Dev,

Would it include Private forums in its stats? Post counts etc? Or would that be impossible given the "Private" status?

Hagar

What other stat pages are available?

pickarooney

boards.ie is less popular among Irish users than onet.pl but is more popular worldwide?

oh wait, it's not a forum, is it? d'oh

still, it outranks the Irish Times

Karoma

and Nasza-klasa.pl. I said it before and I'll say it again, it's time for Boards.pl

This is solid proof that there are more Polish people in Ireland than Irish people.

would it be that they are not forums in the traditional bullitein board sense?

Dudess

Jesus, do I post that much...?! I actually posted next to nothing between September 2006 and January 2007, plus, even though I joined in July 2005 I didn't start posting regularly til around February 2006. So thankfully my average amount of posts per day looks far less geeky :cool:

Zaph

That list of most active forums looks wrong to me. BGRH isn't on it, however the bar thread there has about 250-300 posts a day on it during the week. Even though it's quieter at the weekend, you could count on 1,500 posts a week on that thread alone, which would put it ahead of Poker on the most active forums list. If that's missing, what else is, and how much further up the list would Boards be if they were all taken into account?

Hagar

Humour with over 101,000 posts is missing.
Personal Issues has 202,000 not 79,000.
Cuckoo's Nest has 187,000 not 43,000.

There's something seriously amiss with those stats. Not reliable at all at all.

faceman

Notice that they have referenced one of the forums (Galway) as Flo Fahy??

orestes

Just curious, where do you look to see the stats for boards? Most active forums and posters and that kinda stuff?

Ruu_Old

There is some of that info in the original link (first post in this thread) with a few stats on most active forums and users.

The info on Big-boards.com is a wee bit outdated I think.

Boards.ie is an Irish Community board dedicated to talking, chatting and generally having fun. Full of people from all walks of life and from a multitude of different lifestyles, Boards.ie has a forum on almost everything imaginable to compliment its member base. The users are friendly and the moderators fair, making boards.ie a natural meeting point for all Irish people.

Creation date: February 1998
Hardware: Load balanced pair of webservers - Dual Xeon - 3 GB RAM - SCSI drives, RAID 5 Database server - Dual Xeon - 3 GB RAM - SCSI drives, RAID 5
Software: FreeBSD, Apache + mod_php, MySQL and Vbulletin 3.5
Number of moderators: 296

And AH is missing 500,000 posts. I imagine it's posts in the last year or something.

Ah, I must have skipped over the link when first reading the thread, my bad! Thanks Ruu!

Gotta agree with Zaph, it seems that BGRH should be up there somewhere, strange
