Maximum number of sub-forums

[scontapay]

What is the maximum number of subforums allowed in a forum? I am hoping its just limited by the MySQL database. So it would practically be unlimited? TIA.

Hi sconta:

Yes you are correct. The maximum number of forums we can have is unlimited, and limited by MySQL.

So I am extrapolating this out to it also applying to subforums within forums? And is there any type of performance hit on a forum with a large amount of subforums?

And I must commend you on the very fast reply time.

The only performance hit I can think of is you'd need to load large pages in your admin cp due to the large amount of forums; other than that, things should not have any performance hit.
