Hello

I have visited the other day a website concerning the most active forums on earth, something like thebiggestforumonearth.com or something. Problem is I cannot find the URL anymore and I have erased my browser's history.... Google is of no help.

This website looked like big-boards.com, but is more detailed, and especially more up to date.

Can anyone be of any help ?

Thanks.
 
Well, I can tell you that it is incorrect. Runescape's official forum should be second, but it isn't.

It is never on those lists for some reason. If you just look at its stats it should rank somewhere around second. The rankings are always hopping around I'm sure, but the top 10 is given.

Its definitely second from calculations. It could be because RS doesn't show its raw stats to guests (unless you can show me where they are).
 
A forum has to have its stats available or accessible to guests in order for it to be displayed.

1. How do you calculate the amount of posts each board has?
The Biggest Boards ranking lists are calculated using a custom script that automatically goes out and updates each boards stats on a daily basis.

And probably the same thing for Big-Boards as well.
 
You can still figure out a site's stats through scripts, regardless of the total stats being shown or not.
 
Yeah, that may be why. Also those 200+ million posts actually don't all exist in public view, as they archive/prune old posts.

Maybe it wasn't submitted?
 
In my opinion, it's sort of their responsibility to keep their top 20 or so accurate, as they list them as if it's fact.
