I first off, I think it would help you if used correct grammar.
Anyways, I was sort of thinking of this suggestion the other day, but I figured it would be pointless.
But, it would be a cool little feature, to see your top watchers or how many profile visits you get.

Hell yeah.

It'd probably just end up being something similar to followers.

Views on profiles is rather pointless and would take up space that could be used for other things. And people could just hold f5 on their profile page so they get more views.

Not a good idea, it's rather pointless and would be ignored.

If this feature is implemented (I highly doubt it), I think that the moderator's profiles will have the most views.

Please don't say one thing then completely change your idea when others do. It's annoying.

Or they could just turn on an autoclicker when they go to bed. Or both. Either way, it doesn't seem worth implementing considering how many ways there are to abuse it.

The game creators who work for AG (or have games that happen to get millions of plays) will get the most profile views. I'm guessing more people click on the game designers' profiles from game pages than click on the about section and click on the moderators.

This idea does seem pointless. It's just an unnecessary thing to track.

I agree. The only things that should be kept track of is; forum posts, comments, game ratings, merits, reputation/karma points, and Armor Points. That's all that's necessary and relevant to keep track of.

Yeah, I'm not really a fan of the idea, either, but if enough users ask for it, we'll see about implementing it.

I believe the cookies already recognize when the host accepted a view from you, so once would have been enough, until some amount of time passes. That is how it works right now in the community, am I right? I am pretty sure you can't just refresh the page and let it accumulate views, because I honestly have done so with my own threads. However, it doesn't work. Whether it has something to do with the fact that I was the OP or not, cookies recognize when you've viewed a thread. The same could work with viewing profiles, if the developers ever decide to add it.

I think it will be a great miscellaneous idea.

Yeah, Frank, we'd have some sort of spam protection enabled based on your session. We'd probably tack, at most, one visit per 6 hours or something.
