- MikeZila, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2No surprise that Gaia is the biggest, but still cool to see a list. I'll digg, just because I was interested enough to click the link.
- kigol, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Offtopic.com FTW
- jamesey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2genmay has a great posts (spam) to member ratio
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Of course the nerd anime role playing type forums are the biggest, they do nothing but post on there. Quality of content>quantity OT>*
- CaptSnuffy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I knew SA would be up in the top 10
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Kinda amazing that the Howard Stern boards its in the top 10 of members... Beats all others :D
Fanboard's that is... - victory, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i find this site very useful, too as a forum owner. interesting looking at the forum specs.
- zumpiez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh genmay how I love thee
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1yeah, I've known about big-boards for awhile. useful site. digg( );
- Googled, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Big up for offtopic!
- nature, on 10/12/2007, -0/+123. Slashdot.
Where's your messiah now Diggsheep? - juicehead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I cant believe the fags at somethingawful made the list.
i mean they don't even have stairs in their house...like wtf? - BugMeNot2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.big-boards.com/highlight/1268/
- joeljkp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anyone know of a forum (politics, or anything-goes) that lets you rate individual posts?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This list is immediately not credible because it doesnt have gamefaqs which has over 3 million registered users!
It probably has had the most posts too however it purges boards based on their activity so the total is unknown. - SwimTorrent, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey! We're not on there! Don't you like us? Are we... are we not cool anymore? Who do we have to beat up to be cool, cause we'll do it.
www.adultswim.com - Junx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This site is perfect for that LUElinks place (if it existed); they're going to invade all the forums one at a time or something knowing them...
- ndm007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Where the hell is Apple Discussions. There are tens of thousands of members in there??
- HighTechJunkie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This site is old news. And many of the sites listed are pretty lame anyhow. For example, the IGN board might look big, but many of its forums seem to be locked UNLESS YOU SUBSCRIBE TO A MAGAZINE. You can't even view threads, even if you register.
- GlassUser, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1ot ftmfw, nga
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is AWESOME I've been searching for deutsch and francais online communities forever. Thank you very much.
- Apreche, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Doesn't track forums running on Lussumo Vanilla. Boo.
- splufdaddy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0[quote]I bet if Digg were to create some forums, they would be on there.[/quote]
Someone needs to stop drinking the Digg kool-aid. I bet if Digg tried to cure world peace they'd succeed too. - nitr021, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0[old news, no digg]
[strange that the official wow forums arent on there. unless that list was taken a year ago and this is just old news :P]
[lame]
[im surprised that www.oanddanimals.com isnt in the top ten.........]
please check why some boards are not on the list:
http://www.big-boards.com/about/#faq - Hollandboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes Gathering.tweakers.net is the best.
Yeah for www.fok.nl.
Yeah for 3 dutch forums in the top 20. - CanuckMakem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Pretty interesting.
- spect3r, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0www.chatbear.com - probably the worlds best message board software, and known only to few.
The bear rocks! - Jarrod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I had no idea what the Gaia forums where. After reading, the wikipedia article-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_Online, I am scared for humanity. This site revolves around earning Gaia Gold so you can buy cool clothes and accessories for your avatar????? Oh goodness. In the words of Le Tigre, "Get Off The Internet!". - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting, looks like it's farily up to date too.
- averox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Member count is not the best measure and the reason Gaia has a zillion posts is because that's one way you obtain virtual gold to buy virtual junk for your avatar.
Someone even told me that they had three accounts and two were mules to hold their extra junk. But even if you do the math and say that each person has three accounts, a million is still a bunch. - GaryKing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice to see a lot of our visitors also visit digg :)
- nitr021, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0[Well, I've contributed 12,000 posts to IGN myself.]
wow how long did it take you? - Zeerus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've known about Gaia for a while now, through Wikipedia. I roleplay every now and then, but have yet to register for Gaia, I hate stuff that's too complex. and anyway, I can make better avatars in Photoshop, lol
- azzwipe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Where's 2chan ?"
Hmm found this on Wikipedia a while ago, because I was wondering about the exact same thing.
"At stats.2ch.net one can view the number of posts made every day. Currently there are 2.3 million posts made every day. This is two to three times larger than the biggest Internet forum on big-boards.com. (Note: on its front page Big-Boards lists the total posts of all time, not the daily number of posts.)"
And on big-boards they say that they won't include forums, where some info is missing.
2ch: "Huge japanese board, but no post/members counts available."
I'm pretty sure it's the biggest forum on Earth though. Makes me wish I knew Japanese :-( - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"Gaia is by far the gayest/ nerdiest website in the WORLD!"
hahahaha I very much agree.... doesnt even look that much like a forum... but meh.
I would love to see the DiggFans website up there someday... and show the world what the digg community is like.

Check it out. - zenlunatic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This has got to be my favorite digg yet. I never knew about this site. This is going to keep me busy all day.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very cool. never knew about this site. i submitted my message boards because i fit the criteria. 530,048 posts and 5942 members. too bad my buddy who used to run them had some database issues years back because otherwise we'd have several million posts.
- ShaolinTiger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ah mine doesn't make the criteria because we prune posts, 27,000 members so would get to about top 15 sites...but only 132,000 posts.
- Jarrod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_Online
Sorry about the comma. Wish we could edit our posts. - zenlunatic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0elroy thats just wrong!
- nitr021, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0[I guess Im the only one here a fan of GenMay.... I spend too much time on there. Funny this site is just now getting this link as ive used it a lot before.]
link please - Jarrod, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0To see what the Gaia forums look like, try this-
http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11849535
Please tell me these aren't adults that use this site. - Arcadian, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Most users on Gaia speak english. Sadly, most of them don't type it well. It's true that most of them are highschoolers, but there are in fact some mature people on there with a variety of interests and occupations.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0*thinks to self* Hmmm... Maybe this American should give Gaia a try... I wonder how many English speakers are on Gaia...
- mikeruiz7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Something awful made 7 AND they have to pay to register... imagine if it was free (although then it would suck)
- blindarrow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wouldn't even waste my time going to that faggy Offtopic.com. Just go to Something Awful instead.. it's much, much better. :)
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"people are just DYING to post on gamefaqs.com"
Now THAT is tasteless. - bowlcut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I guess Im the only one here a fan of GenMay.... I spend too much time on there. Funny this site is just now getting this link as ive used it a lot before.
- mrblaq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Aight, this is NOT news, this is spam. Get over it. Stop digging BS
- ellectronico, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0someone broke rule #1
