I've finally decided, I'm buying a vBoard!!

[Zaccheus]

OK, as the title says, i've made up my mind to purchase a board for my siteNeoGurus.net, but before i go through with it i wanna make sure that the learning curve for such a thing isn't too far from my reach. Here are my concerns:

1) My hosting plan has 9 gig of storage and 50 gig of transfer space a month. Right now i have no worries about using all of either, but when my site grows into something a bit more I'll be expecting more and more bandwidth being used. So my first problem is how much space+bandwidth does a vBoard use? [use this board for example, or atleast an estimate]

2) Coding..I know a good deal of HTML and DHTML, some XML and Java, and have absolutely no knowledge of PHP or MySQL [although i have a few books about them but havn't had the time to look through them and learn them]. My 2nd q is; How much coding knowledge is required to operate it? And how much knowledge would i need to have of the subject in order to isntall some of the hack found on this site? [mainly the RPG battle hacks(they're perfect for a special battle system my partner and I created) and the store/item/card/triad hacks]

3) How do i go about making a skin of my own?

Those are the only q's i can think of, and from all the posts and help i've seen in other threads, i'm gonna thank everyone now. So, thanks for your help!
