Glad to hear that. We use Vbulletin, one of the best forum programs out there, and it's specifically designed to handle a large number of concurrent users. It's a very stable and well designed program.
If you've visited the railroadforums section, you'll see that there are consistently 100 or more users online at one time, and it runs well.

We're also open to suggestions and ideas. We have quite a few special interest areas, and we'll be glad to add more if there's interest. So if you'd like a topic for your favorite type of modular design, such as N-track, or one about modeling in On30 or whatever, just let us know. We'll do our best to provide areas that match our member's interests.
