Table 12
Non-notable website per WP:WEB, possibly also a non-notable club. The main YCC forum has just 262 topics; Table 12 has just 7. Alexa rank is terrible, and Google is no help. Melchoir 04:00, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I've never known a forum or club to have that many topics... The church that the forum is affiliated with has over 40,000 just in the main denomination, a feat for a church only 60 years old... Membership spans to Netherlands, America, Canada, Australia, South Africa, South Korea, and Scotland. No less notable of an entry than many others in the database. It may be noted that some members have in excess of 2000 posts within a couple years... this is obviously the only life they have... as pathetic as that may be, it may also be 'notable'. In a certain community, this group is having a large impact. -batmanhatguy
 * I'm not sure what database you're looking at, but the typical forum with an article at Category:Internet forums has tens of thousands of topics. Melchoir 13:23, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

But consider: there are only a limited number of people talking, the discussions are distinctly topical, and the whole forum is flushed periodically. All in all, there have been far more than 262 topics.
 * Possibly there have, but even if the forum has been flushed a thousand times, that doesn't prove that it's notable per WP:WEB. As you say, there are a limited number of people talking; how many people do you think are listening? Melchoir 23:14, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

 * '''Keep instated. The people objecting have no clue what they're talking about. I've been on the forums 4 years and I've never met any of them. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
 * This Wikipedia article is no more your business than it is mine, I'm afraid. But if you're so familiar with the forum, perhaps you can point us to multiple non-trivial reviews of the forum in reputable, published sources? Or a well-known, independent award it has earned? See WP:WEB, please. Melchoir 23:12, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
