What's the biggest forum you built from the ground up?

What's the biggest forum that you started with no members? Did you merge with other forums to grow faster(increase members & posts)?

My current poker forum is my largest forum. I just registered pokerwebmaster.com and pokerwebmasterforum.com. I plan to start a poker webmaster forum, and try to revive what I believe is a dead niche.

Mine was Skywarn forum. I built it up to around 4K members and maybe 20,000 posts before I bought out and merged my competition. That put it to over 7K members and nearly 200,000 posts.

But speaking of todays forums, my biggest forum is my Bike Southern Illinois forum with a whopping 111 members
