Threads with the highest viewings?

[Jerry O'Neill]

The "Film" thread returning to the top of the list got me thinking and wondering a bit.

What threads over the last few years or since the beginning of WIX, were the ones that had the most viewings? Anyway to put them in ranking order?

Some stick around for a while, and others keep returning, adding to their "score". Many that seem to have high numbers are interesting and thought provoking, while some of the others contain a lot of short quips back and forth.

I guess it would be interesting to see if there is commonality between the "Top Threads". What made a particular topic that interesting?

I don't want to stir up trouble or raise possibly ugly past issues, but it was just a thought.

Dennis;
Nice Job!
Were you able to do a "search" for all those or did you physically go back through the archieves?

One close to my heart on the WIX Gathering Topic:

Corsair Gathering in Bridgeport, CT - with 11,251 viewings

Thanks.

I made an assumption that the highest viewed threads would be within the last year or so due to the steadily increased membership and then did a fast cruise through the latest 50 pages. I only scanned the WIX Hangar though and didn't think to look in the WIX Gathering. I'll have to go look at the Corsair Gathering thread!

I agree!
It would be interesting to see what topics were "discussed" the most.

I just edited the most viewed list to include all of 2005 and 2006.

Here's the top ten of most discussed/most replies during 2005 and 2006 in WIX Hangar:


Anyone else having trouble with the FlyPast Forum (2/1/05) - 339 replies
Swamp Ghost has been sold - 264 replies
Favorite Aviation Scene from a film - 145 replies
One stop line...Thunder Over Michigan (8/21/06) - 125 replies
Emergency AD, T-6 Attach Angles - 124 replies
FlyPast site off line AGAIN - 108 replies
Ideas for a New WWII movie - 108 replies
Lets put a face to a name - 106 replies
Whats Your Best Piece Off a Warbird - 105 replies
Dates for Thunder 2006 - 101 replies
Unknown Warbirds in the US - 100 replies

So, the results of this unscientific study show that we most like to talk about the status of the FlyPast Forum, aviation movies, Swamp Ghost and Thunder over Michigan.

I think we have a relatively new thread that is quickly joining the ranks of the long threads mentioned here.

I'm sure you can guess as to which one: "Gary~What's the Plan for Diamond Lil"

It has to have been one of the fastest growing threads as well.

It was started on October 27th, and as of November 5th it has 112 REPLIES and 7034 VIEWS!!!
