      I can tell you that most of those threads have now since dwindled in terms of views. The majority of those views peaked at the time the game was released (A few weeks (or months in Eliminates case), before, and after.)

      I'm not sure if you would count this, but if you add all the old iPhone background threads (multiple threads of the same topic), im sure it would be in the high thousands.

      Good spotting. I sorted the column by replies, but because the "What Should I get?" thread is a "sticky" thread, it appeared at the top, whereas it should be second.

      Fixed now.
