Database is probably below 5GB you way far off on 500GB
Not so far I think it is more than 50 GB
I would think, not more than 50gb , including the log files
More than 103000 discussions and a lot of discussion have hundred of pages and every page have wall of texts
I think it is big big database
I would still stick to my 50gb guestimate
Less than 100Gb
Basis for my guesstimate-
Assuming an average record size of 5 KB, daily data for 10 million transactions can reach 50 GB
This would scale up to around 1.5 TB per month and 18 TB per year for transactional data alone.
text doesn't really take up much storage and LET doesn't even have image uploads
What the size for one page you think
suppose every discussions have 25 page
103000x25=2575000 x the size of page = ?????
Very crude napkin guesstimate: 100k threads with avg 25 comments each and avg 250 chars each -> about 23 GB (plus, of course DB overhead) so. 25 GB guesstimates sound like about in the ballpark.
From what (little) I feel to know, @FAT32 is the "tech admin" and should know. Care to tell us, FAT32 (if it's not considered sensitive information) whether we're about right or totally off?
For sure is under 500GB.

Imagine voting for "More than 500 GB"
No no.
With all the images, gifs, videos embedded, it's gotta take some space, right?
/s
Don't forget the markdown
Oh and thr every alternate posts of yabs and gb scores, that out to weigh out the db
Yeah, I have a small SSD for games and other smaller stuff and a big 8TB HDD for my text files
The interesting question is how big is the data of the Domain Awareness System.
Can someone do some napkin math and then we'll have fun comparing and voting on the stupidest results?
More than 500 GB
Sorry, I meant over 6 inches
It is actually lower than that... let's just say about 10GB. Why? Because for some reason Vanilla forum cleaned up some old stuff from time to time and I have no idea why... (It might be some old cronjob set by previous admin but I need time to take a look)
I know it is exaggeration but I was think it is more than 50 GB
Thank you, @FAT32! How kind of you to provide some insight.
that interesting I was think it more than 50 GB
