vbulletinboard alone is $85 per year, or $160 to use it indefinitely... thats what it says on their site anyway ;x

Correct.
I guess that's right.

 

[Adams_16v]

there are open source forums available that are just as good if not better

You think that.. but the administration side of this and the wide range of plugins are very good.

I'd side with Adams_16v on this, the open source forums have come along way, SMF especially.

If you haven't already Daz, then SMF is worth a play just to see what's on offer now. Not suggesting Cliosport consider changing as that would be a pain in the arse but if money ever became an issue then it's a viable alternative.

Thanks guys, just wanted to know out of curiosity. I am with SMF now, but I like the way that this forum operates etc. O yer, roughly how much bandwidth would the web server have to have for this forum, with so many users etc?

If you're worried about your forum then I can give you an idea of mine.

Last month I had 649787 hits and used 1.48Gb bandwidth

I have a 20Gb / month limit.

Bandwidth isn't just used up by just users though, it's anyone at all who visits the forum.

I have 8Gb/month for my site and forum, that should be enough I think
