At 733,000+ views, it looks like The Caption Competition thread in the Fun and Games Forum has a chance. Do we have any other contenders?

Gokul43201 said:It makes sense that the CCT and TKC - with a large number of posts - have lots of views. And one can also guess the pretty obvious rationale for the disproportionately large number of views (>300,000) for a mere 26 reply-thread by Wollie titled "Blue Tits"! But what causes a 14-reply thread by Zz about a "Really Expensive Cat Toy" to have over 400,000 views? Is this all the proof one needs that slowly but surely, the cats are taking over?

Hmmm, interesting! Upon further investigation:Dembadon said:Re "Really Expensive Cat Toy" thread:
One would probably need to take into account the fact that "cat toy" is likely a very popular Google search term. It could be that online shoppers stumble into the thread while surfing/shopping around, but soon move on when they realize that it is not what it seems.
Gokul43201 said:Why does the pet toy market go crazy every Fall? And more importantly, why did hamsters start demanding toys only last year?
lisab said:Hmm, that got me curious. I found this with just "toys":

So I'm thinking Christmas is the reason for the sudden interest every fall.

I believe that is is anyone that visits and views a post.jobyts said:400,000 views for a cat toy looks like a bug to me. Does the number of views count only the PF registered visitors? or anyone who clicks the link after a google search is counted?
Woot! Look at Zz's Disney Mania!Andre said:Here is an overview of some threads and average daily visiting rate, the views are of last hour.
Obviously we need to monitor the views for some time to have an idea of which thread is likely to hit seven figures and when.
BobG said:None of those are in a science forum?
In fact, the two most viewed threads in the General Phsics forums is a thread about "The Final Theory" that disputes just about all known physics principles and a merged thread about Airplanes and Conveyor Belts. (Can we change the name of that thread to "The Great Red Spot of Jupiter" seeing as how that question is similar to a never ending storm?)
dlgoff said:Wow Andre. I just realized the the caption competition thread should hit the million mark before the end of the earth.
I'll bet I'm close if you count my GD posts.rewebster said:which poster will be the first to hit 100K posts?
