How big is it

[cannabis campbell]

Well i know this should be posted in the sexuality section but.. lol im joking its not about that but thats what you were thinking :stoned:

anyway i was stoned or i am stoned and i was wondeirng well if we make threads will they still be here in 5 years?? how large is the memory thing because it must be quite big if it has to hold all of the text that thousands of stoners make

anyone got a clue??

like 10 inches













just kidding man, i have no clue, but i dont think it keeps everything, only the threads that are often replied to.

[cannabis campbell]

Yeah but in theory if really old threads were deleted wouldnt your post count go down ???

sorry i just think about random shit when im stoned

[invision]

depends and how big of a hard drive this server is on and how much of it is dedicated to the forums

[iwantFUEGO]

im pretty sure most of the older posts are deleted...

but the RECORD of their existence is what they keep.

[4gan2ja0]

id think theyd just delete really old, dead threads that no one cares about, but i havent been here really that long to actually have any proof

Whoa, Invision. Nice researching. Well, I guess that solves THAT question.

Next question is...how much of their server space does MY THREAD occupy. LOL. I think I must've posted at least 500 pics in it by now. Haven't counted tho.

Nice work, I.

Hmm so that was in 2004 is that when the boards were created :s ??

i linked to the very 1st post already in the archives

Well from what i can remember this site was made in 1997, i think. I havnt done any of these fancy searches so dont hold me too it.

But i know the forums were around before 04, because i remember reading about this site in The Sun paper, someone got nicked for selling bud over th site.

That's how i got into it, but i didnt actually bother registering untill this year, but i've been looking through the forums for about 2 and a half years now.

This place selectively deletes... there is a decent archive,but there may as well be none,,,as a incomplete one could be real frustrating if you need to find a post and it is gone...

text is relatively small in comparison to pictures,you can get an enormous amount of text on a hard drive,my belief has always been to make what the public says remain for the public to view... pics I really don't consider that important,but what peoples say is!
