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.
