Default Whoa.
http://ian.gaiaonline.com/forum/index.php

I came across this on a Sitepoint blog comment. It's powered by phpBB.

But, with 69,398,283 posts, 606,350 registered users, and something like 10,000 online at average, it's probably the largest forum I've ever seen.

Most surprising: how fast it loads. Not bad for an RPG site, and there are no ads anywhere. The author himself actually modified phpBB to make it very query efficient:

That is one of the largest message boards on the 'net (customized to the hilt and a few releases behind, but WAY ahead of the developers). IIRC, they run off of a 10 box server farm.

Amazing, isn't it?

According to http://www.big-boards.com/ OT.com is the largest vB.
