In reply to the discussion: To recommend, or, not to recommend? [View all]PufPuf23
(8,843 posts)11. Made a post about 6 weeks ago in an issue forum that has nearly 5500 views,
6 recommendations, and 2 responses.
Thought all the views were weird and almost contacted the forum host.
Just about never have anything to do with moderation.
But pondered over why so many views. Most posts in forum have 200-400 views. Found just a handful of posts over 1000 views and one with a little over 3000 views but nothing close to 5500. Usually pretty much ignored at DU.
Only thing could figure was the post was linked to some other site (included a video).
