It’s sometimes interesting to do a board search on your older threads. Most have a moderate number of views in sync with being mainly in the SDMB universe, but occasionally, seemingly at random, even on threads with a moderate number of participants you will have some with crazy huge monster views. I imagine it’s because others outside the SDMB are googling the same question.

It’s fascinating to see what people are really interested in.
