For some reason, it just reverted back.

The link shared by Naser had above 0.1M views too but all of sudden those are reverted back.

Seems a potential bug, with no idea of to reproduce unless you guys check forum logs of what happened. Maybe someone tried DDOS or something.

I will ask the high admins to take a look at it. Next time, if it happens again, make sure to take a picture

The web requests were from bots. I've taken actions to prevent/lessen the chance of these bot 'attacks' in the future including making the forum only visible to logged in users, and putting an anti-bot check on the entire domain. I reset the views of clearly-affected topics to 100. View count doesn't really matter, and there was no quick and easy way for me to find out the true view figures.
