Rule of thumb: This forum gets more readers than you think, but fewer than it says.
Fine, that's basically bullshit. How this site is drawing many hundreds of views at every hour has to a new wonder of the world.
Sure you'll drag in some random lost souls
every once in a while but really what's to see?
And no one has addressed my little refreshing
experiment where I influenced the view total
significantly within minutes.
So new refreshes are counted but not the drop offs?
Just get rid of it. It's false.
Falsehoods do not belong on a fraud alert site
