-   -   Wow, we are ranked 719 for the internets biggest forum!!! (http://www.ironworksforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92902)

Well at least we were.... I have no idea what we are at now, this site says we were ranked 719, but that was back when there was 13741 members and a total of 860200 posts....
So what do you guys think we are at now???
Not that it really matters, I would hate to have over a million users here, as it would just clogg the place up and would be impossible to keep up wiht everything [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Vaskez 02-06-2005 12:39 PM

Well I doubt there are more than 200 regular posters here anyway.

Aragorn1 02-06-2005 02:29 PM

Yeah, active posters are a different thing. There must have been a period when i didn't post for 2 years, but i still would have counted in the statistic.

johnny 02-06-2005 03:57 PM

So what's the biggest forum ? I couldn't find anything about it inthere.

Gnarf 02-06-2005 04:14 PM

Gaia Online, it says here.

Harkoliar 02-06-2005 05:25 PM

well can someone drop them an email? :D . you will never know we might have moved up the ranks [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Kakero 02-06-2005 05:45 PM

719 out of what? that don't seem too bad.

Sir Goulum 02-06-2005 05:55 PM

719 out of 1059 or something. Not bad at all!

Sir Degrader 02-06-2005 06:09 PM

Bah we need a recruiting drive. "A forum of one" sounds pretty good, no?

DrowArchmage 02-06-2005 07:34 PM

Actually, there's two of em. I knew about Fok.nl but never really gave it much attention. I also didn't know it was that big. Gathering of tweakers sounds like shady business to me, but it's also a pretty big community.

The only Dutch forum where i'm registered is FTD, which is, with somewhat 100.000 members, also pretty big.

Don't make comments like this, as you have no idea of the statistics---I do! [img]smile.gif[/img] And we have WAY more like 1300+ members very active weekly. Which is awesome!

I wonder could we have a Ironworks weekend where all the old members where contacted to come online and post again and to catch up. How many could the server handle Ziroc?

Ziroc 02-07-2005 07:33 AM

Forum software could handle thousands at once, server, about 1000 at on time BUT, bandwidth would prevent that, as that is what would crap out fast. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hivetyrant 02-07-2005 07:36 AM

Wow, I thought there would be alot, but wow!!!
I think Vaskez just meant the people that come on and post in most threads everynight...Or something like that...Im just clutching at straws [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Larry_OHF 02-07-2005 08:45 AM

<font color=steelblue>I'll send Vaskez another PM.</font>

Cloudbringer 02-07-2005 09:09 AM

Cool! I can see why, though, I don't go to many boards but none of them is quite as big as we are here. The closest is about half as large.


Larry...LOLOL! :D

Don't forget, there's plenty of people with lives who only visit one or two of the gaming forums. I've probably seen over 200 in the last month just on the IWD/HoW and IWD2 forums, and they both used to be pretty slow.

<font color = #FFFDDA > Lets not forget the 'guests' that log on. so many of them will be members people pop in to read or quickly drop a post then vanish. take right now for example 43 logged in and 40 guests :eek: </font>

Dundee Slaytern 02-09-2005 12:56 PM

Take the results with a pinch of salt. It relies on Alexa users to rank the forums.

Aragorn1 02-09-2005 01:21 PM

Yeah, i tend just to come when i want to look at the game forums, and then looking into general conversation etc.
