Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

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.

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.

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.
