I think there may be a misconception here about the meaning of the view statistics. Generally for server based statistics on a web page, the view count reflects the number of times the server has been asked to produce a page. This thread has over ten pages. If each of the approx. 420 members were to just read this thread once, that would result in over 5000 views. You can check this by opening any thread and paging through it. Assuming no-one else is on the thread when you do this, when you go back to the topic page that lists the threads the view count will be incremented by the number of pages that you opened. (If you used the back button to go to that view page, you may need to use the refresh button to see the count be incremented)
I think it is misinterpreting the stats to consider those 3000 served up pages to reflect 3000 individual viewers.
