We will be installing ASP Playground on a dedicated server which I am setting up with my hosting company right now. We have a question about database size. We will be importing 80,000 users and 700,000 posts. Do you have a way of computing the required database size? Even a rough guess?

Our current forum is here: http://chat.provida.com/ .

There is not a reliable way to compute the size of your database based on just number of posts / members. It really depends on the size of the messages posted on the forum. I will ask my clients about the size of their databases and then give you a rough estimate.

You give you some idea from our database, we have 10000 members, 190000 posts in 34000 topics
The database is roughly 250mb
