I think there should be a top viewed page. Do you?

Re: Top viewed?

Nah. It would take too long to program, and it would bring fame to already famous projects. I'm going to start a random projects page soon.

Re: Top viewed?

And I suddenly realized: people could just view their projects a ton and get them on the frontage.

Good point. Another reason I'm not going to program this (and LS probably won't either).

I'm adding an unwritten rule to the site: don't artificially inflate view counts just to look more popular. It goes under "be honest".

Re: Top viewed?

Jacob, dilemma coming up:

Allow dishonesty (by keeping the system as we had decided before release for a good reason)
or
Increase database load (by storing users / IPs)
?

If we do it, I think we should do it by users. Also, since we're about to switch to a better host, I think we can afford to increase the database load.

Re: Top viewed?

OK, then we can program it as soon as we make the switch.
I wasn't debating users versus IPs though: I actually meant both.

User ID when the user is logged in or IP when the user isn't.

Oh, that's a good idea. From looking at the database from Scratch, it appears that's what they do.

No. All counts will be set back to zero.

It's a part of life, and I'm presuming the large amount of views were probably a result of cheating somehow. The new system is pretty effective at preventing cheating.

Well, apparently they came from dvd4, which is still cheating, but just not by you. Anyway, the views have been reset. Life goes on.

Does that mean dvd4 was cheating?

I was just seeing if there was a limit to the number of views that I could make.
