Over the past weekend I took the ubuntuforums.org (http://ubuntuforums.org) forums from 3.7.4 to 3.8 RC2 with great success. The upgrade was painless and only had a few minor template issues.

Forum stats: Threads: 988,990, Posts: 6,396,476, Members: 731,559 with about 70,000 members being active in the last 30 days.

I just wanted to share in case people were looking for other large sites running the 3.8 RC series :)

I can't remember exactly the templates I edited (seems like there were 10) to reflect the 3.8rc2 changes but they were minor.
