While that may be impressive, showing page counts would be more accurate.
This page alone produces 42 hits and will increase as more people post to this thread.

Doesn't every graphic (buttons, logos, emoticons, avatars, photo images,symbols, etc.) on a web page produce an additional "hit"?
Yes, but unfortunately - GoDaddy, who host the forum, and ATD, who host the main site, do not track/publish a common set of metrics – except hit counts.

Can we also assume that the report doesn't filter out seach engine crawling of the site? That usually accounts for a significant number of the hits.

There is software available to track this as well.
It can easily be as much as 25%.
It's a two edge sword, you want the search engines to crawl your site but hate the bandwidth they require. Higher rankings on search engines means the more they crawl a site.
