    it depends on the activity and whether you allow attachments or not. a new one shouldn't require more than 300mb diskspace.

    I have a ~3 million message forum (between posts, chat messages, and private messages), which fits nice and tight into about two gigabytes all told. Forums don't take a great deal of room, but you will probably want to consider every five thousand messages may take up to 10 megabytes of space.
