Out of pure interest, does anybody know the current size of the database this forum runs on?

I would say around 350-500MB, but no more than 500MB ...

Perhaps I should have setup a poll ;)

Why no more than 500mb? Not that I'm saying your wrong!

Oops, I mean ... no more than 600MB. It's just my guess by comparing WHT to another VB forum I host (registered member: 12133, total threads: 42355, total posts: 250542, DB Size: about 580MB).

Hm ... I don't think I am supposed to give out my clients' info without their permissoin .. ;) This site might not be the biggest, but it's growing very fast and deep inside my heart I am a bit proud to host it and see it grow (one of my first clients)... it's my little baby :)

cheers,

Ah yes ... anandtech, probably the busiest forum ever! :D The last time I remember, anandtech is using load balancing of 6 (or 7) web servers and one dedicated SQL server ... that's a really nice setup! :)

Really nice, yes!
I wonder how much they make with advertising to cover the costs...
