Pretty much. No idea the size, but there are over 11 million posts.

Doesn't vortex run vB?

I can't imagine that site having fewer posts than AW.

Not that I'm advocating vB, mind you.

They did no testing

Just to be clear... they entered into definitive agreement to buy AW before they bought vB.

I wonder how HowardForums does it...

They have ALOT of posts, high traffic loads, and a ton of forums. No clue what the server or load balancing is there.

Of course another vB site I frequented, (umm... maxima.org, old car) had to disable the search feature because it was killing the (one?) server.

Also, vortex doesn't even host their own forums, RelyNet handles all the messy details. (see their page)<ul><li><a href="http://howardforums.com/">http://howardforums.com/</a</li></ul>
