hi, i'm looking for a forum software and i read this review http://www.forum-software.org/vanilla/review
the review says that Vanilla Forums is recommended for Medium Community (1000-9999 members or 150.000 posts).
what do you think about this?
is there any problem about Big(large) community forum?

http://nginx.org/
However the number of really big forum are few and far between, if you have the the right hosting package there is no reason why you couldn't handle the load.
