Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
Are we losing the 'number of views' function from the forums permanently?
Views?

I like the look. But I also like to know if folks are actually interested in what I'm posting! (Although I guess a view is no guarantee of that...)

I concur that view count is a useful feature. I've participated in many a thread with only three or four other participants, but said threads had views in the hundreds or low thousands, so, clearly, others were interested in/benefiting from the discussion. Seeing the thread count may draw others who otherwise wouldn't think to check in on a relatively low post count thread.

So, moving forward, will 'number of views' be permanently removed?

On the pages that list threads, they show how many replies each thread has. It used to show that as well as how often the thread had been viewed.
The feeling I (and, I believe, many others) have is that not everyone who reads a thread posts everytime they read it, so the view count tells at least as much about the popularity of a thread as the reply count.
