3 million views. Awesome, hopefully it won't attract spam.

I'm pretty sure that was from a bot gone haywire. There is no logical reason why that would have been read an order of magnitude more than any other post.

Sadly, assuming traffic here is similar to traffic on my site, I suspect a lot of these "views" are actually search engine crawlers (like Google) refreshing their indexes. It would be more interesting to see view counts of actual humans if only MyBB would exclude known crawler user agents from the counts.
