Edit the threadbit template, find:

<li>{vb:rawphrase views}: {vb:raw thread.views}</li>

Replace with:

<li><vb:if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1, 8, 9, 10)">{vb:rawphrase views}: {vb:raw thread.views}<vb:else />&nbsp;</vb:if></li>

Change 1, 8, 9, 10 to a comma-seperated list of the usergroupids you want to hide views from.

Honestly, in my opinion, I see no point in it.

I am in big problem with this view count enable. Because my competitors keep eye on each threads, they are doing spoon feeding, threads of my forum which are getting more views that can be easily tracked and become very easy to pick those threads and put into competitors forum. I am in very tension and loss of revenue generation. Please help me. please please.

You need to modify that template and insert a if-condition for the specific usergroup.
