    That, or they have insane numbers of subfora.
    Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

      The Off Topic Board has an average posts per member ratio of 853! For comparison, ours is 54. I would like to work out theirs comparing only people who have made a post, but their site is down for upgrading.

        Yeah, that makes sense, if indeed such forums exist.

          I meant "board" rather than forum, which is relevant considering the board at the top of that list is really a collection of 500 odd forums melded together with dark magic.

            I wasn't suggesting you are wrong btw, just saying I hadn't seen such a IRCish forum.

            If the board is many forums spliced together it explains the total posts, but still the 52K is amazing.

              We should merge all the Civ forums!

                Eventis at the start was like a multi-room IRC. Insanely fun, provided someone else was online and replying as well. Looking at the board though, I think it achieves its massive number of posts through the sheer weight of forum numbers it carries.

                  /me is astounded

                  And to think I was amazed when some NZ teenagers managed to send 20,000 text messages per month! What kind of life would you lead with that much time mucking around on the Net....

                    Check the numbers again, it has 73 million posts.

                    So only 25 times as many as Apolyton.

                    On a spammy note, what about the pruning that Markos and Dan have done every once in a while? We'd have half again more posts if not for that.

                        However, the thread with 400,000 posts is ****ing insane.

                                With the ACDG starting up, we can improve our rate quite a bit.
                                And help make the site a better place! Wow!
