Not really. I had actually considered that. The # 11 ranking would be based on posts alone.

still a pretty good result (32) seeing how many sites there are in the world , to get so many hits/visits/posters here is outstanding. I can recall when people thought the 10,000 post number toi get to deity level was impossible, now we have a few, so given enough tiome anything is possible.... poly has grown to so many members from what was such a cool Civ2 site to expanding to other games and other forums.

I think the site only lists vbulletin boards or at least Ubborads- PROT is delphi... and would probably be #299999 anyway, so it's not listed

ACS Forums gest ranked high because of having so many members, but as we have so many old redundant accounts and many lurkers that simply register, but don't post anything, we are more down on the list then. So more active members > more posts > higher ranking. Many forums have less members than ACS Forums, but still have more posts as the level of activity is higher. ACS Forums are BTW are using the oldest BBS software out of all the top listed forums.

flash9286,

none of them are listed, but quite many of them have a large member base, but a low activity rate as more people register just to download stuff, rather than posting stuff. However good sex forums are of course a different story.

And you think that all those foums above us are different in this respect? Every large forum has lurkers and old members who have left forever.

Even Rasbelin had already left forever. Of course, it didn't last very long, till he got ... erm ... reconvinced.

That said, I'm leaving forever!

I used to subscribe to a mailing list dedicated to maintaining, fixing, driving and racing Dodge Dakota trucks. I quit because I couldn't keep up with the 10+ quarter-meg email digests I was getting each day.

Yeah I was waiting for the response as well. There may well be one, but as of right now I can't see it, and Rasbelin seems a little shy of offering it.
