Unless the mods can confirm that is individual users? And probably a lot of them are by spider bots.

Page views mean nothing? It's the amount of hits the Coming Soon thread gets that pushes Cable Forum to the top of Google search time and time again when people are searching for news on channels coming soon.
I'm not suggesting that there is over 1 million unique vists to this thread each year. Clearly there will be thousands of repeat visitors. Over 2800 per day based on last years figures. Many of these visitors however will repeat what they see here on Facebook, Twitter, Virgins Community Forum etc... They will also share information from here with family and friends.
Do visits to this thread from non-registered members of the site get counted in the threads view figures? I was visiting this thread for about 2 years before I finally joined.

Imagine if they did. As soon as one rumour was quashed/confirmed, another would pop up, and eventually their entire plans are public.

I've seen people on here posting copies of e-mails they received from the office of Neil Berkett. I must admit I'm impressed how open and honest these e-mails are. People will ask the office of Mr. Berkett straight to the point questions about future channels, channel negotiations and rumours on the internet. They seem to get very straight to the point answers back, especially confirmation of what is true or not so accurate.
It's clear at the top of the tree Virgin are an engaging, open and honest company. I just don't think this trickles down to everyone at every level.
Maybe it's not deliberate. Does a lot of inaccurate rumours, gossip and speculation circle amoungst staff at Virgin? It's plausible people sharing inaccurate information actually believe what they are saying is true due what they hear in the office day in, day out.
