No, we aren't talking about the size of the male genitila. My concern, thoughts, and question is about the size of forums as far as pages go.

Xelation.com - The page sizes are quite large but the look is extremely swell
FeXBoards.com - The page sizes aren't as much as Xelation Forums but still up there.
Yaxay.com - The page sizes are pretty decent but yet c-pr0mpt was able to keep the look extremely top tier.

I was wondering what tips should be given to keeping file sizes down. I'm working on a style right now and just the basic layout and ONE postbit is .9 kb when there are 7 it's about 42 kb a page. I was thinking, "thats going to be a lot when you add in all the fields, post info, etc."

I was just wondering what people thought was an appropriate size for forum pages were.

I dunno, kinda worried that its going to cost me to have the best looking forums I can create & run.

/sigh
