> I think I have lied to you about the “0 Views” situation. Somebody pointed out (may have been in that old thread) that the OP is charged with a View by posting the thread, so “0 Replies” is possible but “0 Views” may not be. I did go on a search for an instance, but have had no luck so far.
> 
> On the pages where you see lists of threads (either the “home page” for the specific forum or on the “New Posts” page) you can go to the bottom of the list and adjust how the list is produced. Using “from the beginning” and “number of Views” and “ascending order” you can cause all the threads (including those that have been Moved elsewhere and which have “-” in place of numbers for Replies and Views) in that forum to be arranged by Views count, lowest numbers first.
> 
> Except for brand new threads started in the last day or two where there are some “1” Views cases, the smallest number I have seen for threads that have been around a while was in the 40’s.

Correction: The “New Posts” page does NOT have those options available for modifying the criteria. It’s for “NEW” posts. :smack:

I didn’t search every forum, but these are the lowest Views counts for threads that aren’t brand new. You might be tempted to go view one or more just to bump its count!

==========================

The bottom line of five in each instance is “Replies Views”

Looking back through my old threads just now, I saw this one that may be fun to look at as part of this topic:

> **[Cafe Society Topics Nobody Wants to Talk About](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=510910)**
>
> My objective for this thread had been to provide a list of all the CS threads from the past year that had gotten 0 Replies. But there are too many! It won’t cost you a 5-minute search to replicate what I did, and I think you’ll find the exercise...

**Describe the color of your toenail clippings!**  
**Can you guess the exact contents of my wallet?**  
**Tell me about your boogers**  
**[del]Does this look infected to you?**[/del] (Previous experience tells me that we’d flock to this thread in droves.)

I’d best stop. We need a weeping with mirth smiley. We really do.
