    How much space do you say the average Joe forum takes up? The smaller? Bigger?

    I think the average forum takes up not even a GB of data, forums are small, smaller forums can take up not even 100 MB, but some larger forums, such as GaiaOnline, have 7 servers needed to handle it all, they must take up well over 100 GB of space, and well over a TB of bandwidth.

    Gaia has some big as SQL servers for the amount of data they need to process every second.

    Yea, they have a ton of users active every second of the day.

    And Matt, you run a hosting site, so that is bound to take up a lot of space, But how much space does your actual forum take up?
