BuddyPress

I know Buddypress can handle lets say, 1,000 users, but my question is…
How well would buddypress run with let’s say 30,000+ users?
If not? How much can buddypress actually handle?

Yes, it scales fine.

buddypress.org has 71,877 active member – http://buddypress.org/community/members/
and testbp.org has 31,147 active members – http://testbp.org/members/

it can handle quite a bit.

Scale isn’t just about volume of data. Assuming infinite hardware is available, anything can scale.

@yadigit I know of a few buddypress sites with more than 100’000 members.

@fanquake can you share the the site links? I want see hows the loading time of these sites along with the designs.
