What exactly is a big board?

Is there a specific definition that vbulletin.org uses for what exactly a big board is? Big-Boards.com says 500,000+ posts but I'm not sure if that is the standard definition.

We have about 5K members and 1.5mil posts and I don't really feel like we're a "big board", more medium sized when I compare our site to others that have 1,000+ concurrent users and 9MIL+ posts

Hm, that quip wasn't there when I initially submitted my site. Good for him I guess for capitalizing on his laziness.

You can consider it a big board if you stay up half-to-all night dealing with issues, get 100's of emails a day asking for name changes, email changes, complaints about this, that, etc.. Basically, when your life revolves around your forum/s.. lol aka Big-PITA.. You are there..

We forbid name changes unless it's a safety issue! Too much to handle

We do as well, but considering what my forum deals with, they end up having justifiable excuses more often than not.. Of course, we keep a log of these changes so staff can keep up, especially if there have ever been any problems with the member.
