    Biggest Forums

    What's the biggest community besides WHT you've ever come across. I'm not talking specifically about web hosting, more so about anything!

    www.hardforums.com is bigger, but the database is constantly being pruned.

    www.genmay.net is big as well, but my favorite is http://forums.somethingawful.com -- pay forums, but well worth it! I'm a mod of the buy/sell/trade forums there .

    Well he doesn't have it in his profile or signature, so hardly proof of spam is it?

    Not that I really give a crap if he mentions his own forum, but if you check his profile, you'll notice his yahoo messenger handle(stuw32) is the same as a moderator's name at the forum he mentioned.

    You are all accusing me of something, which I am not!!

    That is not a nice thing; I can now see that they are not some nice people here on WHT.

    Mod’s if you wish to talk to me about this please PM.
