Most likely...
But it's not the one with biggest game library most likely due to rules...

... Neither of those are Adult VN websites...
... In that case you should've been including Itch.io or even steam and gog...

But to adult games... sure

I assume they are hinting at age content, but the amount of age content that isn't allowed here is actually really small despite the people who cry about it.
However, there are some other things that aren't hosted here either:
Mainstream games, even if they have prominent adult modding communities like Bethesda games or the Sims.
Non translated Japanese games.
Online only, or DRM shovelware
Unimportant flash games
And a few others I likely can't remember. It may not seem like much, but there's prob hundreds of games that don't get posted here. Mostly because no one cares, or there's worry about legal action.
Personally i feel f95 is the biggest and most active english AVN hub. Disregarding 4chan, reddit etc.
However it pales in comparison to those Hentai Game hubs, at least those in the past i worked with. I used to be an uploader for a H-Games, Hentai, Anime forum and distro in the mIRC in my college days before i was shipped of to the army and dropped the hobby, they were way bigger than f95. To be fair, the genre was an underground scene so everyone flocks to the same sources cos there's no others.
And yes, i differentiate AVN from H-Games/JapVN cos the latter is a defining genre of its own despite it being japanese(non-international) and was in the market with a huge international following way before english AVNs were mainstream.
I recently got back into the hobby, well not recently, its been 2 years and its specifically for eng AVNs, not the jap or jap inspired ones. Haven't found a website that rivals f95. That said, f95 has some pretty strict rules, understandably, so you'd have to scour the web for other stuff you want.

More than the number of users, there's the traffic... It's obviously relative, because only local measures can give an exact value, but an estimate of
You must be registered to see the links
is more than honorable.Another element that say a lot, is the financial viability of the forum. There's 30 servers behind it, and the expenses are funded by just a small ads banner, that many users will never see because they use an ads blocker. As Sam once said, years ago, the forum stats are good enough to permit them to close an interesting deal on that side ; donors are just a cherry on the cake.
Not true, F95Zone Discord is very much active. Lobby is where most of its activity is, and people type there pretty regularly, at any time of the day.
As for whatever F95Zone is the biggest adult forum, while I don't have the statistics, I can share my personal experience by saying that it's one of with the most user activity. Years ago, I tried to share my first adult game, and while most other forums had 0 replies, I was left speechless by how many replies I got here. I loved it, and sticked with this community ever since.
