Simple Question, how many members are joined up on your forums?

I'll post mine later, UBB is down.

Right now, 60 members. We've only been live for about 4 months. Traffic is starting to pick up as of lately.

We have 7800+ members. 30-40k pageviews per day, and maybe 400 regulars per day. I define regulars as spending mucho time (1 hr +) on the boards and reading nearly every post in the forums of interest to them.

Percentage wise, thats pretty bad.

176 days this board was up with 391 registered members. It's growing steadily. Considering it's a clan board I guess that's a good number eh? smile

My god, thats nearly 5 times the amount of UBBDev.
Is there a limit to how many members you can have on a UBB?

The limit is based on the server and how many concurrent users the community averages. Better servers could probably handle 60K plus members. The average server out there is probably limited to 20-25K.

my personal board is nearing 400 or so

a board im the admin on (dc comics) has around 35,000 (tho was recently trimmed to about half that, removing members who had registered at least 2 months ago, but never posted, in an effort to clean things up a bit).

Hostboard's hardware should anyone be interested in what it is taking to support this thing...

Compaq DL380 w/twin 1ghz cpu's and 1gig RAM
OS runs on first disk array comprised of 4 9.1gig SCSI3 10k rpm drives arranged in a RAID5 configuration with an online hot spare and redundent power supply.

Then a Compaq 5302 controller with 64mb cache connects to a Compaq U2 sub-chasis with 7 (has a capacity for 12) 18.2gig SCSI3 10k rpm again RAID5 with an online hot spare and redundent power supply. This is where UBB sits.

This all links via a Compaq fiber gigabyte nic.

Compaq Remote Lights Out for those rare cases of needing remote access.

All connected to a APC 1400rm2u UPS.

Running RedHat 7.2 Profesional.

Easy we do what no other UBB does. Compare us to a small EZBoard would be the best example where users create their own board and modify it all on the fly.

There is also ALOT more to come smile

I guess you have alot more stamina do do better things with your board with all your traffic. It's always tough to start out. We all did at some point.

I have right around 72,800 members right now, there was 36,000 in the beginning of october/2001, so basically I've doubled my member base in 7 months.

I also purged all member accounts with 0-1 post last year and it deleted over 5000 members.

Close to 4000 members, with a few hundred active members (that are visiting every day). Now if I could just get "active" to mean posting every day.
