You can have over 1 million posts in Web Wiz Forums SQL Server or mySQL versions no problem.

However having to many forums tends to put people off posting as it splits up people across multipe forums.

May I ask why would you want so many forums?

thank you for responding.
I just wondering if I have hurge of number of forums.
 
My question is : If I have hurge number of forums, will the server uses 97% of CPU or even more ?  will it crush the server when many people search and post at the same time ?
 
thank you

No problem if Bruce hosts your millions of forums! His servers are solid.

We have over 1,500 members, almost 60,000 posts in 7,100 topics in 31 forums.
Small, but solid forum.

Having millions of forums on the one instance should not overload the server as it is the same as having millions of posts.

The index page of the forum is highly optimised to run just a single SQL query to get all the data needed to list all the forums.

However, the limitation you will probably hit is that all the forums are listed on one page, trying to display all the forums on a single page would probably reach the limit of the ASP response object as there would be to much data for it to be able to send to the web browser.

This would not course the server to run at 100% CPU or other resources, in fact it would not effect performance on the server but would result in an error message being sent to the web browser.

The only way to get around this would be to re-code the forums main frontpage so that it displayed the forums over multiple pages.

You would also need to change any CInt's to CLng's, apart from these changes Web Wiz Forums should run out the box with this number of forums.
