well my forums is just over a year old now, and it now has about 50 000 members (pruned a whole heap recently) and we have over 300 000 posts. we get about 1000-2000 posts a day so in about 100-200 days i should be officially a big board, however im already running into lots of problems because having a database of about 2 gigs, and having over 2000 members visit your site everyday and heaps of guests does make running the site a big job.
I think as long as licensed members can only view this it should be fine. of course being accepted into a private area does make you feel special, it wouldn't be fair to the other members.
