How much bandwidth does this board normally use? I need a rough figure.

I think you want General Discussion. Thinking of getting a VBulletin? keep in mind, there's more to the site than the vb...although I'm sure it takes up most of the bandwidth.

That's not possible. I think a figure of 50 GB per month would be more reasonable (even though that's still a lot :D). I strongly discourage you from getting a vBulletin board. It's NOT worth the price. You can get MUCH cheaper plans (free ones, in fact) for boards with almost JUST as many features as vBulletin (if you add all the hacks into it). If it was $30 per year, I'd seriously consider it, but $85 is ridiculous.

I'm optimistic about phpBB 2 Final Release. Also, I guess OpenBB 2 is about to be released.

Hey, don't forget me! I'm very optimistic about the release of phpBB2! It gives me more evidence to complain about plagiarism when I get my website started!

Alright...allegedly phpbb2=a good complaint source.

PHPBB 2 and OPENBB 2 I believe, would be a new source for complains...:rolleyes:

No matter how much bandwidth this site uses, you aren't likely to need anything at all close to as much... unless you have 5,000 members and 150,000 posts, which isn't likely.

I think PHPBB2 is pretty clean too..
