I've noticed from testing, that the views feature on the forum also not only counts for you, it counts multiple times. If you remain on your thread and F5-refresh repeatedly, you can driver your thread's views WAY up, which would look strange upon viewing next to no replies. Theoretical scenario below with 9,389 views, yet no replies and the thread not even rated. Made using the Inspect Element tool, which is non-permanent, but it's enough to showcase what could happen.
Also, real example (applies only at the time of writing): Those 14 views on my other recent thread in the suggestions forum? All mine, from just checking in, noticing the number increase and refreshing a few times to test my theory.
