anyone know of a forum that has grown fast since it opened?
i mean like a lot of members joined in short time and lots of post
Support forums blew up fairly quick.
Usually you have to work at least a year before any stability in growth.
I am a member of two sites which exploded in members quite soon after they started. The first had lots of hardware give-aways for referring members, and other such gimmicks. The other got lots of members from the other after the original admin sold it to the admin of the second site and started a new site (which most didn't like).

The Elite is quite a little administrator 
You just made me blush.

That sounds like the same scenario Market Swag and ShadyForums was in.
Yeah and the second site is mostly overrun with RP lovers, which makes getting a tech-related or general chat thread answered tough!
The forum i run will be 2 years old at the end of September.
1.7+ million posts. Google PR3 and 35K alexa rank at the moment.
That's pretty fast, without advertising, without giveaways,etc. imho..
