This really isnt a suggestion but more of a curiosity question.
I was wondering the other day: how much space does all of DPC take up? I mean, with well over 100,000 images and who knows how many users and forum posts, it has to be huge!
Any rough estimates? |

A technical term someone like Laurie might use in cases like this is "shed loads!"
Good question though, and being a closet number cruncher I'd also be interested in bandwidth/visits/members 'lost' hours et al ;)

I don't think I've ever used the term "shed loads" before... maybe it would be more like me to say "tons" or "a bucket load" or maybe even "a lot." But I think it's a probably somewehre along the lines of "more than we can imagine." ;o)

hey, I didn't know you knew so many 'mathematical' terms Laurie. 'shed loads' is probably not an American term (more North west UK) but is the same as bucket loads. Anyway, they all mean a lot ;)

As this is an international site, I believe the correct term is "a metric crapload."

"Shed Loads is used a lot in Australia but we usually substitute the "ed" in shed with "it" |

110,000 x 150 MB = just over 16 Terabytes. So I figure that's a lower bound.
There are about 7,000 prints at, say, 1 MB each which doesn't add much, only 7 Gigs. Plus all the posts add up after awhile.
So my back of the envelope math says something like 16-20 Terabytes. Which, if anyone's counting, is a ... shed load I guess. Other sh-- loads come to mind.

It's more 110 000 X 150KB, not MB |

For want of a decimal place ... so 16-25 GB. |
