640k, you don't need any more

pls

A lot
Seriously now, this thread seems too random. I don't know to be honest, let's say we have around 40 boards(maybe not) and every board can support around 100 threads at once, and every thread has bump limit of 300(that's on /b/) and then you can have an idea in mind. Those values are pretty retarded probably but meh who gives a shit.

plus archive though. which is relatively new right?

Oh right, I forgot about that, although I would think that archive is in its own database. Since Jow Forums has a lot of traffic I would guess it would be pretty big. Not all threads are archieved, but still.

How many characters can you have in a Jow Forums post?
To get a worse case scenario you'd have to calc:
thread_size = (max # chars/post + 4MB media) * bump limit
board_size = thread_size * max # threads (including archive)
Jow Forums_size = # boards * board_size
and then you'd have to add the space used by indexes, internal DB structures, etc.

Your forgetting to include the 100GB of blacklisted IP addresses in your calculation

literally on the front page

How do I become a user?

4000 bytes (unicode maybe) + 4MB img
400 bump limit
200 threads
40 boards

~ 12.8128 terabytes

seems too rounded

>How do I become a user?
Stop being a program.

500 replies, 150 threads, 70ish boards, do the math.
Each reply is a max of 2000 bytes.
150 image replies allowed.

About 10 GiB for the text, 7ish TiB for the images, assuming 4 MiB images. You could probably cut down on images, if you just point URLs to existing MD5 images in the db.

the number fluctuates around 1tb. you can see the number at the bottom of Jow Forums.org. see for yourself from time to time.

I'm curious what qualifies as a user here. How many unique users has made a post in the last 24 hours?

about three fiddy

I assume the number of IPs the server sees at the moment of posting

Damn Loch Ness monster!
