We are at 91 now, and 87th spot is taken by Whirlpool forums. My friend will be happy with that. There are 58,310 posts difference between the sites.

I wonder, do the posts that the mods make on the OTF count for the total site-count?

Besides that, it must be fairly easy for a site-admin tot manually increase their post-ammount.... CHEATING

You honestly know... it doesn't matter. Apolyton and many of the sites on the list have done and still do post count prunings, deleting and/or archiving thousands that are no longer relavant and are just cluttering the server and slowing it down.

less stored posts means faster loading times and higher post counts possibly

therefore, the goal to shoot for should not be # of posts because it means little, but # of members since most sites don't prune the # of DL's and dead logins

Once again, the total for Gaia Online was then merely 73 million.

Not that it matters… they've gone up by 7 million since then, more than double Apolyton's 5 year total count.
