are ways, first being allowing advertising on all pages. But when I visit other sites and I get those video pop up ads, it annoys me. I think we're better this way.

At the moment I can afford paying all the expenses for supporting the site. There may be a time when I live on a very small income supporting my family. and maybe then I can no longer afford the yearly expense. But we will cross that bridge when we get there.

I see the sister cci site is doing very well, they get 99% of the new tractor guys. I'm happier here, for me it's a less corporate, more like a shop where we guys talk tractors. But I understand also that other people like it there more. I know we're not generating a lot of sales for you the parts guys, so thank you for still sticking around. Who knows, maybe one day things change.

I see a post started by JSinMO on 9/4 that has 55001 views. There must be a lot of guests viewing the site. Harry

I agree with everything @Eugen said here... two to Eugen for a job well done, and for being able to afford hosting a forum like this.

It certainly has a way of bringing like minded people together to sit around a virtual shop and shoot the breeze... Knowing that vendors are following the forum is a plus, hopefully one day we'll get a Canadian vendor, or somebody might want to expand north of the border - anything for a break on shipping, exchange rates and duties/taxes...
