OK I don't know where else to post this, mine is a new forum but I wanted to post some statistics so someone can let me know if this is good or not.

Does it have the potential to be a big board?

I think it's a little late in the game for Lost boards but they are also like gold when it comes to Wednesday/Thursday traffic. I manage (well, try to) www.losttv-forums.com and it seems every time we make adjustments or upgrades to allow more users online at once, more just seem to come. We have trouble with 1,500 users online at once, make some adjustments that should allow more, and then we get 1,900+. It seems that we get as many users online at once as the server can handle. If we went to dual servers and could get 3000, I think we would get that.

I like to think that we are at the very least in the top 2 or 3 Lost boards and all of them have trouble on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Some block unregistered users on those two busy days so the less known/busy sites seem to take up the overflow. I am not sure of the state of the UK based Lost board scene but it seems like you could do well.

We average about 12 to 15k new posts a day, and somewhere around 25-30k unique visitors.

We are currently migrating over to vB from an old message board system. We do about 1200 posts a day, currently have about 32,000 members.

My Question is for those that have about the same stats and are using vB. How many servers are you running?

Thanks!

Brandon

25-30k unique visitors a day or a month? Either way, that's quite good.
