    I can't see the issue with that. Outbound bandwidth is the server giving its users pages (i.e. serving the forum), and inbound bandwidth is requests (and uploads) from users. For example:

    User request:
    GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: yourdomain.com
    Code (markup):
    Length: ~ 34 Bytes

    Response:
    Pages of text, and images.

    Length: ~ Hundreds of kilobytes.
