myBB bandwidth questions

[SaturnElite]

1. How much bandwidth does each individual user take up?
2. How much bandwidth does each individual topic take up?
3. How much bandwidth does each individual reply take up?
4. How much bandwidth does each individual category take up?
5. How much bandwidth does each individual forum take up.
6. How much bandwidth does each individual calendar event take up?


And lastly, how much bandwidth do these topics take up both individually and combined, are they a huge waste of bandwidth or just like so minuscule that it doesn't matter, this is where I listed my site's affiliates (one topic per each affiliate): http://pcannon.x10hosting.com/forums...ay.php?fid=125

It all depends upon how much each of those items are viewed by your users:
If they are viewed only once then the bandwidth usage would be in the range of a few kilobytes, depending upon the size of the page that are located on.
If they are viewed thousands of times then the bandwidth usage would be on a more noticeable scale, either in MB or GB depending on size and popularity.

So basically, if you know the size of the page then you just apply this:
Bandwidth consumed = Page size * number of views
Unless your site is a major competitor with tens of thousands of hits a day then you really don't need to worry about how much bandwidth is being consumed.

As for disk space, a single post/user/etc takes up mere bytes of data so that isn't worth worrying about.
