Can only make 19,474 forums
 

So it looks like i can only make 19,474 forum before the poop hits the fan.

When i get to this point the table row will be created, the it never shows in the forum manager or on the site

The _forum table with this many forums is about 4.5mib

I am on a dedicated server with 2 gb rams

Any suggestions on what is causing this?

you do realize that all of those forums, their permissions and access masks are read and session stored on each page load, right? you're asking for one slow site =\

I would strongly, strongly, STRONGLY suggest you not have that many forums. Can you imagine going to a site with that many forums and trying to figure out where to post?!?! Honestly, that is just really not a good idea. Did I strongly recommend against this yet?

You should really look into thread prefixes. Most likely you can do what you want by using them.

Have to ask, why would you want so many forums? And are you hoping that users will be able to find their way round and post in the correct forum every time?!

I'm curious what this ~20k forum site look like. :eek:

I am, too. Please give us a link.

whatever the number of created forums , What would be the solution for such problem ? any ideas ?
I'm just need to know in case I needed some thing like that ,
Sorry for interruption .

In case you needed 20,000 forums??

What are your PHP Memory Limit and MySQL Packet Size settings?

You don't think vbulletin can scale to that size?

The site is an internal site for a large corporation. I cant go into to much detail, but it will be closed to the public, and each department is assigned, and given a link to a specific forum. Individual forums is the only solution for there needs. They need the features that are available in a VB post/thread, unlike whats available in say wordpress/joomla/wiki/facebook-reddit like script.

I figure vbulletin is the most stable and capable forum to pull it off, at least i hope.

Does vbulletin have limitations on the amount of forums it can do?

The table size, and rows, if you compare that to a large forums _thread / _post tables is actually very small. So im just trying to figure out what is going on here.
