There are a number of online communities, and the range of topics of conversation is unlimited. Say you want to talk about sport there are plenty of forums out there for you. Interested in the vacuum? There is a site that has you covered. Looking to find people who love Japanese schoolgirls as much as you do? Are just clicks away? Most online communities are small and specialized, because there are only so many people in the world interested in a TV show or some disgusting fetishes. However, the following ten are so big they have become milestones of the Internet.
Top 10 the biggest internet communities
10. BuddyPic

72,366,965 posts and about 200 users at any given time.
Content
Half discussion and half-site score board, BuddyPic is the place to visit if you are in desperate need of attention. Users must upload a photo of themselves before they can post, and most conversations come from people telling each other what they are attractive or ugly. There are wider issues of the dispute, but the vast majority of users spend their time ogling the opposite sex images. And since this is the Internet, the council spent looking pictures of girls are more popular than type checking.
This whole operation could collapse the second one a search for “girls” on Google Images, but until then BuddyPic be full of people looking for validation in the form of a high score on a scale of 1 to 10 and a few poorly worded comments on how creepy people would like to have sex with them. And really, is not that the foundation of all major communities?
9. Something Awful

107,463,888 posts and about 6,900 users at any given time.
Content
Something Awful is a place of great comedy that has been in operation since 1999, and their forums have been known for years. They are unique in that cost $ 10 to join, some people resist the idea of charging money for a forum, but has proven effective to ward off those who just want to advertise or cause problems. Something horrible has been responsible for a wide variety of Internet fads, some of them hilarious and others … so. But in general, something horrible combines’ comedy with content that is in good forums to be one of the most interesting sites of the Internet has to offer.
8. Vault Network

123,864,808 posts and about 600 users at any given time.

Vault Network was created in 1995, back when most people had no idea of what the Internet was because he had pornography on it yet. In its initial format was devoted to talking about Ultima Online, a video game that had been announced and became very popular. Vault Network has since grown to the point that almost all the leading roles in online game have its own discussion forum. As the diehard fans online RPG nerds are considered large with too much time on their hands, it’s pretty obvious as to how such a large community was built. Sure, there are probably more to it than stereotypes, but I think they are the most important.
7. Offtopic

133,287,296 posts and about 1,460 users at any given time.

Offtopic, as its name implies, is a community where users discuss almost anything you want. Wait, do not do all the debate on the subject? Whoa, wait a second, we have to sit, and we just blew our own minds.
Well, we’re fine. This site also has a subscription, but users can freely access most of its content. And there are plenty of content, any web site you need seven different forums just to discuss the car is either massive or organized terribly. We are very impressed by the magnitude of this place managed to become considered no unifying theme to attract members and the rest of the sites in this list, I guess there’s something about being allowed to wander aimlessly many people find attractive.
6. FaceTheJury
Statistics
163,584,547 posts and about 2,580 users at any given time.
Content
FaceTheJury is ostensibly the second qualifying photography forum on the list, in case you needed further proof that the Internet is mostly populated by perverts with too much time on their hands. However, this site has not really look blurry photos of teens want attention for quite some time. Instead, it has fallen into a strange state of pseudo-anarchy, where there is a lot of very boring flooding the main forum with silly messages, attempts terrible jokes, and a wide variety of insults. Each time you refresh the page there are half a dozen other places in the line of “coffee is great” and “I hate black people,” and nobody seems to care that they have created a wasteland. It’s like the Internet equivalent of Somalia, except with more dick jokes.
5. Nexopia
Statistics
182,602,864 posts and about 7,800 users at any given time.

Nexopia We were surprised that it still exists, let alone the largest online community session. Its users are almost all Canadians, Americans who are not familiar with the site, all you need to know is that it is a social board that is very popular among teens and sexual predators.
Nexopia The average user is around 16 years old, so we attended a talk on the forums is like being back in high school, but instead of a group of four or five girls talking to at the present time there are four or five hundred. Discussion topics are more or less what are expected in a place full of teenagers, ranging from allegations of family members to requests for help with homework. There is also a lot of talk about sex, but we’re pretty sure that reading would put us in a kind of watch list, so let’s go ahead.
4. IGN
Statistics
200,298,710 posts and about 10,600 users at any given time.
Content
IGN is one of the sites biggest entertainments, so it’s no wonder that their community is well populated. Most debates are derived from video games, but there are a lot of conversations about movies, television and comics. About half of the tracks are only users complaining about how a film or game was disappointing received unfair criticism, and while that sounds like an insult that’s actually a fairly decent compared to entertainment forums.
Surprisingly, the cars are also a popular topic of discussion, but are not sure if IGN users are really interested in cars, or simply put appearances to combat the stereotype of video game and comic book nerd site otherwise emit. It’s a losing battle, guys.
3. d2jsp
Statistics
317,897,870 posts and about 4,500 users at any given time.

d2jsp started life as a forum to discuss Diablo II, a popular video game. Diablo II is still the focus of today’s conversation, which is impressive considering the game was released in 2000. But d2jsp (we have no idea what jsp is supposed to mean, by the way) has diversified enough, and is now home to the discussions about many other games, other entertainment, and general chit chat. It also has a large international community, any forum with a special meeting for Hungarians clearly has a very broad appeal.
The site even hosts his own game now, a free Internet based on a call Ladder Slasher. Unfortunately, it is not really about the fight against the stairs, but that gives us a great idea for our own game.
2. 4chan
Statistics
569,080,806 posts and about 60,600 users at any given time.
Content
Is there anything I can say about 4chan you have not heard already? Are despicable, and for good reasons, we could devote a whole list of pranks that have flopped. They do great things, such as tracking people who post videos of animal abuse on YouTube, and some things not so great, how to bomb people do not like obscene phone calls and hate mail. They are also responsible for a massive number of Internet trends, some funny, others terrible, and everything takes a long time after they have ceased to be smart.
4chan began as a place to talk about anime, but no topic off limits now. Seriously, there is a lot of it, we went carefully. But what really makes 4chan unique is the fact that people can participate anonymously, which of course leads users to act like idiots because there are no consequences for their actions. The end result is one of the most influential online communities, and certainly its most baffling.
1. Gaia Online
Statistics
1,829,859,563 posts and about 38,700 users at any given time.
Content
This is the largest growing online community. There are 23 million registered accounts, and a million posts are made daily. So what kind of topics of conversation that could lead to many people? Current events? Policy? No, they mostly talk about anime and video games. There are also a lot of RPGs, and lots of rambling nonsense.
If you have not already guessed, most users of Gaia Online are in adolescence. In fact, as I write this, have an entire forum dedicated to members complain about having to return to school. The discussions are not as bright as one might imagine.
You may laugh, but Gaia is a serious issue: Users can pay money to access all kinds of ways to customize their profiles. Is an effective, given that the target of Gaia has a lot of disposable income. Add a ton of free collectible items, flash games, and contests for users addicted to the community, and suddenly realize that the people who run Gaia Online is a genius, probably wrong. Although the fact that they have to maintain a forum for young and nerd, it seems an appropriate punishment for us.
