I don't know if this add-on was already provided in the thread or not, my apologies if it did:

This code keeps updating the original thread's view count even if your archive thread is visited:

Edit "showthread" (hack file! not showthread.php!), find:

PHP Code:

eval( 'dooutput( "' . gettemplate( 'archive' ) . '" );' ); 


Before that add:

PHP Code:

if ($noshutdownfunc) {
  $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$thread[threadid]'");
} else {
  $shutdownqueries[]="UPDATE LOW_PRIORITY thread SET views=views+1 WHERE threadid='$thread[threadid]'";
} 


Enjoy..
