Are you guys seen as bigger than a normal hobby site? OR are there lots of other "Apolyton size" sites out there? Maybe AOE Heaven? They are bigger than us, right?

well, i've found a comparison
right now, we have 295 people on the forums. pc.ign has 979

Then again, the 979 there right now out of the 600,780 total registered members is 0.16% of their members, while at apolyton,
279 out of 19,000 is 1.5% of the total members at apolyton. They really lost most of their members when their boards went pay-only.

Pay only bulletin boards are a turn off.

How can they manage 1000 posters simultaneously in a pay=-only environment?
It must be chaos?
Or a really good forum?
How do they do it?
1000- posters... almost too many.
200 registered simultaneous and 100 guests is hard to deal with with our servers! :bugeyes:

Doesn't the inactive user info take up space on the database ?
|
not really. the user tables are currently 26mb.
meanwhile, we have over 800mb of attachements on the forums
|
Are you sure no users got deleted at any point in Apolyton's history? I had to register when I came here to talk abou..ehm, listening to people talking about civ3 in the end of 2001, but I'm sure I've been here before (say a year earlier) when I played Civ2, and though I don't post much, I'm pretty sure I had an account with the same name as now. (to answer polls if nothing else )
Oh, yeah, I was here when CtPII was new too, didn't stay long though, it kept crashing om my computer, haven't played it since...
