I can see why you might not want to be seen viewing, but a number as opposed to actual usernames. So, 'This page is being viewed by... 80 members and 50 guests' type of thing.

Someone logs in, views the main board, then buggers off elsewhere, how long after they visited /board do you consider them still to be 'viewing' it?
