Hello.
Just wondering if you could answer a simple query for me.

We are about to start a Forum, that is likely to be immediately large as it'll be a customer support which has been heavily requested.

I've investigated vBulletin and PHPbb.

However, how have you found vBulletin to operate under such high loads, as this is a pretty big Forum?

Any comments for me please?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

[Compguy Pete]

both forum apps you listed are great... this site runs on one of those as you can tell

However I also suggest taking a look at http://www.invisionboard.com/

Well, as the Managing Editor of FlashKit, where the discussion forum (also vBulletin) gets roughly a million pageviews per day, with 440,000 members and has an average of 200 members online at any given time, I'd say that vBulletin does quite well at handling a heavy load.
Thanks,
Scott
