Hi Burkels.

It's not about space or bandwidth in the way you are thinking. It's about more CPU and RAM, plus the ability for high numbers of people to access the database all at the same time.

So think of it as connectivity that demands high CPU and RAM usage. The forums are rather technical and most of the time new members search through old posts than take part in new threads.

It's a huge database of answers to technical questions.

At the moment, we chopped 180,000 posts from the database just to reduce the load while we wait to restore them once we move to a dedicated Server.

Regards.
Sharp.
