Is this the most active fan forum in the US?
 

With over 7 million posts in the Lounge alone and hundreds of users on at any given time, is this the most active sports forum in the entire country? I tried to find other forums to dwarf this one on Google, but none of them came even close. I wasn't even able to find an all-NFL forum that had more activity than this one. If you know of a sports-related forum that is more active than this one, I'd be curious to see it.

It's something else that a forum about the Chiefs continues to be so active in the midst of what might be the team's worst season in its history.

We don't care we want Peeholi gone.

We try...

Not even close dude.

Most active forum is Anime Roleplaying.

Then the awfulness of FOUR CHAN

Maybe the most pissed off.

Different sport but that forum is immense.

I browse hfboards.com quite a bit... 109,000 members and almost 43 million posts... but, it has a forum for each NHL team along with several other hockey related forums.

Somethingawful.com and Off Topic are very cool general topic boards that are on the first page there.

You can find decent discussions for anything and everything...and unfettered access to tons of porn. LOL

I'm ignoring shhhh and Reddit and the like, since they're more like groups of forums than just one. That's impressive that the hockey forum is so large, not the sport that I would have expected to bring so many people together to one place.

What if we narrow it down just to the NFL? I couldn't find any comparable ones in that realm.

The hottest sports team fan forum seems to be Michigan State.

I don't see any individual team boards listed above it.

Spurs talk is a few spots below.

Extreme Skins is the most popular NFL team board.

Chiefsplanet is #780. Extreme Skins is #374. So we're relatively close.

Not the Canadians, Americans, Europeans with the occasional Russian?

Broncomania #610

Raiders Fans #633

Chargers forum #681

Chiefsplanet #780

Yeah we are still in last place.

Not where it matters...

Sorry meant #780 LMAO

Going by total posts is kind of misleading. Many very active boards prune their databases on a regular to ensure good performance.

SSD drives on the server keeps that from being an issue anymore :)

I have the smallest forum but I have the best forum software

http://www.raiderfans.org/forum/

reddit's up there, it's basically a message board

we blow Extreme Skins out of the water when it comes to post/member ratio

their at #908

While ChiefsPlanet is at #171

CPU time is an issue.

The bottle neck is at the drive speed with mysql

Interesting. I'm going to look through this list a while longer, haha.

"Prison Talk" is #14 via traffic.

Did all those other NFL forums start in 2000 like this one? You have to take into account when each site was started.

Was sure the balloon animal one was in the top five.

Mantis pets is pretty active...
