Hi again Andy,
The forum application footprint is very small my development copy (which also contains debug databases etc...) is around 50mb. Of course as the forum is used more, avatars uploaded (Which you can ration space per user for) images, files, etc... and of course the ever growing database, the growth is linear, but i wouldnt expect you to get near a gigabyte for a few years (unless you have a very popular forum.) In a VPS environment I would budget for upto 100mb of RAM usage peak load, and around 50 - 70mb base/idle.Hope this helps.
Kindest Regards,

| Hi Andy, Hope your very well. Many thanks for your post. Good question  Obviously there are a few variables here but lets say for example we take our Developer License. With all the source files (which you would typically not upload - you only need the binaries) the default folder size is 29.1 MB. Excluding all the source code and only considering the files you would actually need to upload the base install would come to 17.6 MB. It's important to consider your users maybe uploading content via the forum. For example profile pictures, avatars and images inserted directly into posts are all stored within the Uploads folder. The Uploads directory could grow depending on your traffic and number of members etc. Post attachments are currently stored in the database. This allows use to perform security checks if for example a user attempts to access the attachment directly. However we've received a number of requests to offer the option to also store attachments on the file system as SQL server space can be expensive. We'll be supporting this in a small update soon. Again the amount of space post attachments take up really depends on your traffic and how much content users are submtitting. You can of course currently set storage limits for post and private message attachments within permission sets for each member group or member to ensure you don't suddenly runout of SQL Server space. I think 5gig will be plenty. I hope this helps. If you need any further information don't hesitate to respond
Kindest Regards,
