Which do you prefer? I've known people can be very different when it comes to this and some prefer big forums such as http://www.thebiggestboards.com/303/Other/NCAAbbs/ , and sites like that but some can like small sites such as ones just recently advertised or new to the forum world say under a year since the birth of it.

I much rather a bigger forum.
 
I agree with ashimashi. I like forums that's active enough that you get a reply in a day, but not so fast that your post gets hidden on the 4th page 2 minutes after posting. However, I posted a post here 3 days ago - no replies 😛
 
Some would say a forum that only gets a new post every 30 seconds is a small forum 😛

"Big" and "small" are relative of course, but I like a large, busy forum myself. Large meaning lots of responses every day and also things to respond to. I run out of things to do on a small board.

This to be honest. I like my forums getting 40k-50k posts /mo.

Not too active for your post to be lost in a minute and not too small with only getting 10 posts a day.

So something like this forum would be great. 🙂
this is pretty much what I like.
 
Smaller forums here. This is actually partially why I chose to run a general discussion forum more than anything. Big forums it's all too easy to get lost in the crowd and what-not.
