Funny, I though I read that this was the 5th largest board somewhere in another thread...:confused:

That's because we're not a bunch of loser nerds with no life that just post on forums all day...

Oh wait..

Maybe we should create a new category...... called "Offtopic Christian Roleplaying Video Game Discussions" "Now, with more YAGTs!"

it's dropped a lot. I seem to remember it being the 3rd or 4th largest English board on the 'net.

Some of those stats are way off for at least some of the boards. For example, it lists XBox-Scene as having about 122K members, when it actually has over 300K.

I wonder what they're using for a back-end database. I can't imagine MySQL holding up to that kind of usage, that's for sure.

:eek: I just have heart of IGN, offtopic and gamefaqs....everything else is total confusion to me!

WTF is Gaia and where did it come from, it dominates over #2 IGN by like 7x posts and 4x members!!!

I used to post avidly at IGN but gave up because once I used AT more frequently (I visited the site long before I started posting) was more mature beyond the childish "ButtseckZzzzz" dribble that would occur all day long. ATOT has more "taste" in that regard as things here are actually funny.

I'm suprised chinese boards aren't littered everywhere since china has a 1/6th of the world's population

Holy Bullsh!t Batman!!!! :shocked:

Christian Fundamentalism at it's finest!!!
I want to do what is right with the one I love... I have to rethink many things. I don't want to risk my relationship with my potential wife nor do I want to disapoint God. I guess I should not kiss then.

Kissing is the devil!! :evil:!

Couldn't stay there long as the flashing Winner! Winner! Winner! banner was causing seizures, but it lists AnandTech members as 106651 and there are actually 149183.

You probably want to steer clear of Gaia Online. It will burn your eyes out.
