how many gigs does it take to run a forum like RS?
 
any ideas? mods?:D

murd0c 08-15-2009 10:28 PM

take a look at all the mods in the different areas, basicly someone has to be on all the time to moderate things. Why do you need to know? there are not many fourms like this and not many have the chance/ability to do what Revscene has done.

Does revscene run forums or do they pay another company to use a forum?

Things keep going as long as someone remembers to feed the hamster that's running on the wheel to power the server, which is an IBM XT w/ 640KB and High Density 1.44MB Floppy drive.

i remember when we used to be on EZboard, and I used to be a fucking lurker.

wow, that was 10 years ago.

JSALES 08-16-2009 04:27 AM

when did revscene first start? 10 years is a long time

Ulic Qel-Droma 08-16-2009 04:40 AM

like in 2000 or 2001 i forgot.

impactX 08-16-2009 07:56 AM

Are you talking gigs as in how much space or how much bandwidth?

underscore 08-16-2009 09:30 AM

^ I think he means server space

wouwou 08-16-2009 09:45 AM

Hyde powered RS by himself,

You need Hydes, not Gigs

underscore 08-16-2009 09:56 AM

^ so Hyde's the hamster that powers RS?

johny 08-16-2009 10:32 AM

its all text with some 4kb aviatar pics.. I bet the total server space is nothing.

it's the bandwidth that is huge and $$$.

underscore 08-16-2009 10:37 AM

there's is a LOT of text tho. and now photo galleries

What does this have to do with a request for a numerical value of server space used?

fliptuner 08-16-2009 01:54 PM

lol... do you think its possible that all the text can be fitted on a 4.5GB DVD-R?

text doesn't take that much space does it?

Shun Izaki 08-16-2009 02:13 PM

OP's probably referring to BW used by the server, and believe me... it's a lot.

no but there's 9 years worth of threads. pictures and vids are all links, but the bandwidth would be insane.

Vansterdam 08-16-2009 02:23 PM

real question is how many gbs of porn do us RS members have altogether

underscore 08-16-2009 02:24 PM

duplicates or unique pornos?
