I've heard that the open source forums have issues when the user count gets really high, but I will readily admit I don't actually know that for sure. I've never ran one, personally, so the back end management for it is a known unknown.
If by "really high" you mean ~500 simultaneous commenters, yes. Of all the dumbest things I've ever done, volunteering to run a gaming forum was the dumbest.

I don't know, never done it. I'll take your word for it.
