Not even the most sophisticated server according to todays standards. The server is now around 1.5 years old: 2xOpteron246/4G/4x36gigRaid10/240Gb (for backup)

As i can still run it on a single machine, i consider it to be just a medium sized board.
We at 3D Realms got swamped when we released the DNF Teaser Trailer in December. We shattered our record for concurrent users then, at the peak, we had 3,145 on at the same time.

The server was hurting - but it didn't break. We have over half a million posts, and I think something like 12,000 users (although probably about 4 of those are "active").

Our forums are on their own box - we segregated out the www.3drealms.com part of our online presence to another box earlier in 2007.

I always considered our board somewhat large, but not "uber" large.

Personally, I consider the board size based on the number of servers used in the web cluster. IMO, a board who uses 2 servers (one web and one db) is an average sized board, not big. Once you start managing a vBulletin board that runs exclusively on 6 servers or more, yes... you can say you have something going on.

i am running a board with 2300 users at peaks and still on a single server but I believe we're reaching the limit any time soon...

Well, it's a pity, our board which is just a wee bit from entering top 100 at big-boards and will hit 9mln posts in a few days is a medium board then :) Seriously, if you don't count the slave backup/search server and the ad server, we still run on 2 servers, one web and one db. It's a different challenge, but challenge nevertheless.

We are 33 at Big-boards and running on 3 servers. I could shut down one of the web servers and it would run fine, I'm thinking about retasking it. The DB server is hooked up to a piece of an EMC SAN unit though...

Slightly OT - the Big-boards admin is MIA, isn't he? As far as I know, new sites haven't been added to that index in a long time, so those rankings aren't accurate. My site's at just under a million posts now, and I've been in the "queue" on there for months with no response.

alexi: One can count EMC SAN as another server :)

Chris: no he's not, have you seen the "fast forum review" section here: http://www.big-boards.com/submit/ ?

My database server was disk bound, it had 4 15k SAS drives in a RAID 10. I was going to install 2 drives mirrored for the operating system and then 6 drives in a Raid 10.
My host offered a 128 Gig segment on their SAN for about the same monthly payment.

alexi, out of curiosity, what's your post table size?
