Changing from a true one-view-per-view to a more esoteric one-view-per-view-except-time-constricted-edits-or-some-other-circumstance would not only be potentially confusing, it would also be a major pain in the pass to code.
I think the benefits don't really outweigh the enormous undertaking to get this working correctly. What other forums have you seen this behavior implemented? Were they running vB3? If you can find a vB mod that does this, I'll be happy to look it over and see if it's worth the trouble. Something to keep in mind, of course, is that it may break (maybe badly depending on how it's coded) when we update our software.
Besides, I don't think people are bothered by slightly inflated view counts. If anything, the view number is just a general indication of a thread's popularity. I can't even remember the last time someone commented about a thread having some view and no replies.
