Hello,

I am planning on starting a PC-football related website, containing the first RESPONSIBLY moderated forums for such a site on the net.

But, in all my research, I can find no mention of how much hosting space to purchase in order to successfully use these forums.

Can someone help me out with this?

It all depends on how popular your board is, you should be able to install the forums with about 20mb of disk space and easily have a large forums with under 50mb of mysql space.

If you want to be comfortable try and get around 100mb of disk space and 150 of mysql space.
You'll need more disk space for doing database backups and the extra mysql space for when you run myisamchk.

Thank you very much for the advice. It is appreciated.

If you are worried about the amount of space needed, you might want to consider disabling upload of avatars and attachments.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
