Topic Name ( 3 Viewing )
That would be really neat, i hope it gets throught!

Now THAT is an unneeded feature and it increases DB load on big forums like hell

But when ur the admin and you wanna see how's your forum health, and what categories are most viewed, you could do some marketing optimization on the most viewed categories and make the ROI higher!

Assuming you just need it for what you're talking about, why not simply use something to parse Apache's log files? Being able to see the number of people viewing a topic is pretty useless if you can't do things like see how that changes over time or being able to be consistant with the times you check it at.

And not everyone wants a feature like this. PunBB is meant to be lightweight.
Number of people viewing a topic is a vanity feature. I don't think it adds to your forum at all and it impacts performance. In other words, probably not going to become a feature
