    Are you asking about our bandwidth usage or our database size?

    Actually, both are into the terrabytes and I dont have exact figures for either. Poor aul Cult will be back sometime and might have the answers.

    I know I dont want to know the bandwidth size, last time I asked Regi is was like 8 Terrabyte a month or something insane. i'd guess its maybe 12 now?

    Anyone else want to play "guess the sizes before Cult arrives"... everyone except Asok and friends :p

    I cant recall the database at all, I'll guess 6 TB. (you'd think I'd know that, wouldnt you! :) )

    What always scares me about the big-boards statistic is the amount of vertical in every trend.

    I can remember when we hit 1 million posts. It was a milestone and it took four and a half years to get there. Now we get a million posts every 3 months.

    Size of the DB is 10-11GB.

    I actually don't know what our monthly bandwidth is.

    I thought the title was "Boards monthly bandwagon", and was gonna suggest thanking The Citizen's posts....

    wow... the DB is a lot smaller then I thought it would be. Oh hang on... the attachements are stored in the fileserver now? not the DB?

    That would make more sense if so.
