But say I hope to have at least 15,000 members, 20,000 threads, & 1,000,000 posts... how much a month do you think a forum like this would cost? What kind of server would I need?

I plan on running a forum this big in the next 3 years.

Thing is...

I honestly don't know how people can pay up to $800 a month for their boards. Maybe because I'm only 18 but it just sames insane. Almost $10,000 a year?

Someone please enlighten me... you all must have really well paying jobs. :surprised:

No is a stupid post is a really question.

For example i pay $220 / month for a Dedicated Dual Dual Xeon 2.8 2 GB Ram 15K RPM 2x 73GB SCSI Disk

I have a forum with 1.500.000 posts 23.000 members and 600-800 constants users.

How you can see is lot less than the $800/month that you mention
