PHPBB - holy smokes :o

Post by JPlush76 »

Anyone else use phpBB? I love it, but I just looked at the size.. after only 70 uses and 700+ posts its at half a meg already.

luckily I have 200 megs for my account, but it seems to be growing REALLY fast.

Jason, how big is this phpbb database?

well thats the obvious solution but there has to be some compression or optimization people are using so they don't have to delete posts.

This site has tens of thousands of posts

its ~500kb upon installation.. so you have nothing to worry about, it also offers gzip compression if you so choose, and if it really gets bad, prune forums that aren't needed to be archived

hey hob that rocks, is that an addon to phpbb or does that stat page come with the download?

I know the top stat box is in the admin section, but I like all the extras :)
