What are the most viewed threads?

[ez4u]

I was reading Kirby's adventures at the go congress when I noticed that his study journal has a rather amazing 187,462 views. That made me wonder what are the most viewed threads here at L19?

I couldn't find a way to sort threads by views so I will appeal to those more knowledgeable or those with access to the database. Can anyone produce a top-ten list of most viewed threads? We can skip the stickied instructions on how to use L19.

Those are mostly bot and spider views if L19 is set up like most other wide open forums. If you watch that number, it will probably grow by hundreds in a single day.

Clearly that is not the case at L19. It is trivial to click on any forum and go to the oldest page ~2010. You will see that the threads there have not accumulated a lot of views during the last 9 years. So I think that it is reasonable to believe that the threads with really high counts are those that people have found most interesting. Needless to say, I could still be wrong for a different reason!

I can't produce a top ten list but here are a few threads with many views:

This 'n' that 127931
Mainstream go sightings 121512
Following Iyama Yuta (no world ranking discussions) 97258
The Reign of Ke Jie 86258
Engine Tournament 85656
How to become a dan 61620

In the end this turned out to be idiotically simple (i.e. real easy but too challenging for this idiot )! At the bottom of the screen when we list the topics in a forum we are given the choice to "sort by:" visits (among other things). So I can choose visits, hit 'Go' and see the answer to my query myself. So much for that!
