Title: A question about HLP
Post by: Kamikaze on January 04, 2002, 02:53:00 am: A question to Steak or Thunder or some other HLP moderator dude.

About how much space (disk) does the data for the HLP forums add up to?

I'm interested in creating a forum but don't know what kind of web hosting is ideal.

Post by: Shrike on January 04, 2002, 02:58:00 am: For the forums? Depends on how many threads you'll have. There's a lot of subdirectories so it's annoying to add up, but the software itself is pretty small. Half a meg, zipped.

What are your choices?

Oh, and don't bother asking Setekh or Thunder about it. I'm the one who does the forum stuff. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/drevil.gif)
