Forum Filling Up

Chocohead · June 28, 2014 at 1:10 AM Official Post

Is there anyway that one day the forum could just get full of years of crap that everyone's posted, so it wouldn't have room for anything new? Who'd fix it if it did?

Web pages aren't as big as you'd think so, depending on the storage for the servers, it would take years to fill a hard drive. The best way would probably be a archive site though.

Or delete some of the too much outdated content?

That is a bridge crossed when one arrives at it.

Doubt it would fill anytime soon.

3 years and only 260Mb... wow, posts really aren't worth much xD

The best thing is that there's nearly 3 times more space on attachments than posts. Thinking about how rare attachments are, an average post must only be a few kilobytes at most.

Told you. To a computer, a web page is only a basic text file.
