How many...

[Hitman]

Hey, just wondering out of interest, how many megabytes (or even gigabytes) is the forum's sql with all the users and forums etc?

Just wondering, I expect it's pretty big.

It expect its 1 or 2 GB even as GZ. As a uncompressed file id wouldnt even be able to guess :p

That's a lot, I suppose it's no problem as HxF is on it's own server, so it can have 10 GB if it wants.

Imagine on a shared hosting plan, it'd be... well, in trouble.

Mines only a guesstimation based on what i remember from complainings over a db restore. So youd need to ask someone with forum access for an accurate idea.

At a guess i'd say several gigabytes since you've got images in there aswell - from avatars and attatchments.
