In the stats page, there is a number of pageviews. This is the total number of pageviews, over all threads.

If you want to know what issues are or were "hot", the number of pageviews per thread would give a clear indication.

Is it possible to have a stats page similar to the user stats, but then based on threadviews?

What about the table 'Top Viewed' which shows you the top-2o of most viewed threads?
