We're right at the center of the internet universe, of course!

Granted, this place is...ok, that is, when you learn not to take certain elements so seriously, but as a message board, we ain't all 'at. The biggest vBulletin-powered board right now in terms of membership is OffTopic.com with more than 550,000 members. The last time I was there ('bout 2 years ago), there were around 200 new posts per day.

The hardware required at OffTopic to handle a member base that big is:
  • 5 Web Servers each with Dual Xeon 3.0 Ghz Processors, 2GB Ram, Ultra 320 15k SCSI Drive. Gallery/Uploads Server with Single Xeon 2.8, 2GB Ram, Ultra 320 15k Raid Array. Database Server with Dual Xeon 3.0 1MB, 4GB Ram, Ultra 320 15k Raid Array.

How do they pay for all this? Paid Subscriptions. Up to $125 for a lifetime subscription.

those numbers don't add up.

half a million members but only 200 posts per day? There should be around a million posts per day.

There must only be about a hundred active members if they get 200 posts a day.

I took a wild guess, ok?! All I know..it was a lot. You want correct numbers? Ask Fazle.
