Most popular forum?

Hi all

OcUK is very popular, must be one of the biggest in the UK. I wonder what is the most popular forum in terms of posts (maybe posts per day would be the best way to determine how popular the forum is)

I found this on the vBulletin (people who make the most popular forum software - used by OcUK) site:

OcUK is placed 545! Not bad!

you've got to remember that OcUK do trim out old posts though, and have nuked the forums a few times in the past... so the total post counter here isn't accurate at all.

nice, i see SA is still in the top 10, i used to go there a lot a year or 2 ago
but that kin dof forum moves so fast, normally 1000+ ppl viewing one forum makes threads move too fast sometimes

This forum moves pretty fast

I like it because you will have like 15 replies in a few minutes of posting a topic

Yup.
I got bored of posting there for 2 reasons:
1) The time differances ment i got replys really slowly.
2) Its full of americans who dont like football, so no one to discuss footy with on there. Having said that though, its not much better here.

Gilly · 30 Oct 2006 at 18:15

No but if you leave that percentile will improve

Well that'd be why your posts are incomprehensible. The dons are all here and are dons here because we like this place, it's be pretty stupid to put so much time and effort into somewhere we didn't like
