Link works fine for me. I don't understand how the DR1 forum would be so large given the market is much smaller than other countries (france/UK/Colombia/Costa Rica, etc).. This must mean you're really doing things right and there's a lot of opportunity to grow your model. Congrats!

It's those fabulous mods, man! The secret to the model. LOL

All kidding aside, I am sure that age (of the site -- since 1998) and Robert's constant struggle to keep it growing and improving explain much of that ranking.

And personally I am betting it will get much higher than 19

According to this service, DR1 would then be 9th based on number of members, 9th in terms of posts last week, and 19th for post/member ratio. Sounds great!!! How reputable is the source, though?

I agree! Nice job Robert! Plus the mods and everyone who posts on DR1 should be proud of this. It's a group effort. It's easy for websites/boards to die off, but posters here are constant and provide invaluable info. Keep it up guys!!!

At least one of the very, very largest - TripAdvisor; seems conspicuous by it's absence.
