You'd be surprised how many posts this thing can handle.

I've seen forums with over 1,000,000 THREADS.. (not to mention how many posts they have)

I have been on sites that have had 100's of people on at the same time (in the Who's Online list) out of a user base of 1000's.

So its really not a matter of can the forums handle it.
Its a matter of .. how can we keep up with the discussion you want to see and participate in, and block out the discussion you dont want to see and participate in.
