    What's the biggest forum (with most posts and users) you have ever owned?

    Since I've just owned two forums and the old one died because it wasn't active I have to say Post Bomb is my biggest forum. What about you?

    A forum I started in 2000 - currently has around 45,000 members and 2.75 million posts.

    I currently have one other forum, about a month old and much much smaller (obviously), and plan to launch 2 more in the next month or so.

    I'm hoping we'll get it over the 1 million post mark early next year.

    But it's quite good for what is a very niche forum

    Don't own a site, so the biggest one I'm on as a staff is The Hazey, which has over 80 posts in just 8 months.
