Topic: Worried about my PunBB Forum installation getting bigger!

Hi guys,

Just a question because I am kinda getting worried about the stability of my PunBB forum, my current site stats are as of February 20 is as follows:

Total number of registered users: 10706
Total number of topics: 7617
Total number of posts: 75302
Daily visits: 1030 Average
Monthly visits: 28,000 average
Average Daily Signups: 100

check my hits at this link http://extremetracking.com/open;sum?login=kalibog

and my forum is getting larger and larger everyday... you can check it at my site below:

http://www.kalibog.com/index.php

My question is:

1. Is PunBB capable of handling higher traffic like twice or three times my current stats?
2. Is it stable enough to take about or more than 100,000 members?
3. Is there any other PunBB users/forums having large traffic that I can look at?


I am currently using 1.2.7 and is hesitant to upgrade to 1.2.10 because of the modifications I have done, plus I hand-coded most of the updates that are in 1.2.10 into my forum so it is kinda the same...

My question may sound silly but I just need to assure my users (and myself) that the site wont just crash down anytime.

Just a worried person,
Paul

Pun should be alright, if anything it'll be the modifications that cause the problems.
