Re: How Big is Too Big?
Big forums have their pros and cons, just like small forums. I am a member of one huge forum, which is part of an enormous online game, which is hosted on the Jolt.uk site. Its current stats are...
189,718 threads just for our game's section. 406,339 alltogether for Jolt.
6,123,497 posts just for our game's section. 10,255,597 alltogether for Jolt.
1,309,555 members. Probably two thirds of whom belong to our game.
As you can see, while we don't dominate the threads, we do dominate posts. Threads can grow very large, very quickly.
The vast majority of our game members don't post outside our section, and the general area can get quite hectic during peak posting periods. Threads do disappear quickly, but it is also great to post one, and have responses almost instantly. A new thread can go from one post to 100 within an hour or less. The rest of the forum isn't quite that busy and things are easier to keep up with.
