DigitalPoint DiskSpace

How much disk space do you think Shawn use to keep this forum threads/posts up?
I known the answer but i will let you guess



You known guys i run a project ( www.realranker.com , still in beta) to crawl all the web in order to analyze how search engines works,and why certain websites have certain ranks in SERPs ,etc.


So any estimations ?! How much time do you think somebody need to downland the whole digitalpoint forum (only threads, no itrades,etc, no images) ?!

 

disk space? Gigabytes...

 

I'd say it'd be creeping into the low TBs... probably less than 50TB all up. That's just a wild guess though.

 

No , no it's on GB only!

 

Your picture is nice

 

its in TB too hot handle for the servers

 

Forums don't take alot of space...this forum is quite big though so idk.

 

* rack-mount form factor (7U)
* 20 dual core 64-bit Xeon processors (40 total cores)
* 2.9 TB of hot swappable 15k rpm disk space with hardware mirroring
* 120GB RAM
* dual gigabit Ethernet ports
* Running SuSE Linux Enterprise

Ha ha So there can't be a few Terra bytes how some people say
I bet Shawn use redundant servers, and also keep back ups.


But how i said, the disk space it's in GB not in Terra bytes


HINT: it's under 100 GB !!!

 

Here's some stats to help you try to guess. On my video game forums, I got

Threads: 15,265, Posts: 494,767, Members: 33,640

and the newest back-up is 252 megs, with out images.

Here's DPs stats....

Threads: 526,707, Posts: 4,978,708, Members: 110,959
7.4 million PMs

with 10 times the posts, guessing. 2.5 gigs...with a few few Terra bytes not being used...yet!!! Used space guess doesn't even count all the avatars, *hot* attachments, and pictures on the server! Oh, and not to mention the dead gallery.

 

i think its in 25 gig or higher

 

you have nice boobs in that picture

 

I think you will find those "boobs" aren't softgroups..

 

so does that mean I can have a avatar like that too!!!!!!!! even if thier not my boobs???!!/??a//a//x//x

 

Well to downland all the digitalpoint threads it will require you around 50GB.This is the HTML layout + text, without images.

By the way ... if you want to save into a file all backlinks + the url of the threa from were you grab them... you will have an 1 GB big text file!
(there lot's of links because everyone have 4 links in their signatures, also a blog line, and also copy&paste lot's of urls here)

Uhhh

forgot to mention something, did you knew that 1 of every 40 websites that are appearing on digitalpoint forum , are also appearing in buy / sell links area?!

And not in people signature... neither on their blog line near avatar .... but in their posts about buying/selling links lol

 

How do you figure that out? Are you downloading all the threads like you said you would?

 

I already did that!

 

I think it's no more than 10 GB

 

1TB for me only

 

less than 12gb
