Depends how active they are. If they are as actice as WHT, I would consider maybe even something close to 30 GB. I am running a smaller board with around 100 members and it needs about 2 GB/month, however members are a bit inactive.

Depends on how many "active" members? Regisitered members who don't post use no bandwidth. :D

Depends whether the board allows attachments? This can add up fast and make your database very large.

If all 1000 members will be active, all use huge avatars and every post include atachments probably 20gb/mounth not enough :)

If all the 1000 members be active, it can take about 25GB's but not too sure...
