View Full Version : How much server space does the forum use Thunderfall Aug 19, 2002, 12:20 AM How much server space do you think the forum currently uses? Take a guess! I will reveal the answer in a few days. :) Furry Spatula Aug 19, 2002, 12:58 AM oops i said one but i meant 1.5 but what ever the case its between 1.5 and 1 i beleive Ren Aug 19, 2002, 01:46 AM I'll go with 2 GB, considering all the attached pictures around, plus avatars (or aren't these included?)... Pillager Aug 19, 2002, 01:55 AM 1 1/2 Gig is totally random guess. Octavian X Aug 19, 2002, 02:01 AM My guess is, due to TF's lowering file size of attachments, it's 4 GB Switch625 Aug 19, 2002, 02:21 AM I'd guess 4GB. I'm surprised there aren't higher choices on the poll. I would have expected more than that, considering all the messages, attachments, uploads, avatars, not to mention the software that makes the forum what it is, that must be sitting on the server. Dell19 Aug 19, 2002, 02:43 AM I went for 800 MB although is it just for the forum, or for the whole site? Zwelgje Aug 19, 2002, 02:44 AM I'll go for the highest number, the amount of pics attached must take up quite some space! :eek: Sodapop Aug 19, 2002, 06:36 AM Last time TF talked about it, I think he said something around 750 Mbs. So my guess will go to 1 GB... Actually, probably 1.5 GB since it's been a long time, and with custom avatar and those things. I would have taken "Too much" but that wasn't an option ;) Thunderfall Aug 19, 2002, 08:22 AM hehe... at least none of you picked the obvious stupid answers. ;) Knight-Dragon Aug 19, 2002, 09:18 AM Is there a prize for the correct answer? :crazyeye: I guess 1 gig. :) Padma Aug 19, 2002, 09:26 AM I guessed 2 Gig, but I wouldn't be surprised by anything up to 4 Gig. :) Incubus0223 Aug 19, 2002, 09:47 AM i'd say 3 GB cuz with all these new units that are coming out have such quality and there are so many as well as how many threads there are i would even say more but 4 GB is the highest so i don't know if its a trick or not but 3 GB is my guess Hitro Aug 19, 2002, 10:04 AM Does that the include the upload server? Well I say 1.5 GB :) Thunderfall Aug 19, 2002, 11:07 AM Originally posted by Hitro Does that the include the upload server? Well I say 1.5 GB :) No, just the MySQL forum database. The main site and the upload folder are not included... ;) anarchywrksbest Aug 19, 2002, 11:23 AM I don't know how much it uses currently but didn'y you say that telefragged wasgoing to upgrade to 1.7GB King of Camelot Aug 19, 2002, 01:08 PM Originally posted by Knight-Dragon Is there a prize for the correct answer? :crazyeye: Yes, lets turn this into a contest, person how gets it right and posted there answer first wins....lets say, mod for a day?;) I guess 4.0 GB, oh wait, other have already said this so if its right I won't win!:cry: :) Daaraa Aug 19, 2002, 04:53 PM Just the database you say? Then I'll say 1 Gig. Strider Aug 19, 2002, 06:06 PM 2.0 GB.... I don't know what GB means, but I'm lucky with the number 2 & 0. starlifter Aug 19, 2002, 06:17 PM I guess 3.0 GB. I see a few other people did, too. Thunderfall Aug 19, 2002, 08:54 PM And the winners are....... (drum rolls). Ren and Strider! The forum database is about 2.1 gigs!, and the attachments are responsible for about 1.2 gigs of that amount. :crazyeye: Zwelgje Aug 20, 2002, 01:05 AM Quite impressive. The attachments are getting out of hand, people just attaching large pics... I always try to upload files and then link to them, does this take up server space too? Dell19 Aug 20, 2002, 01:34 AM Wow alot of attachments. It probably hints at the fact that alot of attachments are left even though there is no use for them any longer. Octavian X Aug 20, 2002, 02:23 AM Drat. I wanted the free t-shirt... Padma Aug 20, 2002, 06:23 AM Originally posted by Thunderfall And the winners are....... (drum rolls). Ren and Strider! The forum database is about 2.1 gigs!, and the attachments are responsible for about 1.2 gigs of that amount. :crazyeye: What, didn't you see my post, tucked in between Ren's and Strider's?I guessed 2 Gig, but I wouldn't be surprised by anything up to 4 Gig. <sniff>Gee, I know I'm nobody special, <sniff> but, <whimper> I kinda thought, you know, that maybe <sniff> I'd be noticed. :cry: :D Thunderfall Aug 20, 2002, 10:50 AM Originally posted by Padma What, didn't you see my post, tucked in between Ren's and Strider's?<sniff>Gee, I know I'm nobody special, <sniff> but, <whimper> I kinda thought, you know, that maybe <sniff> I'd be noticed. :cry: :D Oops! My bad... :D You have to forgive me cuz it's well known that the first and the last items on a list are the most noticeable ones. ;) Padma Aug 20, 2002, 11:27 AM That's Okay, TF. :D (BTW, my T-shirt size is XL. ;) ) Gastric ReFlux Aug 20, 2002, 12:32 PM I would have guessed 4 gigs with 3.6 gigs taken up by polls. |
