    Thought it might be fun to see how many views the Long Term Illness forum gets. Note that I only looked at threads with views in the 6 figures, and threads that had one or more recent posts occurring in September 2017 (although the thread may have started many months ago).

    Thread | Views
    Anxiety & Depression | 142,145
    Gastric Banding | 116,052
    Psoriasis | 219,752
    Diabetes | 209,173
    MS in all its glory | 184,708
    thyroid misery | 257,782
    Crohn's Disease | 254,816
    Total | 1,384,428

    Wow! That's impressive view counts for LTI, which of course would be much higher if we added in threads having views under 6 figures. View counts help keep boards.ie operating. Congratulations LTI members and mods.

    Would anyone like to crunch numbers (quantitative) and display them here, or would like to do a content analysis (qualitative) are welcome to try. If you do, please ensure that the anonymity of individual members is not compromised.

    There must be loads of lurkers about, do non members views count at all?

    I think more people would post if there was an anonymous feature, think some forum, maybe even this one, had that feature before. Could have been personal issues or something.

    There is actually an option for anonymous/guest posting here rubadub. In about half of cases though, the poster ends up signing up and posting before we can approve their post, usually within about 30 minutes.
