I was wondering if there are web forums larger than WHT? The only one I've seen which is close to it is http://forum.overgrow.com :)

A forum of any topic, or a forum that covers the same things as WHT?

any topic. I am sure there is nothing even close in size to WHT in web hosting area...

Something Awful forums maybe?

Funny thing to think about.

The Macromedia support forums comes up at #95... now, if your support forums have a lot of posts... is that a good or a bad thing?

I have to agree, you have to have a lot of free time to get that many posts.
