Hi,
The number of pages served is doubling every three to four months. It looks like alot of the increases happen whenever crude oil is setting a new record, which has been nearly continuous lately.
By the end of the year you could be getting 10 million page requests a month. Would the site be able to handle that volume? It may end up overwhelmed.
If that happens though you will have one of the most heavily trafficed sites on the net. I haven't kept up on the stats but I heard that last year kazaa got 20 million downloads and was considered the number one for site traffic on the Web.
I think PO.com is a REALLY small fish in a REALLY big ocean.
You want big?

Granted, this is only for message boards, and PO is more then that but still. It goes to show how small PO really is.
The #1 largest board is about anime. Kinda funny. But they have over 2 MILLION memebers.
They have almost 350 MILLION posts on the boards.
I can only imagine that their daily pages served is, but I'd guess its more the PO does a month.
