VeggieBoards is one of the largest and most active Internet forums for vegetarians and vegans. [1] As of 26 January 2008 VeggieBoards has more than 30,000 registered members and over 30 forums (which contain over 1.7 million posts) for issues relating to vegetarianism, veganism, animal welfare, animal rights, environmental issues, health, physical fitness and recipes. There is also a blog and a members-only photo album. The forum software is vBulletin.

[edit] History

VeggieBoards was launched in December 2000[2], and its first appearance in the Internet Archive is February 2001[3]. The first big group of members came from the message board at Vegan Outreach that went defunct early in 2001. The next big wave of new members came in April 2003 when the message board at VegWeb closed down and the members were encouraged to sign up with Veggieboards[4].
