Yes it is
They also worship other argentinian products like Rebelde Way and other stuff from TELEFE I think (an argentinian TV station)

I´ve no idea what´s "Dora the Explorer" but this... thing, is older than Harry Potter, 1995-2001.
It was about an orphan house with magic and stuff like that.

* Unspeakable Horror searchs info about Dora the Explorer...
Maybe you are rigth with that combination

The Israeli obsession with Cris Morena's products, I repeat, is disturbing. Perhaps they use it to persuade kids to join the army and kill Palestinians, where they'll never have to see Chiquititas and Rebelde Way ever again!

Some of those forums are mind-bogglingly immense. Take Gaia Online for instance.

It has 730 million posts. The largest single subforum has 16 million posts, and 400 000 of those are in a thread that's only three months old. The top posters have 50 000 posts, and there are roughly 660 000 members. The whole joint is only over a year old, the top poster with 52 000 hasn't even been there for a year. These people are spam machines compared to our own Deities.

Really puts things into perspective, Apolyton is the largest forum I frequent.

The 52000 posts by a single member isn't that ridiculous.

At Eventis I'm doing 50 a day, (probably closer to 80 or so if we compensate for downtime.)

He's only doing twice that.


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

400,000 posts. And I hate catching up on off-topic threads at Poly which have 100 posts .

BTW, that subforum with 16 million posts....

Just imagine how huge it is. That means, if it's been around for less than a year, that there are nearly 2 million posts a month. Roughly 600,000 posts a day.


Now, imagine this. There's a forum at the #2 site that is more than twice as big.

That list makes me feel like far less of a dork. There is truly nothing more pathetic than a mammoth hebrew forum devoted to poor quality argentine television; or an anime roleplaying forum where more than half a million people talk about how they'd like to tentacle-rape sailor-suited schoolgirls. Compared to those guys we're the supercool studmuffins of the internet.

400k post in one thread is indeed ridiculous. The ACW threads linked in my sig, which belong to the hugest at CFC, together have about a percent of that.

Those forums near the top must be more akin to IRC than to a bulletin board. X-posts must be the rule rather than the exception.
I'm betting they don't have damned flood control either.
