    Consider the amount of people on here... multiply their numbers by 100pm
    you got a whooooole shitload of pm there, and I haven't mentioned the posts yet. All hat stuff does take up some space on the hdd.
    Servers aren't for free, so, they have to draw th line somewhere.

    And no one sings me lullabyes
    And no one makes me close my eyes
    So I throw the windows wide
    And call to you across the sky....

    yes, but add to that the total amount of posts and page memory ...
    also, I assume it's a shared server in a distant location

    It's ultimately going to be huge.

    That estimate is based on the number of members, using the maximum storage for PMs and the maximum PM size. Each PM taking up approx. 4 kb of HDD space.

    I wonder what the user database alone takes up...
    The reason is that we get sql in class now and I was just wondering how much these things take up when they grow in size
