I don't like how a view counts every time the same user visits a project. The old system was much better because it showed how many different Scratchers viewed it. It needs brought back.

The old system counted one view per IP address every day. I think it should track who is logged in as viewing it, but my way is sort of inbetween.

How I think it should work:
1 view is counted per IP address per user per 30/15(thereabouts) minutes. This includes guests(not signed in) and shows different Scratchers seeing it, as well as doesn't allow you to just refresh the page a million times to get a ton of views, but it also shows if a person has visited a project twice on separate occasions. I also think the view counter should not change at all if a project is Unshared.

Anybody else like this?

Sorry, but I don't support. With this new system, I believe that people have now stopped being so obsessed with views.

I don't support it directly either. But I will say that the reason they're not obsessed is because views are now next to meaningless. The counting system I described above makes them mean more, but prevents just counting it because you refreshed the page. View obsession might still be a problem, but it's more accurate and therefore gives it a real reason to be there. We might as well not count views if they show someone refreshing the page a million times.
