What are some of the biggest/most active forums you have ever come across? (Doesn't have to be UBB.) Would be interesting to see what is the "biggest" board out there. This site ranks boards, but there are obviously many that are not in their ring. http://rankings.big-boards.comHere are two of the bigger ones I've ever been on: http://www.thehighroad.orgThreads: 285,130 Posts: 3,735,017 Members: 53,936 Active Members: 10,610 http://forums.ilounge.com/Threads: 187,195 Posts: 1,134,534 Members: 119,194 Most users ever online was 1,423, 02-11-2006 at 07:53 PM

The top site from rankings.big-boards.com has a pretty cool feature called "Forum Pulse" that automatically updates whenever there are new posts (look at the top) http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/sports/f.62/That is just the sports forum. There are different "pulse" areas for each forum. That board gets an insane amount of traffic.

Well according to wikipedia this site is the biggest on the Internet with over 600 boards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2channelActually as I recall one of the Ians' posted about the 4ch which is /was spin off or part of them. Though if they're only at 600 boards still then IGN would appear to beat them in that size. I'm a member of IGN but rarely used their boards.

Sorry to point it out Gimo but it appears that IGN forums are running on Windows IIS

Yeah, considering they have 916139 Registered Users, I'd say that's pretty big  I do think they need to upgrade though.

Well IGN with 4,066 boards and 167 Million messages has got to be a joy to manage for Network Admins.

As for the biggest boards I've ever seen... I don't frequent any that I think would be a contender for biggest.
