I guess you don't understand the ramifications of the 46058 views counted?
At 2:07 pm today, that topic had been "viewed" 15281 times, and by 7:33pm today it had been "viewed" 46033 times. Do you think it's the host's problem that in 5.5 hours the one topic had been successfully "viewed" 30752 times, or 93 times per minute? Note it didn't count the unsuccessful "views", which could easily have been 10 times that figure. At 93 hits per second, it's unlikely the "viewer" will complete the page fetch to the point of getting the "view" counter incremented, but the site will still be sustaining (or not) an abnormal load. Caveats implied as needed.
I agree these aren't huge numbers, but we don't have all the numbers, and obviously the site doesn't have effective anti-dos code running. Maybe once the host begins tacking on financial surcharges for the bandwidth?
