Most viewed thread in ST history?

Is hank rearden’s 2008 ToC story the most viewed? It has 70,000+ views. IIRC, a lot of them are attributable to the links to it from other online publications.

The Hottie Thread is/was in a class by itself.

Indeed…may it rest in peace.

Ya, I think the hottie thread had at least 1.2 million at last count. I think we would need a month long, nude mud wrestling competition of the top hotties in sport, to begin to approach that one…

Sadly, that was before my time on Slowtwitch so I only hear the tales passed down by the tribal elders.

see a common theme? people are drawn to the visual. and to the sexy, whether mankind, womankind, or velokind.

You should have seen what it did to the Slowtwitch servers. Trying to determine what you’d seen or not seen just killed the rendering of the index. That’s the reason it “moved”.

You can click on the “Replies” header to get some idea of other popular threads, although that number doesn’t always correlate with the views. For instance, “The Sergio” thread and the “Dirty Secrets” threads had a lot of replies.

Doh! I should have known that. It is still active/recent.

Thanks for posting the top 10.

Strange denizens of the pool is hot on the trail of being a top 10 thread…

I was going to click on the “Views” header to get my answer but noticed that it is the only one that doesn’t sort. Besides, that might not have been accurate if popular threads had been removed (i.e. Hottie).

ST must be “growing up”. Used to be that PowerCranks had 3 of the top 10 threads in the replies category but now there is only 1 (Liar, liar) and it is only #9. We aren’t even close in the views category, the highest being about 35k. Guess that shows there is a lot of passion about this topic amongst a very limited number of people.

we’d probably fine with it now. since then we’ve moved to a new cluster architecture with more and newer servers powering the site. i would imagine it’d be no problem.

hot damn! that specialized transition chick must be really miffed!

Well, bring it up and we’ll find out. Okay? Let’s find out if all that ad revenue went to good use.

Most of those threads are unavailable now. Which is also a common theme. Threads that will get banned.

Not to put a damper on things…but you would also need to worry about
Bandwidth Routers
And a few other odds and ends. Plus. the Hottie thread as well as many others had MANY redirects to other servers out there. I bet half of them imgages are dead links these days.

Or you don’t spam as effectively as you used to, and people just ignore it more.

LOL. Spam indeed. You might note that everyone of those “most replied” PC threads were started by someone other than me. The most replied was started by no other than Dr. Coggan. Thanks Dr. Coggan.

Here we go again !!

LOL !!!
