I was looking at the "Bob Show" topic (currently showing 893 posts).
And at the time you posted it was currently showing 881. So how did that get to be....

But there are over 900 posts...
...OVER nine hundred posts? (Which we then round to a thousand.)
And I know this:
That's 3,000 right there with you and two followers.
may be taken a bit out of context. But I don't want and hopefully don't have any...

Beyond that I'm a Rooney follower...
...FOLLOWERS here - or anywhere else. The core mission of Kite Strings is hang glider pilot competence - which entails an understanding of aeronautical theory. I'm confident that I'm adequately qualified (and, hell, I have the credentials from u$hPa (for what that's worth)) to bring people like Zack up to my speed. And my hope is always that they'll catch any mistakes I've made / stuff I've gotten wrong such that we're all getting better as a TEAM. And that has happened fairly routinely.
And you have crud like:

I was working up some harmony for Rooney Tunes.
And that's what you want.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a Board of Directors for the US Hawks?
Not yet. The HGAA's early problems arose because different people wanted to take the organization in different directions. That created power stuggles which cost the HGAA some of its early leadership. For now, I'm going to take the US Hawks in the direction that I believe is right. If people want to go along, then they're welcome. If not, there are at least two other alternatives.
- My way or the highway.
- And do ya catch this, people of varying ages?
Why do we need another organization?
The need for choice on the national level has been clear for some time. The HGAA, for example, was originally formed to be more of a grass roots organization than USHPA. However, it was quickly overtaken by those who again concentrated power and shunned opposing viewpoints. So the US Hawks was formed to provide yet another alternative.
Just another ALTERNATIVE to the Tim Herr and Jack Axaopoulos Shows. Draw a straw, spin a bottle if ya can't make up your mind.
Kite Strings isn't an ALTERNATIVE to shit. The Big Three - Tim Herr, Jack Straub, Bob Kuczewski - deviate from the party line and you're gone. Don't worry, we'll have some pretense of legitimacy.
Kite Strings presents itself up front as a dictatorship but:
- we don't really have any problems worth mentioning 'cause aeronautical theory isn't subject to opinion.
- virtually all participating, contributing members have actual power close or equal to what the Dictator has. A dictatorship in name only.
But you're both right and wrong about the click counter.
I think I've already said that.

If you start a thread and you're logged in then you can click on it and not drive up the view count. Also, once you are in any thread you can go from page to page without driving up the view count.
The Board tends to remember when an individual has accessed a topic and not tick up on a reclick a short time later.
I have not found that to be true, and am almost certain that is incorrect.
But if you're NOT logged in, every refresh bumps the counter.
I dunno. I think I've found that not always to be the case on other forums.
Try it yourself.
If people wanna experiment please use the topic:

test
currently on the last/oldest page, so as to not inflate legitimate topics.
This is all academic though 'cause of the unregistered bot attack issue - which is huge. With a gun to my head I'd say 33 percent inflation. Really upsets me. But...
I always keep my most recent view of this page:
http://www.kitestrings.org/forum2.html
General
open. So when I wanna check for new activity I open a new one. So when there's a new post in one of the first page / most recently active 25 topics plus "Welcome" I'll be able to see and record the hits the topic had when I last looked and the figure at that next instant.
And if you toggle back and forth between the two pages you can see the few modest increases in topics which are getting viewed. And when you see jumps in ALL topics they're gonna be substantial and you'll know we've been or are being hit by an unregistered bot attack.

If it's a bot you don't recognize - we have 67 of them registered to date - you can harvest the entry and check it in the ACP. If there's no match that's your culprit and you can manually register it and stop it from doing any more inflation damage.
I first figured out what was going on and learned how to deal with it a bit shy of three years ago with SEMrush - which had been tearing the crap outta us at increasingly frequent intervals.
If you're just logged in as a member you'd just see something like:

but that much might be enough to start on to get a fix in place.
Sorry for the geek stuff, hope this answers a question from Steve from way back that I never got back to him on. (Sorry 'bout that.)
Response to be continued.
