Those are real views. Keep in mind most of our traffic historically hasn't been registered which means they can read but can't respond. But for over a year, the board has been broken so that people CAN'T sign up at all so all they can do is read. Often traffic comes in via searches so some topics draw due to content, others are simply views by people surfing the site.

If you question it, try clicking and reclicking your own page. You won't see the number go up accordingly because it's unique visits to your page. So those really are real clicks to your post. It doesn't mean they ever come back, it simply means they landed on your page for any number of reasons.

As for getting people to donate, heck there's people who post here nearly every day and have for decades and have never donated a penny. That's just reality. But thanks to the few that stepped up after Bob's efforts, I am going to use that money and the rest out of pocket to update the board. It is so very long overdue, but I am truly appreciative of those who DO support us (and as you can look for yourself, have for many years) and you guys deserve an up to date board. There are tech problems that must be solved so it won't be immediate, but I have already hired someone and he's helping me figure out what we need to do. There are a few bells and whistles that we can't afford to add, but at least people will be able to register and we can start adding new people again for the first time since spring of 2015.

So sincere thanks to Bob and others for their support. And it isn't too late for anyone else who wants to help. All the money is going directly back into this board, so if you want more stuff (and more traffic, we do amazingly well for a board that hasn't had a single update since 2006) drop a little bread in the jar so to speak.

Thanks again!

Brian
